Buster is extremely afraid of thunderstorm's. Marijke sat on the floor and in his kennel petting him. This gave him great comfort. She watered all my plants and even took care of the three cats. It was like having family take care of our fur babies. I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worrying. The dogs even tried to get into her car when she was leaving. Dogs were more interested in Marijke than us when we came home. She brought our mail and paper in every day. This is our first time using Rover. I am looking forward to having more vacation time now that I know Marijke.

Dear Rover, Marijke Spilman has been my dog sitter for over 5 years. I would have no hesitation to trust her with my 2 dogs at any time or place. I have called her "the Dog Whisperer "2". She has taught me so much about how to train and care for my dogs than any professional trainer. She is very loving and caring about all dogs and she definately understands them. I would rate her A+.
