I’m known as the Dog Whisperer 😊

Pet care experience

I love animals and have owned and cared for dogs and cats. I would love to love your dog in my home. It’s a safe place.

Marilyn took such great care of our pup Hurley! She sent lots of pics and gave him lots of love and attention. Highly recommend Marilyn!!

Going off my prior review, she makes my dog literally smile from ear to ear, dance around her, and look lovingly at the camera. Need I say more? Use her services!!!!!

I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️

Marilyn was AMAZING. She sent us so many wonderful pictures of all the fun things her and our dog did together. We could tell our dog was completely comfortable with her and had a great week. We could not be happier with our experience!
