Hi there, I’m Dr. Marlen Harrison and I’ve always loved animals of ALL shapes and sizes. In my pet-sitting history I’ve cared for iguanas, birds, turtles, snakes, fish, rabbits, horses, ferrets, cats and dogs, and many more. I donate 3% of my earnings from Woodley Pet Services to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue of Washington, DC. marjyvWHY I’M UNIQUE: A) My little sister is a vet and I’m a Rover.com sitter so I have direct access to round the clock advice. B) My rates are flexible depending on your pet. C) I live just around the corner from the Woodley Park/Zoo Metro Station at The Woodley, a new building with huge private grounds for safe walk/playtime right next to the Marriott. I also have access to a couple of dog runs for off-leash excitement, lol. D) Even better, I WORK FROM HOME as an online professor and journalist! E) And did I mention my property has a beautiful pet bathing area!?! Free bath with every boarding! F) I keep fresh vegetables (carrots and sugar snap peas), organic unsalted rice cakes, and homemade dog treats (from Bongo and Blanket’s) in my fridge at all times. G) *Yo hablo Espanol! Nihongo ga wakarimasu!
