Availability
I work from home, which means your cat isn't alone all day waiting for me to come back. Most sitters spend their day running drop in’s on other pets, but I only book with one client at a time to ensure my full attention. I'm there - as the same presence they're used to having around.

Safety, trust & environment
House Sitting: Cats thrive on routine. That's why I come to you. Your cat stays in their familiar environment with the same sunbeams, same scratching post, same schedule. Feeding times, playtime, litter box maintenance, all exactly as you do it. And you get peace of mind too. While you're away, I'll water your plants, grab your mail, and leave everything spotless. You'll return to a happy cat and a clean home. Camera Policy: I'm completely comfortable with common-area cameras - a lot of my clients use them. I just ask that any cameras are disclosed upfront. Transparency both ways is how trust works. Let's get started Tell me about your cat, your dates, and what peace of mind looks like for you. I'll take it from there. You should be able to enjoy your trip without checking your phone every hour. First time booking? Use code MM37284 at signup and get $20 off your first stay - my way of saying thanks for trusting me with your cat. Open to price negotiation for new long-term clients.
Information Marion M. would like to know about your pet
The more I know, the better I am. Before every stay, I'll ask about: ⁃ Favorite treats, toys, and what gets them playing ⁃ Their daily routine and the timing that matters ⁃ The words you use to communicate with them ⁃ Rooms or furniture that are off-limits ⁃ Diet - what, when, how much ⁃ Any allergies, injuries, or quirks I should know about ⁃ Anything that helps them feel safe This is how I build the environment that lets your cat feel like you never left.
A typical day
Every cat gets a different day because every cat needs a different day. But the structure is the same: Your routine, followed exactly. You’ll get check-ins at the times you want and photos that actually show you what's happening. And if anything changes, you hear from me before you have to ask.

Pet care experience
You know your cat better than anyone. You know their routine, their needs, what throws them off. And you know how hard it is to hand that over to someone you just met. Most sitters are fine. But "fine" isn't why you're still reading profiles. I pay attention to the things that actually matter to cats. I don't force affection on a cat who hasn't offered it. And I don't ignore a cat who's asking for it quietly. Extended trips - weeks, months - are my specialty. I’ve done them enough to know what most sitters get wrong on long stays. Certified in CPR & first aid by the American Red Cross. I've never had to use it. But if your cat eats something they shouldn't at 2am, I'm not Googling what to do - I already know. Your vet's number is in my phone before you leave. The nearest emergency clinic is mapped already too. In an emergency, your cat is my first priority.

Reviews
Marion was great with my shy cat & overconfident cat. I felt at ease while away knowing they were well cared for. She was able to pill my older cat & win his shyness over. She is an excellent cat sitter, very communicative.
Marion was wonderful! She sent lots of photos and updates every day while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly flexible when we needed to adjust our dates at the last minute. Our home was left very tidy, and we came back to a very happy cat. We’re so grateful for her care and would happily book with her again. Thank you, Marion!
Marion took terrific care of my shy Charlie....who warmed up to her quickly. She was communicative, self sufficient and left the house tidy. Bonus, sweet kitty updates!
Marion was wonderful, I would absolutely book her again! She seemed to really take joy in spending time with my kittens and sent me loads of pictures and detailed updates, which really made me feel secure while we were away. :)
