Pet care experience

2 dogs and their mom

I share my home with two Australian Shepherds who are 7 years old, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I truly love animals. Big or small, energetic or calm, I bring a lot of patience and care to every interaction. I often look after friends’ dogs when they travel, and my dream is to retire on a farm surrounded by animals. Some of my best childhood memories are with my dogs: Spot, a pit boxer mix I adored, Fred, our shi tzu, and Leo, our Great Pyrenees. I have experience with both small and large breeds. At one point, my family had three dogs, two cats and even a bird, named kayak. My parents also ran a pet sitting service called The Housesitters, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I would be happy to take care of your dog with the same love, patience and reliability I offer my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs, that are used to others. They’re high energy but know when to chill. I can provide a crate if needed, I also have a wooded area to walk. I will take pictures I always feel like dog parents enjoy this and give treats if allowed. If the weather is poor or bad, I like to do mental stimulation games to.

Our 3 dogs get better care with Marilyn than at home. They are always so happy to go stay with her.
