Animals Marly cares for
From snakes to schnauzers
Exotic pets are Marly's specialty, but she's comfortable with a wide range of animals. Here are a few of the things she keeps in mind for each.
Specialty
Snakes
Snakes rely on their enclosure for body heat, so the warm and cool sides are checked every visit. Feeding follows your schedule exactly.
Specialty
Lizards
Many lizards need UVB light to use calcium. Lights, basking temperatures and humidity are checked against your notes.
Specialty
Rodents
Rats, mice, hamsters and gerbils have teeth that never stop growing, so chews and fresh food matter. Nocturnal pets get quiet visits.
Specialty
Odd pets
Tarantulas, frogs, hedgehogs or something else entirely. If it lives in your home, Marly wants to meet it.
Dogs
Sniffing is exercise for the brain. A slow, curious walk can tire a dog out as much as a fast one.
Cats
Cats sleep 12 to 16 hours a day, so a calm visit and a clean litter box matter more than a lot of fuss.
Guinea pigs & rabbits
Guinea pigs can't make their own vitamin C, and rabbits need hay all day. Fresh greens are part of every visit.
Birds & poultry
Cage covers go on and off at your usual times. Coops are opened in the morning, closed at dusk, and eggs collected.

Morning visit done! Spike's basking spot is right where you like it and he ate all his greens.
Gave Max his pill with breakfast, scooped the yard, and the rats got fresh bedding.
You're the best. Thank you!
About Marly
Hi, I'm Marly.
I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially the ones other sitters won't take on. Snakes, lizards, rats and the occasional toad are my favorites, and I'm just as happy walking your dog or scooping your cat's litter box. I treat your pets like my own and your home with respect.
This is where Marly's own story goes: how she got started, her background with exotic animals, and anything that helps clients feel at ease.
