Our pup took to Marilyn quickly and was bonded to her side. Her space was great for inside relaxing and outside play. She administered his meds on schedule and really cared about his comfort.

Marilyn shared updates and was super helpful when our anxious dog was nervous while we were gone. She was able to problem solve situations to make her more comfortable and keep her safe.

Marilyn is Sophia's number one sitter! She gets excited when we start to pack her travel bag because she knows she's going to see Marilyn. Given that Sophia isn't the most social, this was incredible for us to see. She absolutely has no hesitancy walking into her home and making herself at home. On top of that, Marilyn continues to practice her tricks with her which has really strengthened their bond. It's great to see how comfortable she is going to visit her.

Marilyn is a very thoughtful and considerate sitter. She took time to learn our dog's routine and habits, and stuck with them. If anyone is nervous about boarding their dog for the first time, go to Marilyn. You will be immediately at ease!

Marilyn was so kind and playful with our dog, sophia. She continued giving her treats and practicing her tricks with her while we were gone. We could tell that sophia had a fun time and was very comfortable. She also has a great backyard which Sophia loved!!!

Schedule

Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate long stays (four days or less) but fortunate to work from home on some days so your Four-Legged friend will have company most of the day. They might even get sick of me! ;)

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a pretty good sized backyard! The whole backyard is fenced. So he/she can roam around, sunbathe or even play catch! The neighborhood is also safe with other dog walkers.

A typical day

Happy to take your paw friend on long walks, trips to the parks, etc! Or if they like to just lay around, that’s OK too! I want them to feel comfortable & safe. And most importantly, like they are at home. With that said, if you let them roam free in the house, I will too. If you keep them in a kennel when you leave, I will too. Again, want to do what YOU do so they feel comfortable and not in a scary place! I am also happy to give you daily updates and pictures. So wherever you are, you have peace of mind!
