About Marion

My speciality is caring for your pets with visits to your home in the pets' own environment where they're most comfortable. I don't provide any care in my own home. I provide limited nights pet and house sitting, but do ask me about more than 2 nights, or day time. I will travel to council areas of Stonnington, Ports, Glen Eira, Bayside and Melbourne City as first preferences, or near to. Please ask for anywhere else. I have decades of pet experience, detailed below, and a current Australian police check.

Services:

Home drop in visits for pets up to 3 pets (feeding, cleaning, medication, playing/ basic training 30 min minimum) - 1 visit $30, 2 visits per day $55
Dog walking - 1 dog $30 for 30 mins, $55 for 60 mins. $10 for each extra dog.
Overnight pet sitting - preferably only
2-3 consecutive nights (ask about more) $99 per night including walks and all care needed.
Negotiation on price for combined services is possible. Please contact me.

Over my lifetime I have had all types of pets and various animal work experiences. I've cared for pets from gold fish and finches to large dogs to sheep and cows. I believe our pets are precious family members, we can get so much back from them and have unique bonds with our fur, feather, and scale babies. I am particularly drawn to rescue and special needs pets, and any animal from purebred show champion to stray deserves compassion.

I have previously worked in Vet research and can give meds by mouth and injections with confidence and skill. If your pet needs any unusual minor grooming we can discuss that too

Clear information about pet requirements and any "funny little ways" will really help me to do the best for your pet and for you. Ask me or check with Mad Paws for over 3 pets per home.

Currently I have rescue cats (or I'm their slave) and volunteer with a cat shelter. I have previously volunteered with a dog shelter too.
I have a biomedical degree which helps a lot for understanding animal health and behaviour....
