I'll step in while you step out!

Pet care experience

With many years experience caring for dogs (and cats) at home, and at no-kill animal shelters, from infant to geriatric animals, I am able to step in and fill your shoes while you're away. Your pets will be treated as if they are my own. I am adept at administering medications and first aid, nursing infants, keeping to feeding and exercise schedules, cleaning up any accidents, and ensuring their happiness. They will want for nothing!

Marilee was great. I couldn't recommend her any higher.

Marilee did a great job of taking care of our dog that was boarded at her house for a few days. She sent us several photos and texted us each day to let us know that everything was ok with our dog. We would like to board our dog at her house in the future and recommend her to others.

Technically, Marilee watched my cats as my dog passed away before my trip. She was very sympathetic to my loss, took great care of my cats, and my house was spotless when I returned from my vacation. I would gladly use her services again.

Marilee came to our from 10/9/16 to 10/14/16, She did an excellent job with our four (4) family pets we left in her care. Upon our return we found our home in the same condition we left it, plus there were no pet deposits in the yard! We would very highly recommend Marilee to house and pet sit.

Information Marilee L. would like to know about your pet

I firmly believe "It's not the breed, but the training" so any breed is fine with me. Aggressive dogs will be cared for in your home. Non-aggressive dogs may stay at mine. If staying at my house, your pet must be dog, cat, and people friendly. Please advise me of any medications, home remedies or specialized feeding instructions your pet may need while you are away.

A typical day

Although I have not been officially certified in animal first-aid and CPR I have been around animals in need quite often and can administer first-aid, fix and treat minor issues before they become major issues. They will be treated like family and receive the same loving attention I've always given my own pets.
