Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Favorite Human
I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.
Ratings and reviews
I would trust Marilyn C. with any pet, any day. She provides safe, loving care because she truly understands animals—rescues, seniors, anxious pets, and even the quirky ones. She’s cared for my pets with the same patience and gentleness she shows her own, and her calm presence makes even nervous animals feel secure. Marilyn is one of those rare people who notices the small things, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond without being asked. She’s responsible, kind, and genuinely invested in making both pets and owners feel supported. Anyone who chooses her is in excellent hands.

Schedule
As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free.
