My husband and I were nervous about leaving our pug puppy for the first time. He was attacked by a larger dog when he was 6 months old and lost an eye, so we were very concerned about leaving him and specifically leaving him around other dogs. Marilyn was very quick to calm our nerves about everything and she backed it all up. She had us bring Artoo over for a meet and greet to see how he interacted with her dogs and other DogVacayers. Then during our week away she sent videos and pictures of him playing with his "group" in the yard. She had 10 dogs total but had them split up into smaller groups for outdoor time. He seemed to have a good week and made some friends while there. Also, if your dog stays for a week they get a complimentary bath, Artoo has never smelt better! We would recommend Marilyn to anyone looking and will probably use her again.

Our two chihuahuas can be a little picky but they absolutely love Marilyn and have a great time while in her care. Our dogs have stayed with Marilyn several times and we wouldn't want to leave them with anyone else now. Marilyn is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and will make sure your dog gets settled into the pack properly. She takes her time with the introduction of the dogs, and her house has a big secure yard for them to play and roam around in. She sends lots of pictures and comments about your babies, treating them as her own.
