Animal lover to walk board dog,

Pet care experience

I have a loving home with two rescue dogs, one rabbit and birds. I do dog walking and boarding. I love to walk so when someone hires me and the dog is a walker we always have great fun. I also do limited boarding in my home up to 5 dogs. I would also stay at yours if that is preferable. I have a great coral area with a 6 ft fence. I live in Andover and have been here 25 years. I usually do 4 to 5 walks a day. Why I love dog sitting My father owned the animal forest park in York Maine I have always been an animal lover and was brought up with dogs all my life. I now have 2 rescue dogs from high kill shelters one from Huntsville, al. and one from the Carolinas. I also love walking in all weather and decided why not do something you love I have take obedience training courses and know how to deal with difficult dogs that herd and pull. About my yard My house has a large back yard about half of it is fenced in that the dogs can use with their own door which they figure out pretty fast following my dogs around My experience administering medication yes not a problem used to eye drops and pills

Marilyn was excellent with our dogs. She sent pictures and updates during our trip and when we returned we could tell that our boys felt very comfortable at Marilyn’s and had plenty of fun. We would happily book Marilyn again!

I will always check with Marilyn for availability and even move my plans around to accommodate her. I have no concerns with Marilyn. She loves my dog and cares for him as her own.
