“Mellie absolutely loves the time she spends at Marilyn’s! From running around with the other dogs, to going down the slide in the backyard and playing in the kiddie pool to snuggles with Marilyn’s adorable kiddos, there never seems to be a dull moment and Mellie always comes home happy and utterly exhausted. Marilyn is a joy to communicate with- she is super quick to respond, super attentive to all of Mellie’s allergy and separation anxiety needs, and makes sure to keep me updated with photos and videos, whether Mellie is there just for the day for doggy daycare or for a longer stay. I am so grateful to Marilyn and her family for the love they have shown to me and Mellie and we will definitely continue booking with them in the future!!”
