about auntie marilyn
We use our experience to create yours
Auntie Marilyn’s Pet Sitting Service is a specialized service geared towards making your dogs, cats, and/or other pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away – right in the comforts of your own home. I know the trauma and apprehension that is involved with sending your pet off to a kennel, and that is why I provide your pet with the best possible care in the comforts of their own home.
While you’re away, Auntie Marilyn will come to your home to feed and provide water for your pets, exercise them, give them medicine (if needed), vitamins, and other special care, and get medical treatment in case of illness. I do my best to keep your pet as happy and healthy as possible during your absence. Services also include giving your home that “lived in” look: mail brought in daily, water plants, lights altered, yard waste removal, and trash/recycles taken out on the scheduled day.
Auntie Marilyn would like to meet the client and their pets before service begins so that we are comfortable together, ensuring the best possible care. I understand how much your pet is a member of the family.
I have always been an avid animal lover and am the proud owner of an adorable dog, my precious cats, and chatty parakeets.
Animals are my passion. Your pets are provided with the love and attention they need. Auntie Marilyn is dedicated to servicing her clients in the best possible way.
I look forward to serving you, and would enjoy hearing from you at 815-341-7292 or use the contact option above to send me an email.
