Pet care experience

I ❤️ making your fur babies day!

9 years of professional pet care, plus many years of owning my own pets, caring for pets of friends and volunteering with shelters. My best friend growing up was my dog Lobo that we got when I was 1 yr old. I grew up loving and caring for animals and caring for them became a natural thing to do for friends and then as a living. I started my professional per care journey in Brooklyn, NY working for Animal's Are Soul, then worked across the country in Florida, for DogSmith of the Emerand Coast and in Salt Lake City, Utah for Mixed Company Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. I moved up from just a dog walker with Mixed Company to Assistant Manager, hiring and training people. I recently spent 2 years as Assistant Manager of Bare Paws. We had many dogs with special needs, such as diabetic cats who needed insulin and dogs who's back legs no longer worked. Old and very young pups. It is my pleasure and joy to make your mutts and fuzzy butts day!

Safety, trust & environment

In a client's home, I always remove my shoes at the door, get the pup suited properly in harness and leash, put shoes back on and get them out and about. I always have poop bags and paw wipes handy. Before the walk I check for any specific notes that may change daily to ensure that no feeding, or medication is forgotten. I only feed and give medication as specified and after the walk. If crated when I arrive, I will leave crated after walk unless told not to. I try to leave a home untouched and as it was when I arrived. Making sure your pet is safe and has had sufficient exercise and play and relief. Leave fresh water. Take careful notes for the owner, with full description of walk, poo, pee, etc. Including photos. Leave home and Pet feeling safe and relaxed.

Marilyn was wonderful with my puppy! She was very accommodating with a last minute reservation and made sure to keep me updated on the status of all of their walks. Highly recommend booking with her.

I currently work in New York, Time's Square as a performer at RiseNY Museum part time and am pursuing a career in the arts, and my passion. With that I would like to combine my passion for animal care as a part time career to keep my life well rounded and grounded. It is my pleasure and joy to make your mutts and fuzzy butts day
