Pet care experience

Lots of puppy love to give!

When my sweet Sophie Dog of 14 years passed, I was heartbroken. Since then, I've helped family members with their pets. I'm an animal lover! Dogs, cats, cows...anyway, I have so much love to give to your dog. I've been a pet owner since 1975.

Joey had so much fun! Marilyn gave Joey tons of attention - which she loves! I definitely recommend her as a sitter!

Marilyn provides an excellent experience for my dog; the next best spot after home.

Marilyn was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Kiwi, during an overnight stay! She took such great care of Kiwi and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be using Marilyn again for future dog-sitting needs. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️

Willy loved Marilyn, she took such good care of him while we were away, she was great at communicating with us and kept us very updated with Willy through pictures and messages.

Marilyn was a fantastic dog sitter, and I'm so happy we've already got her booked for another upcoming weekend away! At our meet and greet, our Zephyr was comfortable with Marilyn right away, and she clearly settled in and made herself at home while we were gone. Marilyn sent us plenty of updates and photos, and I could tell our pup was having the best time ever! Marilyn cared for Zeph probably better than we do! At the risk of this review contributing to making Marilyn so popular that we won't be able to book her again, I'll she's easily one of the best dog sitters we've ever had, and I can't recommend her more highly!
