Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring reliable and there for you.
I have had pets in my home from childhood. I Have cherished memories of all my dogs, who have lived to old age and have been loved like one of the family. I have a list of four legged friends who I have cared for in their homes for friends and family for many years. People have trusted me to care for their pets of all ages and their homes for extended periods of time and I enjoy every minute. I have been referred to as the dog whisperer. I love to go on long hikes, but also happy to just stroll.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pet and home as if they were my own. I am a mature responsible person with a good understanding of how to respect your space.
Ratings and reviews
Marilyn was great, reliable, our cats liked her. Would request Marilyn as a sitter again.




Marilyn did a fantastic job with our 2 dogs, one of which is a puppy. They immediately connected with her. Would highly recommend.


As always the girls had a wonderful time and my home was beautiful and tidy



Marilyn was great! As my dogs are used to having someone home all the time Marilyn's schedule worked perfect with their usual routine. All went very well!



It was love at first sight for our Akita, Moka, when she met Marilyn. Although generally friendly, Moka is typically aloof with new people. However it was like she’d known Marilyn for years when they met, and she clearly enjoyed their nature walks while we were away. Even though we are back, I’m thinking I’ll need to at least do a weekly walk, so that Moka can see her new best friend!

Marilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!
