Availability
I work from home most days, so having a dog or two in the house is not an issue. And, i don't mind sitting at other folks' homes, if the dogs are more comfortable in their own environment.

About Marilyn P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I've recently fenced our backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence, so that visiting dogs will be secure during off-leash play. I live in a quiet neighborhood and there is a large park down the street, so walks can be quite lengthy, if the dog is up for it. I have a few chickens in a coop / run in the backyard. The app asks about my pets but then when I said ‘yes’ only allowed me to pick either ‘dog’ or ‘cat’ - and I couldn’t list birds so I couldn’t update it. 😕. Apparently Rover thinks there are only two kinds of animals??? Visits to the backyard are always supervised to keep everyone safe.

Information Marilyn P. would like to know about your pet
YOUR VET INFO IS NOW REQUIRED. Please do not request my services without providing all pet health information that the app requests and having a willingness to be a good-faith partner in the care of your precious animal. For boardings - please bring the food they’re used to, their normal leash/harness/collar set-up for walks, a chew toy (like a Kong) or some other chew-bone they are used to, and something of comfort (typically a blanket or a stuffy-toy but some owners have sent a shirt that smells like the owner.) ? Other nice to know info: Do they like going for car rides? Do they have any food allergies? Is there anything that you know they're afraid of? What are their favorite activities?
A typical day
Love walking dogs - we have a large park nearby so there's plenty of open space to be able to stay away from strangers. Our neighborhood is typically quiet. Also, the fenced backyard is a space where they can run freely off leash. There's nothing in the backyard that is so precious that they can't let loose and just run in circles or chase a ball.

Pet care experience
I love animals. I used to have three Shar Peis, which can be fairly temperamental, but I think I was their favorite walker. I've walked dogs with Wag for years and have cared for dogs ranging from tiny pups to large Anatolian Shepherds.
Reviews
Marilyn was absolutely perfect for our dog. She walked her everyday and let her make herself at home. I would absolutely recommend Marilyn and I know we will definitely request her again!
Marilyn was a delight, extremely responsive, and took great care of our dog.
Marilyn is an absolute dog lover. Whenever we’re out of town, I have complete peace of mind knowing our Great Dane is not only well cared for, but treated like family. Josie gets daily walks, fun trips to the store, and plenty of fresh, tasty treats. Honestly, my only worry now is that Marilyn and Adam might not be available when we need them!
Thank you.
