Your pets 2nd or 3rd best friend!
Pet care experience
I majored in animal science; wanting to become a vet tech but ended up taking a different career path. I love dogs and self taught myself the majority of every breed as well as positive training! I’m 21 years old, I plan on having my own dog related business in the future! I know the struggle of having to be somewhere else and having the dog at home. I love all dog breeds big or small. I believe that dogs are people too, meaning they have feelings, needs and wants. I’m a loving/patient person when it comes to animals and I believe trusting me with your dog is a very good decision. I’ve dealt with un domesticated/ domesticated dogs it’s always wonderful taking care of different breeds. I do have a large backyard so they will be plenty of playtime & potty breaks as needed. I will always put the safety and comfort of your dog first!!
Reviews
Marlee was great! She house sat for our 2 dogs for a weekend and they were well taken care of and happy when we returned home. Would definitely book her again!
Marlee was fantastic with our anxious pup! Highly recommend! Me and my spouse were visiting friends in New Haven and staying in an Airbnb for a few nights, so we brought our dog Summer with us. We had evening plans the day we arrived, but our adorable one and a half year old lab mix is working through some separation anxiety, and i didn’t want to leave her alone in a new location for an extended period of time. In place of a meet and greet, Marlee and I FaceTimed, and I could tell just by our call that she was a wonderful person. When I met her IRL, Summer took to her right away. She was so comfortable with Marlee, that she passed out right next to her for most of the time they were together! Marlee sent texts and photo updates, and was genuinely fantastic. We were able to enjoy our evening, knowing that our anxious little pup, was sleeping happily next to Marlee. Thank you Marlee!!!! You’re the best!
Very accommodating and my pup loves hanging with her.
excellent service - on time and efficient - capable of handling my large 140lb boy and the Bassett too - meds taken care of and provided great stress relief for the wife and I to get away for a few days w/ no worries "about the kids"... TY Marlee - you are a star!!!!

Availability
I attend school online, Booking (2weeks) in advance would be greatly appreciated but I am always willing to work out my schedule for my clients. I understand last minute situations occur. I make your dogs routine my duty to achieve. With that being said, I go above and beyond to exercise and train (minor things like leash pulling, dog reactivity and basic obedience) while building a bond between me and your pet!
