Experienced and Flexible Pet-Sitter

Pet care experience

I have had multiple unique animals that I've taken care of since I was a child- bunnies, snakes, ducks, a pet pig, as well as cats and dogs. I am well-versed in giving animals their medication and have dealt with scared or aggressive dogs before, as long as instructions are given on how best to handle said situations.

Marilyn is fantastic with dogs. She is responsible, compassionate, caring and reliable. Not only did she take care of the dogs, she also made sure the house was as if no one was there….really appreciated that. Use Marilyn with confidence!

Did a great job with my 3 dogs. They warmed right up to her and made it so easy to leave them in her care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that covers five acres, as well as two extremely friendly and mellow dogs. Our house has a dog door so the dogs can go in and out as they please. Dogs are only allowed in the kitchen, but it's a third of the house, and there's a couch and a big chair specifically for the dogs, and someone is always in the kitchen to keep the dogs company. There's tile on the floor so accidents are easy to clean up. I require at least 20 minutes for meet and greets, as we are currently fostering a traumatized German Shepherd and it takes her a bit to calm down with strange people. She has not had any issues with other dogs.

Information Marilyn P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have special requests or specific instructions for dog care. I excel at following directions, and have an open schedule. Every dog needs special attention.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks. The Katy Trail is only a few miles from my house, and it's a great place for dogs to smell new things. I also enjoy brushing dogs.

I am a graduate student, so my schedule is very open and flexible, and I don't mind traveling and staying overnight as long as I have access to the Internet for school assignments.
