Responsible med student, loves pets
Pet care experience
My family has had a dog since I was 10 and I have taken care of several pets for neighbors and friends, from elderly cats to rambunctious puppies! I am currently in medical school and am looking to make some money to help finance my education. I have experience with house sitting, including feeding, changing litter boxes, and walking pets. I especially love little dogs, and I am able to handle their higher energies!
Reviews
We met Marilyn while we were volunteering at our neighborhood election site. She was, by far, the youngest volunteer in the group and we were immediately charmed by her. She is warm and friendly, patient, calm, and bright. After spending 15 hours together, we knew we could trust her to be the first to take care of our puppy, Trip. Prior to dogsitting, Marilyn came to meet Trip and get instructions and, after some initial trepidation,Trip hadn’t had much experience with strangers, they hit it off. We went out of town with confidence that our dog and our house were in good hands. While we were away, we had frequent updates. Marilyn even knocked at the neighbor's door when Trip sat staring longingly at the house where his best friend lives, and made sure that Trip had a play date. Trip was lucky to be able to stay with Marilyn several more times before she departed for medical school. We all miss her and can assure you without doubt that your pet will be in the best hands if you leave them with Marilyn Fisher.
Marilyn has cared for our cats over a two year time; Some with her brother as well. She is gentle and kind with animals and responsible in feeding and care of bowls and boxes; Completes any house or plant chores as well when asked. We have known Marilyn for many years and you will find her both a delightful person as well as trustworthy and competent in all tasks.
Marilyn came to me highly recommended by a good friend. My friend has 2 VERY pampered and indulged cats. I knew if Marilyn could fill the task of caring for those cats, she could certainly care for my more low-key cats! Marilyn came for a chat and to meet my cats. I found her to be personable, easy to communicate with, and attentive. We had recently had some sod laid, and she agreed to water it twice a day (no small job!). While we were away, Marilyn texted and sent some photos to show the cats were happy and eating. I often describe them as "socially awkward", but they were out and about with Marilyn in attendance. When we returned home, we found the cats calm, happy, well-fed, and nonstressed. The litter boxes were clean and the surrounding areas were swept up and neat. On top of all that, the sod was green and growing! We were very happy to have Marilyn's help a number of times. Then she moved out of state.....sad for us!

Availability
My medical school classes usually end in the early afternoon, so I can stop by to feed or walk your pets in the late afternoon or evening! If more than one walk or feeding is needed, I can also come over before class. I am able to house-sit overnight on the weekends.
