Highlights
Pet care experience
Home Full-Time with a Fenced Yard
What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages and with different energy levels. I currently have two Siberian Huskies, ages 9 and 7, so I understand the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention that dogs need throughout their lives. I also have experience with puppies, including helping with routines, play, basic training, positive reinforcement, and keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. At the same time, caring for my older dogs has given me experience with senior dogs and understanding that they may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more individualized care. I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park or beach when appropriate. I believe dogs thrive when they receive not only love and attention, but also exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I’m always willing to learn and follow their owner’s instructions to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. 🐾❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own. Before each stay or visit, I like to learn about their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, and any special instructions from their owner. In my client’s home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and exercise based on their energy level and comfort. I’m also respectful of their home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and exercise. Having two Huskies of my own, ages 9 and 7, I’m comfortable with both high-energy dogs and dogs who may prefer a slower pace. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owner is away. 🐾❤️
Ratings and reviews
Marilu is one of the most caring, loving and attentive people I know when it comes to animals. She is very patient and responsible. I would absolutely trust her with any pet because I know she would treat them as her own and would make sure the animals feel safe.
Marilu has taken care of my 2 husky mixes multiple times. She has been amazing. Dependable, trustworthy, great communication, sends updates and pictures. My dogs forget about me as soon as they see her. They love her so much and get excited as soon as they see her. I will continue using her to care for my babies, she truly treats them like her own.

About Me 🐾 I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have two Siberian Huskies of my own, ages 9 and 7, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs. I’ve been dog sitting for about two years and truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs. I don’t have a breed preference—I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! I’m available mornings and evenings, and I love keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing at the dog park, hiking, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I believe dogs deserve plenty of enrichment and time outside rather than being home alone all day. Having high-energy Huskies has also taught me a lot about patience, exercise, play, and keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I’m always willing to learn more and make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the same care and attention I give my own! 🐶❤️

- Before your pet’s stay, I’d love to know anything important that will help me provide the best care possible. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, behavioral quirks, fears or triggers, exercise needs, and how they interact with other dogs and people. Please also let me know about any special instructions, favorite toys or activities, and anything that helps your pet feel comfortable and at home. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their stay safe, happy, and stress-free! 🐾❤️
