Pet care experience
I am a trained dog trainer and handler extraordinaire! I have worked closely with dogs in a variety of capacities- sled dogs, detection dogs, foster dogs, you name it! They are what I'm passionate about and providing quality care is my utmost priority. I work from home and have a highly flexible schedule, so I will always be available to tend to the needs of your pet(s). I put the needs of the animals I care for above all else. Dogs will get at least two walks a day. For dogs with more energy, at lease one run or long hike as well as a walk. For cats and senior dogs, ample low-key play will be provided. You will get updates at least once a day, with photos and an update of how much fun your pet is having! Training can be arranged for dogs with either 3+ day long stays, or repeat walkers. I specialize in "problem" behaviors, such as separation anxiety, destruction, shyness, etc. and would love to work with you and your pet on such issues. I make my own dog treats and enjoy sharing them with the pets I look after, if allowed by the owner. I also do pet-friendly cakes, so let me know if you have a special event coming up!
Reviews
Marlen is simply the best!
Marlen has walked Pogo twice now and very pleased with her as a doggie walker!
Marlen was fantastic--responsive, a clear communicator, and obviously very experienced and knowledgable about dogs. I felt totally confident while Jade was with her that Jade was having a great time. I will definitely be a repeat client. I highly recommend Marlen.

Information Marlen R. would like to know about your pet
Schedule and Diet: to try to keep it as seamless as possible as when they're in your care. Dietary Restrictions: I make my own treats and like to share them with dogs I watch Prey Drive: Please let me know if they are reactive towards cats/wildlife at all so I am prepared Spayed/neutered: please mention if your pet is unaltered so I can anticipate behaviors connected to that
A typical day
I love our area! And I explore it as much as possible with whichever four-legged creatures are in my care. The beach is my favorite, and I visit the hiking trails in the forest and around the marsh multiple times throughout the week. If your dog likes to swim and the weather is nice enough, I have a couple of safe spots I like to go. In inclement weather, we will still at minimum walk the neighborhood twice a day.
