Reviews
Marjorie has taken are of our 2 Siamese cats and 3 dogs (Chihuahua, boxer pit mix, and a dalmatian pit mix) when on vacation over the last 5 + years.. The dogs love her and great her with kisses every time they see her. And the cats greet her with their purrs and meows when she is around. We know our critters and our home are in great hands when she is there. We enjoy the updates she sends us while we are away. She has many years of working with animals and it shows in her interactions with them along with their responses to her.
Marjorie is amazing with dogs and cats. We have a sweet but grumpy little chihuahua who absolutely loves Marjorie because she is truly a "dog whisperer." She is compassionate and gentle, while also extremely efficient. I cannot recommend her more highly. Your pets will be loved and so well cared for by Marjorie!!!
Marjorie is the only pet sitter that I trust with my precious Missy girl. Missy is a very picky 12 year old dachshund that doesn't appreciate being left behind when I jet off for adventures. Marjorie spends lots of quality time making Missy feel extra comfortable while I am gone! Not only is Missy having the time of her life with one of her favorite people while I am gone, she gets to stay in the comfort of her own home. Marjorie sends me photo updates throughout the trip to reassure me that my baby angel is being well taken care of. Just today, I spent the day at Schlitterbaun and Marjorie came over and hung out with Missy this afternoon. She sent me the cutest picture of Missy enjoying the sunshine in the backyard. Long story short, I am more than comfortable leaving my number 1 girl in Marjorie's capable hands. She is an animal lover with much experience in veterinary care. She is a loving, wonderful person and I can't sing her praises enough!
Marjorie is THE BEST! We never worry about our dogs when she is staying with them! We think they actually like her better than us. We have multiple dogs ranging in size from 19-100 lbs and she is great with them and the rotating gang of foster dogs that inhabit our home. She sends us pictures and updates and always leaves us a note to let us know how they behaved. During one of her stays she had to take one of our dogs to the vet unexpectedly and she handled it all with ease and left us details on how to follow up and handle medications. My only hesitation in writing this is that we don't want to share her!
