Caring and loving animal caregiver

Pet care experience

I have been professionally taken care of Dogs for 5 years and personally over 17 years! I will always ask questions and make sure I follow the instruction provided to me so I can give the best care possible to your babies. I’ve definitely been on both sides and I appreciate when someone is watching my dog and follow and listen on what I want them to do. I am very familiarized with canines but also have experience with fish and other animals! I have house trained one of my dogs and professionally trained the second one. Owners LOVE how calm their dogs can be when I’m around.

Marlen is dependable and I trust her with my puppy.

This was our first time, using a dog sitter for our puppy. We were a little anxious, not knowing how it would go. Marlen put us at ease by giving us updates throughout the day with videos and pictures. Our puppy had so much fun, she came home and was knocked out. I plan to use her as my go to sitter.

This is the second time Marlen has sat for us and has yet again done an amazing job. Our dogs love her and will definitely be using her in the future.

Marlen took great care of our three large dogs ♥️ We left for a long weekend and of course one of the dogs got sick. She communicated in detail what was going on and took on all the suggestions I threw her way to help. We would recommend her to anyone else looking to book with large dogs (because I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea).
