Loving Care for your pet

I have had dogs for many years. I have trained them all and taken many obedience classes with them. I am willing to work with and love any dog in my care. We recently have moved from Upstate NY to Florida and are now full time residents . I always wanted mine to have some one there with them and very seldom boarded them in kennels, because there are not many where someone is present during the evening/ over night hours. The dogs I care for are like family member. For the past 12 years I had owned Great Danes, 5 of those years 2 Great Danes shared my home. There have been other visiting dogs also. The last Great Dane we lost in July of this year. A home can be very quiet when you get used to having those special friends near daily, and then they are not.

Marion and her husband were amazing! We had a great experience with them and Lulu seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Marion walked her a few times a day, brushed her and even played classical music while she napped! She sent updates and pictures nearly every day which we were very happy about. I’m so relieved to have found someone I trust to look after Lulu while we’re out of town :)!

Hands down the best sitter I’ve came across. Marion has been great, accommodating and you can easily tell she’s very passionate about dogs. My 80lbs Pit bull came out her house as he had been in a spa all weekend. She shared pics of him during the stay, communication was great and the feeling knowing that your pup is in good caring hands while you’re away means everything. I highly recommend Marion!

This was possibly the best stay Elvis has ever had. Marion made sure he felt at home in her house and sent me daily messages to make me feel at ease while I was away. He had the best time playing with her Great Dane, Einstein, who we had a meet-and-greet with prior to his stay to make sure we all felt comfortable before the overnight stay. Since returning from his stay with Marion and Einstein, Elvis has slept for an entire day. So, I knew he had a great time. But most of all, as a result of finally playing with a puppy larger than him, Elvis has been more respectful toward his smaller, older dog sister after returning home. We will definitely be seeing Marion for all of our overnight stays!

Marion took wonderful care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent multiple picture and text messages assuring me Rosie was doing well. Marion is very knowledgeable and helped put my mind at ease several times during our “playtime” introductions prior to her sitting for us. Rosie had a great time with Marion’s dog and we feel she was very well cared for. Thanks Marion!

Their likes and dislikes. If house trained, crate trained, breed, size. Are they good with other dogs. Male, female? I am more than willing to take dogs from the same families. Having owned 2 Great Danes at the same time I know how hard it is to find housing for them and keep them together when it is necessary to go away and not have to consider a kennel.
