Peaceful Retreat for Furry Kids

Pet care experience

Hello there, pet guardians! I'm here to provide your beloved fur babies with the love and care they deserve. My journey as a pet lover began on a farm, where I cherished the company of both cats and dogs. Later on, I had the privilege of raising my very own dynamic duo, "Tom and Jerry." Our time together was filled with joy, and it taught me the significance of entrusting our four-legged children to a loving caregiver. With a calm and grounded personality, I relish every moment spent on walks and cuddles as much as your furry companions do. Working from the comfort of my home, I'm delighted to have the company of a canine friend by my side. I can effortlessly adjust my schedule to accommodate as many breaks as needed for delightful walks in the quiet neighborhood and playtime in the back yard. Your fur babies will receive my undivided attention as there are no other pets in my home at this time. They can roam freely throughout the house or, if preferred, I can provide a cozy crate for their comfort. Your pets' safety and well-being is my top priority, and I can't wait to create a tail-wagging, purring, love-filled experience for them.

We have used Marlen multiple times, and we trust her to keep our pets happy and safe! She is very friendly and our dog, Rowdy, loves her!

Marlen took excellent care of our home and our cats. She was very conscientious and responsive when we checked in. We loved seeing the photos she sent of our babies, and we could tell they really responded to her. We highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.

Marlen is amazing. She is so patient and kind and gave my dogs the best experience while we were away. She sent photos and I felt 100% confident that they were happy and so well cared for the entire time I was away. I am so grateful.
