Marielle

Hi everyone! 👋🏼

I am Marielle. Hailing from the UK, I am a 29 year old creative (screenwriter and actress) now living in the beautiful De Pijp neighbourhood of Amsterdam with my husband, Sam. There are many pet-friendly areas nearby including the wonderful Sarphatipark. 🍃

I have owned/fostered rescue dogs for as long as I can remember - from whippets to huskys, collies to staffies, and just about everything in between! My beloved family dog is a collie/whippet cross so I'm used to those that need a little more exercise too. 🐾

I have been a dogwalker/pet sitter for almost a decade and I have also done extensive charity work with animal based organisations in South Africa, Botswana, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam to name a few! 🐆

In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience caring for cats and kittens. Most recently we fostered a mother and 5 newborn kittens who after 2 months of love, care and cuddles have now all found their forever homes. 🐱

I know it can be daunting to leave your pet with a stranger but rest assured, I will look after them as if they were my own. I genuinely love animals and you can expect lots of updates and photos of our time together to put your mind at ease. I can do anything from long runs to short strolls, snuggles and smothering affection to respectful distance, treat-based training to simple lead practise - just let me know what you need. 🤗

When it comes to pet sitting in your home, I understand the trust it takes letting someone into your space. I am clean, tidy and respectful. I promise that other than a very happy pup or cat, you won't know I've been there! 🏡

Due to the freelance nature of my work, I can be flexible with days and timings. I look forward to meeting you!
