I love being outdoors with dogs

Pet care experience

I have worked at a dog daycare for the past five years. I absolutely adore dogs. My life is centered around my own dogs. I'm working towards becoming a certified professional dog trainer. My favorite past time is going out on hikes with my own dogs. I'm very detail oriented and would provide the highest care for a client's dog(s). I would treat your dog like one of my own. This entails feeding at regular times. I would make time for walks or dog park. I have numerous enriching toys that are perfect for mental stimulation. If there are certain behaviors or tricks your dog know I would be more than happy to do a little training. I live in a two bedroom home with my husband who would assist with dog care when I'm not around. Dogs are allowed free roam of the house. The bottom line is I love spending time with dogs and getting to know them as individuals.

Marilyn is wonderful. One of our dogs is scared of a lot of people, but Marilyn’s experience working with dogs pairs perfectly and our dogs love her. Our home is always well cared for and Marilyn’s communication is great. We highly recommend her.

Marilyn is absolutely wonderful. Trustworthy and provided daily updates. She focused on the well-being of our pets that are usually stressed by our absence. She was able to connect with our very wary Winston so he didn't spend all of his time hiding in his crate and ate for her. We hope she'll be available for our next trip, as we would certainly rebook with her.

Marilyn is responsive and easy to work with regarding getting something booked. She's super patient with our shy and wary pup too. Her experience working with dogs gives us great peace of mind.

Marilyn is wonderful. Our dog was happy and healthy upon return. She even got to enjoy the company of Marilyn's own dogs! And I was comforted throughout the stay with beautiful pictures! Meeting Marilyn was a relief from all the stress of choosing/finding a pet sitter.

Information Marilyn G. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know how your dog does around other dogs. If your dog is anxious without you. It would be helpful to know your dog's usual routine. I want to know what your dogs favorite things to do are and if anything makes them uncomfortable (like lightning). I would want to know if a dog has any allergies. If they are not eating could they be enticed. I do not have any breed preferences but would want to know more about their temperament and energy level.

A typical day

There are numerous trails near my house to enjoy walks or longer hikes. There are plenty of fun toys to play with alongside my own dogs. I enjoy training and would gladly work on behaviors if wanted.
