I am Marlon and I am currently a software engineer for my day job. Originally I began pet sitting when I looked after my friend’s cat during Christmas, then I did pet sitting through a freelance agency. Now I am doing it independently.
​
I am a long term supporter of animal welfare organisations such as Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Animal SOS Sri Lanka and the Soi Dog Foundation. I have previously volunteered at an animal sanctuary where I looked after the cats 🐱 and dogs 🐶 there. Most of these were abandoned and stray animals who were rescued from the street, so I have experience with nervous animals.

You can see my encounters with various animals on Instagram: wijm02.

Location

I split my time between North London (near Seven Sisters station) and West London (near Hanger Lane station). My day job is near King’s Cross. Most of my bookings will be from these areas, but I do take on bookings from other parts of London too.
