I currently have three fur babies of my own: Gia and Grizzly, who are littermates, and Blondie, who I found the day before I moved into my current home — I'm convinced she was a housewarming gift from the universe. My household also includes my cousin and roommate Jackeline, whose cat Stormy keeps everyone on their toes, so yes... cats are absolutely welcome here too! ◡̈ Beyond my own babies, I'm an active foster for Heart of the Underdog, a Houston-based rescue nonprofit. I also volunteer at the Houston Humane Society, and throughout college I spent weekends walking dogs for Friends for Life, another Houston rescue. Caring for animals has been a constant thread throughout my adult life, not an occasional thing. I'm embedded in my East Downtown (EaDo) neighborhood and have been an informal go-to sitter for neighbors' dogs and cats for years. I'm the happiest version of myself when I'm surrounded by animals and helping them have a better quality of life. This isn't just a side gig for me, it's genuinely my happy place.

Notes et avis
Marylin took great care of my Slinky. She updated me every day and always let me know how things were going. She is thorough, kind, and clearly loves taking care of puppers. I really appreciated how considerate she was with her communication. I highly recommend her.
Marilyn took great care of our baby. She sent pictures and videos which made us feel at ease. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an extra hand with their fur babies.
Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.
Marilyn is the dog whisperer! Ever since I known her she has had so much love for animals. Dogs In particular is her specialty, the way that she treats her babygirl Bree is just heart warming to know someone could love a dog so unconditionally! She is the best with her and I’m sure she will do the same to those animals that she will take care of! She will treat them like if all of them are her Bree Bree! Def recommend her 100%, she will not disappoint!
Marilyn is an amazing dog sitter!! As a lover of fur babies, she is the perfect person to care after your pup! If need be, she will reassure you with picture/video updates that your dog is living his/her best life! I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Dates de la garde
I'm available throughout the week and genuinely love having pets around, the more the merrier. Outside of caring for my own three pups and any active fosters, I have a flexible, open schedule that makes it easy to give visiting pets real time and attention, not just check-ins. Weekends work great too. I'm not just fitting pet care in around a packed calendar, it's a priority, not an afterthought.

Sécurité, confiance et environnement
My dogs free-roam at home, and I'm experienced at managing a multi-dog household safely, including around food and toy guarding situations. My own pups range from 60–90 lbs, so large breeds are totally comfortable here and very welcome. Through fostering, I've worked with reactive dogs, puppies, and pregnant mamas...and I've even delivered a litter of puppies in my home. I've also done hands-on training and confidence-building work with fosters who needed extra patience and support. I'm very tuned in to dog body language and behavior. I pay attention to what a dog is telling me, and I adjust my approach based on what they actually need, not just what the routine calls for.
Animaux
Une journée type
It depends entirely on the dog or cat, and I love that. Some pups want to spend the afternoon cuddled on the couch watching TV, (totally valid), that's my vibe too. Others are built for long walks and come alive outside. Some love the dog park and want to socialize with everyone they meet. And some just need a good case of the zoomies, which in my house means full laps around the kitchen island until we're all worn out. I follow the pet's lead and make sure they're having fun in whatever way feels natural to them.
