Safety, trust & environment

My priority is making sure you feel confident that your pet will be in a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine care. Providing love, fun, and comfort to your fur baby is part of who I am. I truly enjoy making their day special—whether that means playtime, relaxing companionship, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always come first while they are in my care.

Information Marleen T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, routines, or behaviors that I should be aware of. This can include anxiety, nervousness, specific triggers, resource guarding behaviors (for example with food, toys, treats, or resting areas) so I can manage the environment safely and respectfully. If your pet prefers a certain type of water or food, has any injuries, health conditions, or mobility limitations, feel free to share that as well. The more I know about your pet’s personality and routine, the better I can make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure I provide the best care possible for your companion.

A typical day

I love keeping pets both physically and mentally stimulated. During our time together we’ll enjoy a variety of fun and enriching activities tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. This can include games like running and chasing, playing fetch, exploring new environments through safe “sniff walks,” and discovering nearby parks. I also enjoy light training sessions, interactive play, and plenty of positive attention. My goal is to make sure your pet stays active, engaged, and happy while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a very special part of my life. My love for them began when I was six years old with my first Chow-Chow puppy. We built a deep bond that taught me how much animals communicate through trust, affection, and energy. Since then, caring for animals has been something natural and meaningful to me. I always make sure every dog or cat guest feels safe, loved, and at home. To me, animals are like little angels, and they deserve the best care, patience, and attention. Over the years I’ve cared for many dogs and cats, helping with walks, sitting, playtime, basic training, and companionship. I’m also a professional animal photographer, which has given me even more experience understanding animal behavior and personalities. Currently I share my home with one cat, one Pomapoo, and one Alaskan Husky. They are part of my family, and any pet staying with me will be welcomed with the same love and care. Your loyal companion will be in kind, responsible, and attentive hands. 🐾❤️ Se habla español también.

Marleen was great! While out on our vacation, I got very busy and didn’t check in as often as I should have but it was okay because Marleen sent me several photos throughout the day with updates to show me my two dogs were having a good time! Many of which were photos of them out on walks and playing ❤️ Would absolutely recommend!
