Information Marilyn G. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small dogs up to approx 25 pounds as I need to be able to pick them up if needed And I really love senior dogs. Unfortunately I’m not able to care for dogs that are high energy as I wouldn’t be able to provide them with the stimulation/exercise they need. Tell me ahead of time if your dog has any medication/dietary requirements, is housetrained, and has any food/toy aggression issues, since they’ll be sharing space with my pup. I’m used to administering medications and can ensure there is no conflict over food if I I know ahead of time.

A typical day

With my own pet I spend time in the backyard while he roams around looking for squirrels or lying in the sun. As well we go for at least two to three walks a day each one averaging about 30 - 45 minutes subject to the weather. I’m in a mature residential neighbourhood with a park nearby. I have dog toys for inside play. Pets can relax on sofa with me.

Marilyn was amazing! She was attentive to my 15+ year old shihtzu, Jersey, while I was away at my daughter’s wedding. I was updated regularly with pictures and short messages throughout Jersey’s stay with her which put my mind at ease and allowed me to fully enjoy the festivities. Many thanks, Marilyn!

Rocky's stay with Marilyn couldn't have gone better. She was attentive and loving towards him, and warm and communicative with me. She made sure she knew everything about Rocky's routine beforehand, which she clearly adhered to, and she added to that with extra activities and treats that I really appreciated. Marilyn kept me updated regularly with pictures and reports, which put my mind totally at ease. I would leave Rocky with Marilyn again without any hesitation.

Marilyn was terrific! She sent pics multiple times a day and also gave our little man homemade food - he is 18 and Marilyn understands how to care for senior dogs and she allowed him to sleep with her. We are lucky to have found Marilyn.

What an amazing experience for my family and senior dog DJ. It was his first time in his long life that he was staying with a non family member who he had just met. Marilyn gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling even before meeting her. DJ was welcomed and I was surprised to see how quickly he adapted to her and her environment. She kept in touch regularly, sent pics/videos, even did a bit of grooming. DJ enjoyed the home cooked meals and is now spoilt, lol. Will definitely be using her services again when possible. Thank you so much Marilyn.
