Dogs' best friend.
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 German Shepherds.
Reviews
Marilyn is a great dog sitter. She provided frequent updates with pictures. She had my dog for 2 weeks and she made me feel comfortable being away for that long. My dog seemed to have enjoyed her time with Marilyn. She has a wonderful home with a nice backyard. I would not hesitate to have Marilyn watch my pet again. Thank you!
Marilyn is great! She is extremely dependable and I know the dogs are in good hands. When she had to leave the dogs alone for some longer work days she had her son Adam fill in and he did a great job too. We had a small home maintenance issue while we were gone and they were on top of it and took care of everything. Highly recommend!
Marilyn was a great sitter when I had to board my dog with her for a night. She was very caring, and kept updating me with pictures of duke while he was with her. She was also flexible with drop off/pick up time. Truly recommend.
Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!

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.

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? Do they have any special toys?
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.

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.
