Safety, trust & environment

When taking care of your pet at your home I always make sure everything is fine at home and that your pet(s) are well. I always make sure to lock the doors on my way out.

Information Marilyn H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or anything I can help with. I am willing to learn and do tasks in order for your pet to feel safe and happy. Also let me know about your dogs/cats personality, whether they’re shy, aggressive, or energetic, please let me know ahead of time so I can know if they need their space or enjoy being petted! :)

A typical day

If I take your dog for a walk I will go to the nearest park I know or I would walk around the neighborhood. I can help your dog stay fin shape since I enjoy walking and jogging/running. If I take care of your cat(s) I will most definitely play with them and show them my love and attention with scratches or treats if allowed.

Pet care experience

I love dogs and cats! I love all types of dogs; big dogs and small dogs. I can help you exercise your dog since I love running/walking long distances. I’ve always wanted a dog since I was a kid so I can go on walks with the dog and play with them, so this is an opportunity where I can have a chance to do so with your dog! I also enjoy playing with my cat and giving her scratches underneath her chin. I cat’s name is Kiwi and I’ve had her for 2 years now. I’ve never had a dog before but I do know a lot about dogs and about their behavior. I can do easy tasks like walk your dog, feed your dog, clean after your dog, etc.

Marilyn was wonderful. She sent me pictures of my cat during every visit she made. She gave my cat plenty of attention and play time ❤️

I can’t put into words how grateful I am for Marilyn! She always does a fabulous job taking care of my cats and gives me thorough, detailed daily updates so that my mind is at ease while I’m traveling. This time she was also incredibly flexible with me when I got sick on what was supposed to be a long business trip. Keep being you, Marilyn!

Very friendly and accommodating. Even my skittish cat, who always hides, came out to say hello.
