Pet care experience

Very flexible schedule!!

I have two dogs of my own, Kirby 3 years old (mix of we aren't sure) and Jerry 8 years old (Yorkshire terrier) and I have many foster dogs in and out of my home as I work with a local rescue to save dogs from the shelter and unwanted homes. People say I'm an "animal person" because I like all animals...even snakes :) I have a very flexible schedule and am available most times of the day and each day of the week. I usually prefer dogs to have a harness rather than a collar just for safety of the pet. I will enjoy getting to know the pets in my community! Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the care I can provide.

Marilyn was fantastic! We had a last-minute emergency change our holiday plans, and Marilyn was so flexible to help us out in a difficult situation! She was responsive, and our babies seemed to open up to her pretty quickly (which is rare).

Marilyn is very kind and easy to work with. She gave frequent updates. When our pup hurt himself she took such great care of him, and even took him to our vet herself. We were so grateful for her wonderful care.

Marilyn sent updates, photos and videos daily of Halo. She took good care of Halo after her recent surgery and was able to give Halo her medication. Thanks for taking great care of Halo!

We highly recommend Marilyn for your fur babies care. Safe spacious yard with private fencing . My boys are comfortable and feel right at home. She provides excellent communication throughout the stay and sent regular updates and photos, which always brought us joy to see the boys having such an awesome stay. She is kind and very professional and I highly recommend as a returning and appreciative customer.

Marilyn took good care of my puppy. She sent pictures and videos about the puppy to me every day. My puppy had wonderful time with the kids and other dogs. I will select Marilyn to take care of my puppy again if I will travel in the future. Thank you, Marilyn! I am very appreciative your help!
