Marianna

Hi! I’ve owned pets my whole life, both dogs and cats, and have raised over 7 kittens from birth. I currently have a 4 year old kitty named Bumpty who I can comfortably say is the love of my life. For the past 2 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking, and I’ve had over 16 clients across multiple platforms who have expressed that I go above and beyond, not only looking after their pets but also their homes. I adore animals, and would love nothing more than to look after yours and treat them like my own!

I communicate well with my clients and send lots of pictures of pets everyday to keep them updated! - I ask my client's preference about how many pictures they like to receive, and if they prefer minimal or lots of communication and updates.

I am flexible (car for visits and my own apartment for pet stays)

About my services, apartment, and availability:

My home:

I live independently in a small but spacious one bedroom apartment. It has a living room, kitchen, hallway, and separate bathroom and bedroom. I don’t have an enclosed fence around my property. I do have access to an outside carpark with grass.

CATS

Cat sitting at my home: i can only host 1 cat a time at my property. I have plenty of space for your cat, and a friend they can play with. Bumpty is super friendly and loves meeting other cats. She requires an introduction over a day, but by the second/third day she will be best friends with your cat. I have space for food and litter, and I can provide meals at the times of your choosing. Bumpty sleeps in the bathroom, so your cat can sleep wherever they wish.

Visits: can be anywhere between 15-30 mins long (or longer if requested). I will clean litter, top up food, clean up any messes, throw out all rubbish at the end of my visit, water any plants and do any home admin tasks you may need while you are gone. I can visit up to 2 times a day to check on your cats and give them some cuddles and playtime.

Staying at yours: I can look after up to any number of cats in your home for a maximum of 4 day stays. I will complete regular household maintenance tasks and leave the property exactly as you left it.

DOGS:

Visits: i can complete visits for any number of dogs. Visits can be anywhere between 15mins-30mins long (or longer if requested). I will clean any droppings, top up food, clean up any messes, throw out all rubbish at the end of my visit, water any plants and do any home admin tasks you may need while you are gone. I can visit up to 2 times a day to check on your dogs and give them some cuddles and playtime. I can offer a walk during my visit at an additional cost.

Dog sitting at yours: I can look after a maximum of 2 puppies-medium sized dogs at your home for a maximum of 4 day stays. I will leave the property exactly as you left it and will complete any admin house tasks you may need during your trip. I will also walk your dog during my stay once a day at an additional charge.

Dog sitting at my house: Due to the size of my one bedroom apartment, I am unable to host dogs at my apartment. The most I can host is 1 small (toilet trained) puppy. I don’t not have an enclosed fence around my property. I do have access to an outside carpark with grass. I also have a cat so if this will be an issue with your puppy please keep this in mind when booking me. Bumpty sleeps in the bathroom but your pup can sleep wherever they wish, in a crate or freely.

Walking: I can walk dogs at an additional charge. I live right next to a small park, and also can travel to all nations. I can walk your dog from 15-45mins based on your request.

General:

I can provide pets with basic oral medications.

I can look after both cats and dogs at your property (up to 2 small dogs and 2 cats at a time)

I work 3 days a week part time from between 2-7pm (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). I am home/available every other time. I may potentially have a casual shift somewhere else on a weekend but I will disclose this at the time of the booking/enquiry. I have lots of availability on holidays/ long weekends and during random points throughout the year so please don’t hesitate to enquire if you are interested. I will be transparent and honest if I cannot spend the required amount of time you need me to with your pet.
