Marilyn Reviews

5 Rating 7 Reviews

I am a mature age woman who loves to travel by train or bus around Australia and NZ. I am fit and very healthy. I love meeting new people of all cultures and ages and I have a deep love for all creatures. I have always had cats and dogs throughout my life and take the utmost care in looking after them. In more recent years I've experienced having fish finding them very restful and fascinating. Since WWOOFing I have experienced working with goats and various types of birds, including peacocks. I love to potter in the garden, grow things from seed, read, write, study, and take photos. In my time as a community care worker, I always went the extra mile with maintaining a high standard of care for my clients and their homes. I was a member of WWOOF Aus for 18mnths and have had all successful placements. I have excellent character references over many years, both work and personal. I look forward to meeting you and ensuring your peace of mind that your beloved pets are well cared for and loved and your home is honoured, so that you can enjoy your time away.

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Penelope, received from Marilyn over a period of 16 days. Ahead of the stay, Marilyn stayed in touch with us, giving us peace of mind that she was fully on board for the stay. Whilst we were away, she kept us well-informed with regular, detailed updates on how Penelope was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about Penelope’s well-being, providing plenty of attention and affection. When we returned, the house was sparkling clean, and Penelope was happy and healthy. We’re so grateful for her excellent service and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“We are incredibly fortunate to have found Marilyn - she is a wonderful house sitter! Our home was left in perfect condition and all of our plants and aquariums are thriving. Benny and the Jets, our turtle and the fishies, look as happy as ever. The care and attention to detail were outstanding, and the thoughtful gifts were such a lovely surprise. Marilyn sent us regular updates about our pets and the house, and was self-sufficient. Thank you for going above and beyond.”

“Marilyn was absolutely wonderful! She was so attentive to our dog and we knew Masey was in the best of hands. Marilyn goes above and beyond, making sure your pet is well cared for and so they don’t miss you too much whilst away. She followed instructions and also kept our house so clean and tidy. She was punctual and great communicator. We hope to see you again in the future!”

“Marilyn was in Tasmania when I was organising a house sitter so we had a few phone and video calls to 'meet' each other. She has a warm welcoming personality who I immediately took to. Marilyn looked after my home and my pets for a month and she cared for them like they were her own. When I returned the house was spotless, the garden was neat and tidy and the animals were clearly content and well cared for. I would not hesitate to ask Marilyn to sit for me again in the future.”
