Pet care experience

Dog lover.

Hello my name is Marilyn I have lots of experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I have, in the past, welcomed friends and families dogs into my home for care. If you need boarding I will welcome your fur baby into my home and care for them as if they were my own, making sure they get lots of love as well as daily exercise. If they require frequent snuggles I am happy to provide them. I am also happy to walk your pet or spend a half hour playing with them in your home or in your back yard. I am also happy to administer any medicine your pet may need. I look forward to meeting your pet either at your home for walks and playtime or in my home for day sitting or boarding.

Marilyn looked after Genghiz for a week and I can honestly say that I had complete peace of mind. I got frequent updates and Marilyn even made him his favourite chicken, peas and rice dish when he ran out of what I had sent. Very happy and would highly reccomend.

We were very satisfied with Marilyn’s services, which were all about my dogs care and comfort. We were only away for 2 days and my dog was so comfortable with Marilyn he was just a cuddler to her.

We had such a great experience meeting Marilyn- our dog Jones was wonderfully cared for, and communication with Marilyn was excellent. Thanks again Marilyn, it was wonderful meeting and working with you.

Marilyn was fantastic! She took great care of our pooch, as well as our house, while we were away. We came back and the dog was clearly well taken care of and so happy. We will absolutely book Marilyn again!

Marilyn is absolutely amazing. I feel like she became best friends with my pup. He was so excited to see her.

This is the second time I have used Marilyn's services. My little yorkie shitzu Max had surgery two weeks before we were scheduled to leave for our vacation & Marilyn was up for the challenge of following all the special care instructions from the vet so that his leg would continue to heal as it should. She was wonderful & an absolute life saver!
