Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life and have worked in dog rescue for 3 years doing foster care, screening and medical care and coordination. I have a home with a secure yard and will supervise your dog at all times. I will accept dogs that are 22 lbs and under and get along well with other dogs.

Our dog, Gibson, had a long weekend stay with Marialyn and it was a great experience all around. Marialyn was very communicative and easy to coordinate with for a meet and greet, dropoff, and pickup. We loved the photos and videos she shared with us while we were out of town and appreciated being able to relax on vacation knowing Gibson was in caring and experienced hands. Gibson had a great time staying with Marialyn!

One would be hard pressed to find a more loving, attentive, capable or reliable caregiver than Marialyn. Her kindness and love for dogs is evident in the time, energy and resources she has invested in the pets she has had over the years. Besides caring and providing the best for her own pets, Marialyn has found homes for hundreds of dogs through her work with a local rescue. Her patience, dedication and attention to detail to find just the right home for each one is remarkable. In addition, Marialyn would be the ideal choice to care for any pet who may have special needs or require medication. Anyone who entrusts their cherished family member to Marialyn can rest assured that they will be safe and happy in her most capable and loving hands.

Marialyn is a fantastic dog sitter. She regularly babysits my dogs and does a very good job. I strongly recommend her for your doggie family
