Loving Care for your pet

Pet care experience

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. I spend 6 months in upstate NY (April thru Sept) and 6 months in Florida(Oct thru March). 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 members, 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 just before Christmas 2016 he would have been 10yrs old March of 2018 . A home can be very quiet when you get used to having those special friends near daily, and then they are not.

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!

Information Marion B. would like to know about your pet

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,

A typical day

We will have playtime, perhaps some obedience training and daily walks. I live in a quiet neighborhood and will take your pet(s) for walks. . Treats if allowed and of course cuddle time.
