About: From an early age, I have shared my life with animals, learning the importance of respect, care, and love for them. With over 18 years of personal experience, I have cared for my own pets from puppyhood, providing them with attention, basic training, and the affection every dog needs to feel safe and happy. My husband also has lifelong experience caring for pets, and together we deeply understand the special bond that owners have with their dogs. We know they’re not just pets, they’re family. That’s why we treat every dog with the same dedication and love we would give to our own. We recognize that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a calm, mature dog needing a quiet and secure environment. We adapt to provide personalized care, ensuring your dog feels loved, protected, and well-attended during every visit or walk. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is in caring, experienced, and responsible hands. With us, your dog will always receive the same love and respect you give them at home. My husband and I make a dedicated, passionate pet care team, ensuring that every dog receives consistent and loving attention. I am available throughout the day, providing attentive, personalized care, while my husband joins me in the afternoons and on weekends. This flexibility allows us to offer constant companionship, fun walks, and a safe, loving environment for your dog. Together, we bring dedication, experience, and affection to make every pet feel special and happy. Safety and well being are our top priorities for every dog. In our home, we provide a warm, secure, and hazard free environment where pets can explore, play, and relax under constant supervision. We follow each owner’s recommended routines, respecting their specific rules and needs. Every dog has access to fresh water, a cozy resting space, and engaging activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for wonderful dogs that now live with my family, giving me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Every pet we care for is treated with the same love and attention, making them feel like part of our family.

“Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!”

About: My husband and I have cared for our family pets since we were kids. From shih-tzu to golden retrievers to labradors. We know all dogs have very different needs. Although we currently do not have any pets, we’re grateful for all that our fur babies have taught us over the years. They’ve taught us patience, love and kindness. We’ve also learned how to train dogs. Occasionally we’ve looked after our family dogs so we understand the great sense of responsibility. At the same time it brings a great sense of joy to spend time with them. My husband and I love the outdoors. So frequent walks, hikes, or just sitting outside in the backyard is very enjoyable for us. We understand how important these fur babies are to you and how they are not just pets but more so family. Their proper care is really important to us. We look forward to meeting them! Our schedule is very convenient. My husband and I work Monday through Friday but he works from home so frequent potty breaks is not an issue. I work 5 min away and I come home during lunch so your dog would have a lot of attention during the week ☺️ On the weekends and weekday evenings they would have our full attention to play with them or take them on walks. Drop off times would have to be from anytime between 7:00 am- 8:30 am or in the evening from 5:30 pm- 10:00 pm. Weekends could be any time between 7:00 am-10:00 pm. We’re very flexible though so if you need another specific time we can work something out. We do not have a fenced backyard so please bring a leash. Please also bring your pet’s crate in case we need to step out shortly. However your pets will be free to roam anywhere around the house when we’re home. Please bring any treats, toys, food, medication, or blankets for your pets. As well as a bed for them. You do not need to bring their food bowls we have extras.

“Erica was a great host, very responsive on text. Her house is very nice with a great fenced backyard to run around. Her two dogs got along with Ace very quickly.”


“Stephanie and Bridget were so awesome!! Mabel had a great time and came back so happy and tired (a tired puppy is a happy puppy in my book)! I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for friendly and responsible sitters:) 10/10❤️”

My job is very flexible and I can walk a dog every 1-2 hours if need be. I have 2 cats. They are both friendly! If your dog/cat is friendly as well that would be perfect! If not, I could separate into different rooms. You are welcome to have a meet and greet to see if our pets get along! I am always available to comfort high anxiety pets as I will be home most of the time due to my remote job.
