Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s familiar to them. When caring for pets in their home, I try to follow their established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention! 😊 As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is, so I am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

Information Marilyn M. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about a pet before caring for them so I can provide the best experience. It’s especially helpful to know about their personality, daily routine, energy level, favorite activities, any medical conditions, medications, dietary restrictions, fears, or anxiety triggers, etc! I also appreciate knowing any commands they respond to, how they interact with other people and animals, and what helps them feel most comfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

A typical day

Every pet has a different personality, so I like to tailor activities to what they enjoy most! Some enjoy going for walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and others genuinely enjoy spending quality time together indoors. Whatever it is, I’ll make sure pets stay engaged, active, and happy!

Your Pet’s New Best Friend! 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Marilyn, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two pups of my own ♥️ Because my dogs struggle with separation anxiety, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for your pet while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and I genuinely believe pets deserve love, attention, and care. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence around, I’m happy to follow their routine and your preferences. I work from home most of the time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day and allows me to be responsive and reliable. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of communication so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away 🐾
