Pet care experience

Dog & cat purrr-son

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was lucky to have many different types of pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to truly understand animals’ needs. Caring for them has always been second nature to me. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m located in Kearney, but I spend a lot of time in Hastings visiting family, so I’m happy to travel between both areas if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard but I live close to a park that other dogs go to as well, and I live close to trails that we can go on! I don't have any other animals in my house but your pet will get all the attention they need from myself and my roommates.

Marilyn is fantastic! Before we booked her for the first time she offered to come over and meet our fur baby, which made us feel so much better since we were using her for the first time. Great at communication and sending us pictures for just drop in visits. Would definitely recommend and will Book again!

Marilyn was simply amazing! She spent tons of time with our babies and took them on adventures. We got ton of updates during our trip so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Very sweet, very respectful. 10/10 recommend!

Marilyn did a great job taking care of our cat while we went on vacation. We appreciated the picture and video updates and could see that they had so much fun together! We would definitely have Marilyn drop in again when we are gone.

Schedule

I primarily work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I also have another position where I’m able to choose the shifts I pick up, giving me even more flexibility. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs.

I will do a meet & greet before officially booking the request, during this time I use that as an opportunity for both the pets and owners to get to know me and vice versa! I like to know the pets' routine, behavior, anything and everything.... no such thing as too much information about your furry babies!
