Dependable, Loyal, And Safe Petcare

My husband, kids and I love dogs! We have had dogs our whole life. Our dog Rusty is a Coast Guard dog so is used to having friends stay over while Mark's Coast Guard members are away visiting family. We love animals. We are dependable, fit, and loyal and work as a team to care for your sweet one. My husband and I both work part - time from home and work as team for Rover. We have one dog! We LOVE animals and are available to walk, board, or come to your house and care for animals. If a pet stays, we will put our pup, Rusty in his cage at night for safety. We do have 2 small children who love animals! We have a very large back yard that is not fenced but is private. Our neighborhood has very little traffic so we will walk your dog often!

Absolutely exceeded my expectations. By miles. Flawless care for my babes and excellent communication. I was very comfortable leaving them in Marilyn and Mark's care, and would definitely do it again and again.

I was very worried about leaving my dog because heʼs getting older and I’m a helicopter parent, but Marilyn & Mark were both wonderful! They gave him undivided attention and he came home very happy! I will be begging them to sit Jake all the time now. Thank you!!

Marilyn was so communicative, sent us daily updates and photos, and really cared for our dog Theo! We ran into some challenges during her stay which she handled expertly and with so much care. We would book her over and over and highly recommend her.

We would love to know if your pet chews or what we can move to keep out of your pets way. We'd love to have your pet bed, chew toys, and / or anything with your scent on it to make your pet feel comfortable l. Balls are also welcome and nothing is too much. It is better to have everything on hand here for your pets comfort and relaxation.
