This is not my first visit to Marilyn’s as my dog has stayed with her before. When I dropped her off this time, Maddie ran right to Marilyn’s husband, wagging her tail so hard I thought it she was going to take flight! Maddie loves staying with them. I think she sees it as visiting family! I have complete confidence in Marilyn and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for her to stay when needed. She is a super nice person too. I would give her 10 stars if I could!
