Snuggles for fur babies!

Pet care experience

My family and friends have trusted me with their fur babies for over 20 years. I have medical experience and have had a dog that developed diabetes at 10 years old, that I cared for. I will care for your senior pup or youngster! I have owned small and large dogs, and cats as well.

Pi and Nico seem to just love Marilyn! She was so good to send updates and pics of the pups, and she took extra care of Nico when she had an upset tummy! This is our second time using Marilyn for house and pup sitting. I would definitely choose her again! Thanks much, Marilyn!

Marilyn is a fantastic pet sitter—friendly, very accommodating with last-minute changes, and clearly cares a lot for the animals in her care. She took great care of our pup and we definitely recommend her services!
