Providing A Stress-Free Experience

Between pet sitting and working at a pet store, I have about two years of professional experience caring for animals. However, I've cared for cats and dogs since I was in high school! I currently have one cat of my own and miss having more furry friends around.

Three cheers for Mareena! She took excellent care of my cats for two weeks while we were out of the country. Her calm demeanor really helped them, especially with Tuck who is very shy around strangers. She sent daily updates with pictures and I saw him out and playing with her and JiJi. Mareena was very communicative and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Will definitely have her back again!

Mareena did a really good job caring for my dogs while I was away. She provided nice updates and pictures. My dogs were happy, and my house was in good order upon my return. I would not hesitate to call on Mareena again in the future.

Mareena was terrific with our 2 Jack Russells. Daily walks, excellent communication, and most of all, unstressed dogs upon our return. Thank you Mareena for your care.

Mareena is nice and respectful. She's a responsible and caring pet sitter. She took care of my dog Maya for a week and I was very happy with the job she did. My dog was skittish and she took a while to warm up to people when she was young. Mareena was patient and took the time to make Maya and us comfortable.

Lavender Pet Sitting is provides peace of mind while you can’t be with your babies. Mareena is an absolute all-star. She took such good care of our beautiful baby, Sol. Even took cute & silly pictures for us! Truly could not recommend her enough. Easy to book and work with.

Our dogs just love Mareena. She comes over to let them out, but she also takes the time to play and spend time with them. We feel good going away knowing that our dogs will be taken care and excited to see Mareena.
