SERVING LAP DOGS FOR OVER 20 YEARS!

About Me 🐾 I’ve always had dogs as part of my family and truly believe they bring so much love, happiness, and companionship into our lives. 🐾 I understand that pets are more than just animals — they are family. When you leave your pet in my care, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are being treated with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. ❤️ I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I love giving dogs attention, playing with them, taking walks, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐕 Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and tailored needs, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet feel most at home. My goal is simple: to give your pets lots of love and attention while giving you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. 🐶❤️ I would be honored to care for your furry family members and treat them like they are my own! 🏠

Hi, I am a friend of Dee for many years now. Dee is a very kind and caring person. I have been around Dee when she was interacting with her dogs. She knows her dogs temperaments and needs and always seeking the best care for them. Dee would care for anyone dogs with care and love. They would be so lucky to have a wonderful person like Dee take care of their pet.

I was able to travel with zero worry. I cameyhome to a happy, relaxed, and wonderfully tired pup! I couldn't ask for a better or more reliable sitter. If you want top tier care for your furry best friend, look no further. Highly, highly recommend Marilyn (Dee).

5/5 Stars – The Absolute Best Home Away From Home! ​If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Finding someone you truly trust with your dog is so tough, but Marilyn (Dee) has been an absolute blessing. Would recommend 👌

I highly recommend Marilyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to take care of their pets. We feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Marilyn is a true dog lover, and it shows in the way she treats our girls. They are always happy to see her, and we know they are getting plenty of attention, affection, and great care while they are with her. It makes traveling much easier knowing we don’t have to worry about them while we’re away. We trust Marilyn completely with our dogs and wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with her anytime. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like part of the family.

Marilyn is my “go-to” sitter anytime I’m traveling and can’t take my dogs with me. She truly loves my dogs, and they absolutely love her! Whether she comes to my house to care for them or I drop them off at hers with all their essentials—toys, chewy bones, food, treats, and even their little life jackets—I never have to worry. I know they will be loved, spoiled, kept safe, and cared for just as I would care for them myself. That kind of peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from your pets. I trust Marilyn completely with my girls and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely wonderful with dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding at my house: We are in a safe gated community. Our back yard is completely fenced in, plenty of space to run, or sit in the shade overlooking a lake. Quiet Cul-de sac street, and plenty of common grounds for walking pets.

A typical day

If you have a lap dog thats perfect! I am more then happy to accommodate snuggle time, or I am happy to entertain with toys or an energetic type for lots of exercise.

Any special requests, medication details will be discussed ahead, temperament issues will also be addressed beforehand. I do require a quick meet and greet before decision in scheduling final booking, this can be at a public location if preferred, at that time I would be happy to create a file specifically for your furry companion, to keep on record for future reference. Questionnaire: up to date on vaccines/flea and tick concerns friendly with other dogs? medical conditions or allergies? food/treat preferences? clear instructions on meal time portions food aggression or other issues such as triggers, anxiety, timid behaviors.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
