Pet care experience

Reviews
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.
Marilyn has very well taken care of our puppy while we were gone on vacation. She updates frequently with pictures and videos. We will be happy to use her service in future again. I would recommend her service to anyone.
We had never left our senior pup with anybody but family before. Out of necessity we searched Rover to find someone who could care for Milton in an environment that was calm, quiet and safe. Marilyn was the perfect fit. She is kind and gentle and her home is cozy and comfortable. She went above and beyond to ensure that our Milton ate well and was completely cared for. We are so incredibly grateful to have found such a lovely human.
Marilyn took great care of our old girl who needs lots of care. Our dog was well feed and happy. We were so impressed with the care that we are using Marilyn again.

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.
