Reka and David are a delightful couple who are particularly fond of cats! They kept us up to date regularly with things at home. Our aged washing machine packed up on them but they let us know and took it in their stride. I recommend them.
Mike and Liz were our first experience of house sitting and we could not be happier with the experience. They are incredibly thoughtful and caring custodians of both our pets (two young spaniels) and our house. We cannot recommend them highly enough! This was not an entirely straight forward sit as our dog had to go to the vet on day 1 for a grass seed removal so required careful looking after on his return to keep him away from the stitches. Frankly speaking, I think they did a better job than I would have managed! They kept us updated on things via WhatsApp while we were away and went above and beyond by food shopping for our return and cutting the grass - neither of which were expected of them but both of which were incredibly well received! The house looked better on return than it did on our departure and we would absolutely welcome them back any time - the dogs are also mourning their departure!

We’re a repeat customer with Nails & Tails! We love both Marilyn and Pamela. They’ve each watched our 7 yr old beagle who has allergies and needs to only eat her food. They sent the best pictures throughout the stay to show how much fun she was having. You can tell how much they really love dogs and the great care they take ensuring both your dog and you are comfortable. Thank you both!
Going out of town for any extended period of time has been difficult having 3 ferrets and 3 guinea pigs. Boarding is expensive, and on top of that you don't really get to see how your animals are doing. My wife and I were super grateful to have found Nails and Tails, and Marilyn specifically. From the first time she came by for a consultation it was clear not only did she have a passion for animals, but she understood how stressful leaving our animals is. Throughout our trip Marilyn kept us updated with texts and photos of our animals, and it really put our minds at ease. I cannot recommend Nails and Tails enough, especially if you have animals that are not as common to board.
What can I say about the awesome service provided by Marilyn? My guinea pig TJ was left for about a week while I was on vacation, my nervousness as instantly calmed when I first met Marilyn, her spirit and genuine love for animals is so amazing! I would get daily photos and videos while on vacation which eased my mind even more. My guinea pig was happy, healthy, well fed and well taken care of. I highly recommend her services and will definetly use in the future! Thank you so much Marilyn!
Marilyn was wonderful and accommodating! Our regular pet sitter cancelled last minute so we were googling frantically and ultimately took a chance & we are so happy we did! She did not disappoint
I needed someone to watch my puppy for a day last week from Sunday morning until Monday. I tried to reach out to few pet boarding places in the area but most were closed on Sundays. When I reached out to Marylin, she quickly responded. and I am so happy she did! Marylin was so amazing with my puppy and she sent me picture updates of what he was doing. I will be using her services again and recommend her.
Marilyn is an absolute pro with dogs! You can see that she genuinely loves animals and what she does for a living. She came to our house for a nail trim and dremel and our fur baby did very good with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be using her services again. Thanks again Marilyn!

Marilyn was very kind and patient with my 2 dogs one of which is terrified of any type of grooming and she did wonderful with her. She did an excellent job with them and made sure I was pleased with everything.I will be using her from now on. I would definitely recommend her services.
My grandmother used Nails & Tails for her 16 year old cat, Maui, and absolutely loved the service. Marilyn did an excellent job grooming Maui and getting a mat out that was underneath his chin without upsetting him. We'll definitely be using her again in the future!
Marylin has groomed my little Beyoncé twice she has done an amazing job both times. Having her come to the home puts my mind at ease. She is such a sweet caring person. You should really give her a try if you are looking for a wonderful mobile groomer. Her prices are really reasonable I could go on and on but she is great!!!!!!!
I have found a groomer for life and I will never bring my 3 year old Persian cat Gary anywhere else again!!! Let me preface this by saying Before I met Marilyn I would bring Gary to a grooming salon for his annual lion cut and pay about $120; and this groomer was known to be “the best around”. Well every time I brought him home he’d walk around in a strange low riding position and seclude himself for days. we always thought he was just acclimating to being groomed. I learned after bringing him to Marilyn that this behavior was definitely not normal. The reason he had been walking strange was due to the previous groomer causing a kind of razor burn b/c she was too rough and going too fast/ not being careful. So when Gary came home from Marilyn he was 1) not walking strange and 2) he was so friendly and happy and he looked great! She was also able to erase all hints of Gary’s tear stains so needless to say I will not be taking my animals anywhere else again. The kindness and patience she showed my cat are traits that apparently are not found in all groomers. I am relieved to have found someone I trust to groom my animals and it certainly doesn’t hurt that her prices are AMAZING!!! Thanks again nails n tails!!!!
