Pet care experience

Pet care professional

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.

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.

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!

Marleen was wonderful taking care of Niko for the weekend. She would send us pictures every while we were gone. It was really nice to see how he was doing along with making sure he was happy.

Marleen did an excellent job taking care of our babies!! She communicates about everything going on and about updates very well and always responds back very quickly. She did everything we asked her to do and more with love and kindness. I will definitely use her again. The money was well spent to make sure our babies were taken good care of. Thank you Marleen!!!

Schedule

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Just let me know the day and time you need, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. Being present and attentive is important to me, so your pet will receive plenty of care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away.

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.
