Pet care experience

Reliable & Loving Sitter

I am a dedicated Rover sitter with over 11 years of experience in pet care. I have 2 lovable companions of my own - Winston a 9 year old italian greyhound and Max, a 5 year old german shepard. My expertise extends to both dogs and cats, and I'm well-equipped to accommodate any special needs your furry friend may have. I work from home, which allows me to offer flexible pet sitting and drop-in visits seven days a week. You can count on me to provide regular photo updates and detailed progress reports throughout your pet's stay with me. Additionally, I'm open to house sitting at your property, ensuring your pet is comfortable in their familiar environment. Rest assured, I pledge to focus on only one pet at a time to ensure the utmost safety and care for your beloved companion. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

Safety, trust & environment

I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I’ll follow your care instructions closely and take the time to build trust at their pace. During visits, I’ll keep an eye on their comfort, make sure they have fresh water, and double check that doors and gates are secure before leaving. I’ll treat your home with care and respect and share photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

Marleina came to my house and checked in on my pets — let them out in the yard for a run and fed them. I arrived home to find everything and everyone (3 dogs, 1 cat) as if I had just left them an hour before. Did a great job. Many thanks!!!

Marleina was amazing with my cat. My cat is a rescue and is extremely skittish and shy....I mean she will hide for hours if she hears a guest enter. Anywho, Marleina took great care of her, sent me updates, and made sure she had enough food and clean water :) I've used many cat hotels before, but my cat really looked calm, content.", and happy when I returned from vacation. Seriously! I would refer Marleina to any one of my friends ?

Marleina is a great cat-sitter. She is professional and prompt in responding to my text messages. When I returned home my cat was happy and well-fed. I am very pleased with Marleina's services and highly recommend her!

Marleina was an excellent sitter for our pup! She was flexible with our busy schedule and was more than willing to help out when we needed her! Our puppy Hendrix can be stubborn at times, but he was in good hands. I definitely recommend her!

Schedule

I work from home full-time, which gives me flexibility to fit walks and drop-in visits into my day, even on short notice! Whether your pet needs a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to help keep their routine consistent and give them plenty of attention. Mondays and Saturdays typically require a little more advance notice, but feel free to reach out so we can see if there is a time that works!

Cats

Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routine, and any special care needs, including allergies, dietary restrictions, or medications. If your dog is reactive, please share their triggers and what helps them feel comfortable before confirming a booking. I’d also love to know their favorite activities and any house rules you’d like me to follow so I can provide safe, consistent care!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
