Dog Nanny

Pet care experience

We have a small home with a very secure fenced yard. We have been boarding dogs for almost a year and have had several repeat customers. With our varied schedules, the dogs are rarely home alone for long. We only watch one family of dogs at a time so there are no conflicts between animals. We do not have any dogs of our own any more. We had Springer Spaniels for over 20 years and miss being dog owners. This type of work has helped us not miss our pups as much. We take our direction from the owners. If it is ok with them for the dogs to sleep on the furniture, then it's ok with us. Many of our previous dogs have slept on the bed with me as well. We are very hands on with the dogs; lots of petting, ball throwing and walks; whatever suits our boarders. For more information, give us a call.

Marilyn and Rick took great care of our lil chug bug Nero! He was very happy and they gave him lots of love. They also sent some cute photos of him as he was with them for the night! Thank you!

We're so grateful for Marilyn! The dogs had a great time. Marilyn was professional and provided lots of TLC! Thank you for making our first SD dog sitting experience so lovely!

I am reluctant to award a high rating to Marilyn because it would just make her more attractive to others and potentially less available to me when I want/need her. Marilyn & her husband took wonderful care of our two dogs. Their backyard was simply great for our girls. There is nothing but gratitude I have for them and will seek to rebook them every time I am able to.

Marilyn & Rick were terrific. Not a worry about our pups while we were on a 6 days trip out of the US to Mexico. Our first meet and greet with the two Basenji's (Obi & Roobee), they spent over an hour getting to know us and our pups! Not only did we bond with them both, so did our pups. And their yard is a paradise for them! No walking was needed so we didn't have to worry about them getting off leash. Upon our return, they we waiting for us and had no lag in picking them up. Luckily they both still wanted to come home. LOL We received a thank you card in the mail that actually we should be sending to Marilyn & Rick! We will definitely be using them again for any future trip, we have! They rock! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups! Leslie & Dana
