Dogs over 1 year old

Availability

My main love is cats. I adopted my cat Toby (the orange cat with the bright eyes in my photos) in 2025. He is almost 2 years old! My family currently has two almost 8 year old sweeties that I’ve helped raise since they were kittens. Playing with them is the best and I love to help them get their hunting energy out to keep them calm and relaxed for you! Cats are my main focus, but dogs, birds, and fish are all a possibility for me! I would love to care for your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently a full time student with pet sitting as my main job right now so I basically have full availability to care for your furry friends! I have plenty of daily availability to drop in whenever you need me for meals, clean ups, or potty breaks.

Information Marlee R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs any special attention or special activities. I love to work with you and your pet to make sure they have a good time while you’re away and hopefully give you one less thing to worry about.

A typical day

I will play with your pets as much as they’d like. Most cats I watch mostly prefer to sit and chill and get lots of pets and that’s both fun and easy. If a pet needs to play more I love to play with the various toys you already have and keep them entertained!

Specializes in cats!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Marlee and I specialize in caring for cats. I have been a cat owner for over 20 years and have experience with cats of all ages, from 3/4 months to 17 years old. I also have some newer experience with dog sitting including feeding, playing, and potty breaks when necessary. In the past I have also watched parakeets, watered plants, took in the mail, and cleaned, just general house sitting things you may need.

Marlee is fantastic. I have 3 cats, one who requires extra attention. I was away for 4 days. She went above and beyond. Nothing fazed her. She clearly loves cats, and my cats loved her! I will be booking Marlee again.

Marlee was great. Always showed up within the window of time we needed 2x a day and took good care of our two kitties. Will book again!
