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.

Marlen was amazing with our dog, George! We were a bit nervous to have someone stay with him since he can have anxiety with new people, but George warmed up to her right away. She respected his schedule and updated us throughout our trip with pictures. We have already rebooked her for another trip!

Marlene was an amazing sitter, when we went out of town for the first time without our 2 dogs we were so worried about them but she took excellent care of them, followed their routine perfectly and even sent us photos throughout the day! We are definitely going to be booking with her again when we leave town, she is our forever sitter!

Marlen was amazing with our dogs! She is so kind, considerate and professional. We received a ton of photos while we were away and she was very good at keeping in touch. She stayed in our home with the dogs and when we returned, it was like she was never there! The dogs went on daily walks and I know they received lots of attention. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
