Information Marlies H. would like to know about your pet

Before I accept a dog sitting I always meet the dog first. The dog has to be comfortable with me and must be social.All dogs must be current with rabies and DHLPP immunizations. Bordatella is also preferred to assure your dog's continued good health. Each dog over 6 months of age must be spayed or neutered. Each dog must be free from flea or tick infestations.

Love to give your dog a vacation !

Pet care experience

I love dogs and would like to give your dog a vacation too. I'm a strong believer that dogs know when the owner is leaving and is very sad when he/she don't can go. That's the reason why I like to spoil the dog/cat every day and give them all my attention, so they won't miss mam & dad so much. I'm staying at your house day and night, so if your dog want's to sleep with me in the bed, he/she can do so. I have 50 years of experience in dog sitting and training. I'm working for an Animal Clinic since 1995. Why I love dog sitting I have dogs since I was a child. My father was a breeder of German shepherds. There is no time I was without a dog.

Marlies is the best. I do not have to worry about a thing when she is here. The dogs love her as much as we do!

This is the third time Marlies has taken care of our 2 dogs and cat. They were happy when we came home and they like Marlies so we’ll ask her again! Thank you Marlies!

Marlies was great with the dogs. I did not worry at all while we were gone, I knew she was taking good care of them. She also took great care of the house! I will not hesitate to use her again.
