Marilyn has been wonderful to work with. She is so sweet and patient with my pup! He had a rough time adjusting to the new noises the first day but she didn’t give up on making him feel loved, safe, and at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Bonus: Her sweet pup is absolutely precious!

I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Marilyn. Bonnie my Dachshund had an extended stay while I was abroad and I knew she was in the safest hands. Marilyn's dedication and skill in looking after my dog was nothing short of amazing. Bonnie can be high maintenance and not the easiest to look after at times and needs extra care with her diet and health issues but Marilyn managed everything with exceptional patience, and skill with extensive knowledge on dog care and with the breed, and went above and beyond to ensure Bonnie was comfortable and happy. It was clear that Marilyn genuinely cares about dogs, as Bonnie was not only well-cared for but also thrived under their watchful eye. I also received regular updates showing how much fun she was having. I highly recommend Marilyn to anyone in need of a dependable and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you so much, Marliyn, for everything you did— Bonnie and I are incredibly grateful! P.S. Bonnie misses both you and Georgie terribly.

Marilyn is awesome! She took the best care of Mylo and made me feel at ease leaving him for a couple of days. I received photos, videos and updates which added to my level of comfort knowing he was in a warm and loving environment. He also had a great time playing with her friendly dog. I appreciate it all and will definitely book with her in the future!
