Safety, trust & environment

At my home, dogs need to be leashed when outdoors as I do not have a fenced in yard. I’m comfortable working around the parameters of your own home to best fit your pet’s needs.

Home

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 4-8 hours

Information Marly S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any quirks or special needs. I have a dog of my own and she’s fairly shy, so I’m used to working with dogs that have trust issues and need a gentle and patient hand.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for walks around the neighborhood, or if they don’t mind the car, going for an adventure either hiking or walking on the beach. After a long walk? Snuggle on the couch!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8 years old when I got my first official pet, a parakeet named Kiwi. Since then, I’ve helped take care of my family’s dogs, cats, gecko, and my own dog. I worked as a Client Service Representative at a Vet Clinic in New York for a year before moving to Duluth, MN.

Marly took such good care of our shy dog Evelyn. She was patient, loving, and followed Evelyn's schedule so she felt right at home. Highly recommend!

Marly was very easy to work with. I really appreciated that she had us visit prior to our first care time. She sent nice updates which helped us to know how things were going. She was very kind and calming for our pup.

100% perfect. Calvin (dog) loves her and she took great care of him, and even was flexible with some weird planning.
