Pets

Experienced Shelter Volunteer

Pet care experience

Hello, I have always had pets in my life and have cared for others family pets in their homes for many years. For over 20 years I have volunteered at our local humane society where I have cared for a variety of dogs with their own unique personalities and traits. I studied to become and worked as a veterinary tech for more than 12 years before entering human healthcare. I am Pet First Aid and CPR certified.We currently have 2 sister rescue dogs Maggie and Molly from Alabama who are very sweet but for now I feel it would best for them for us not introduce new dogs into our house to stay but I would love to have the opportunity to care for your pets in their own home. I feel animals enrich our lives so much that they deserve to be treated with love and kindness!

Marilyn did a wonderful job taking care of our girl. We appreciate the great notes and know she was in very good hands! It made our trip more relaxing since we knew she was getting such special attention.
