Meet Fred and Marianne!

Fred Mann is originally from Downingtown, Penn., and has been living in North Wilmington for over a decade. After working for 26 years as a contractor, back problems forced him to change careers. Wanting to do something that he enjoyed while continuing to work with his hands, Fred decided to pursue a vocation that spoke to his passion for animals. Fred has more than 30 years of experience owning and caring for all types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and fish.

"This is the best decision I ever made; I truly love my work. I get so much joy when I go to a customer's home, open the door, and there is a beautiful dog excited to go on a walk with me. It's incredible!" said Fred.

Fred is a member of Pet Sitter Associates, LLC, and is bonded, licensed, insured and Pet First Aid Certified.
