Marilyn has done a wonderful job with our dog snickers. She has sent pictures of him on his great walks and been extremely reliable. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take care of your pet. Five stars!

Marilyn has done a great job walking my mother‘s dachshund. Unfortunately, my mom is unable physically to walk him anymore and it’s so important to her that he get the proper care he needs. Marilyn has provided a great deal of peace for both me and my mother. She does a wonderful job and communicates very well.

Marlyn took great care of our puppy. She was always making sure he was happy, paid him extra attention and he was always excited to see her. She was also able to administer medicine for our puppy which was amazing when we travelled we always knew he was in great hands.

Rubi is great with my dog Luca! She stayed at my place to watch him while I was out of town and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She followed all my instructions perfectly and was very attentive to my pup. I would highly recommend her services. She’s someone you can count on to provide excellent care to your pet(s)!

Let me know any sort of behaviors I should pay attention to, things or gestures they do or don’t like, if they like to be a Velcro pup or like their distance. I will make notes to ensure I don’t forget any of it.
