Marian has her own agenda and prioritises her work on the internet above all else. She does not like to be contacted by phone to give updates on pets. She

We had the pleasure of having Marian look after our cats, Apollo and Smidi, while we were away for four weeks on an overseas trip, and we couldn’t be more

Marian was a brilliant carer for our two cats, even trying out varied diets to encourage them to eat more. She was totally reliable and very tidy. She didn't

During our 3 week holiday last year in France, Marian did a wonderful job in taking care of our 2 golden retrievers, Mali & Tong. My wife and I were afraid that the dogs would be depressed while we were gone, but Marian did an excellent job in caring for them, and they acted as if we weren’t gone at all. The dogs not only looked cheerful upon our return, but they were well groomed, and were well exercised, since she mentioned she took them running with her during her daily jog. I wouldn’t hesitate in the least to recommend Marian to any pet owner who might be anxious about her ability to harmonize with the pet in question. She seems to have a great affinity to get along with the most challenging characters among pets. And the fact that she clearly loves pets, was the main reason we had no qualms about hiring her. Yours truly, Ross & Kimiko

Why I want to house sit

Writing is a lonely business and does require solitude. Therefore, I prefer to be by myself to focus on my production, but with the company of lovely pets and plants which require care, attention, and provide me with the necessary rhythms
