Marion can care for
Availability
I work fully remote on East Coast hours, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for pets during the day. I can provide walks, drop-ins, or house sitting on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adapt to your schedule. On my free time, I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, and long walks — so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and attention, while calmer dogs get the care and structure they need.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide personalized, attentive care for every pet, tailored to their needs and your preferences. House Sitting: I can check on pets 1–3 times per day, depending on your schedule and location. I can handle feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication (any type), and provide plenty of updates so you always know your pets are happy and safe. Drop-In Visits: Visits can include stay-and-play, short walks, or a combination, depending on your dog’s needs. I’m happy to stay as long as needed to ensure they get the care, attention, and exercise they require. Dog Walks: Walk length and pace are customized to each dog — typically 30–45 minutes, but longer if your pet needs extra exercise. I can incorporate running, fetch, or swimming for high-energy dogs and adjust for reactive or leash-pulling dogs. I’m happy to work with your training routines, or incorporate my own experience with leash manners, positive reinforcement, and enrichment activities to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged. My goal is to make your pets feel loved, safe, and stimulated while you’re away.
Information Marion K. would like to know about your pet
I’m comfortable with all types of dogs — big or small, shy or stubborn (my German Shepherd can be very stubborn!). It’s helpful for me to know about your dog’s personality, energy level, reactivity, health needs, and any routines or training you’re using. This helps me provide care that’s safe, consistent, and tailored to their unique needs.
A typical day
A tired dog is a happy dog! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated. Depending on your dog’s personality and needs, we can: Walks tailored to your dog — from calm neighborhood strolls to energetic 30–45 minute walks, or longer if your dog needs extra exercise. Playtime — fetch, tug, running, and interactive games to keep your dog engaged. Swimming — perfect for high-energy dogs. Training reinforcement — I can continue your current training routines or incorporate my own knowledge in positive reinforcement, leash manners, and enrichment. Mental enrichment and cuddles — puzzle toys, treat games, or simply spending quality time for calmer or senior dogs. I adjust every activity to fit your dog’s energy level, breed, and personality — whether it’s a young, playful pup or a senior dog who prefers gentle interaction. Every pet gets love, attention, and a safe, fun experience while you’re away!

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Marion — a lifelong animal lover, former veterinary assistant, and proud dog mom to a German Shepherd I’ve trained myself, Luther. I’ve worked 2+ years in a local pet store specializing in dog and cat nutrition, behavior, and wellness — helping owners find the right food, harnesses, and toys for every personality (from strong chewers to cuddly couch potatoes). I also spent 2 summers assisting in a veterinary clinic, giving me a calm, confident approach to pets with medical needs or anxiety. Whether your dog pulls, barks, or just needs a gentle hand, I’ll make sure they feel safe, engaged, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like my own. Specialties: puppies, large breeds, reactivity, leash training, and senior care among others. Let’s make sure your pets are happy and stress-free while you’re away! 🐾💛 PS: I know how stressful it can be to find someone you trust — I’ll keep you updated with daily photos and notes so you always know your pet is in good hands.
Reviews
Marion did a great job watching our house and pets. They had a great time and we get regular updates. Highly recommend!
Marion was great! She was super understanding with our anxious dog and we had a successful solo walk. Looking forward to working with her again.
Marion is a great fit for walking our Labrador! We are very grateful for Marion’s kind and calm demeanor towards our big, energetic pup! Thanks, Marion!
Marion was a fantastic sitter! I had a last minute work trip come up, and I am so thankful that she was able to make it work. She communicated very well with me on timing, and provided updates and pictures throughout her stay. My dog Winnie had a great time while I was away, and I would highly recommend Marion to anyone looking for a sitter!
