Loving, reliable and experienced pet sitter

Pet care experience

I’m a seasoned dog sitter with over a decade of expertise, having transitioned from a flourishing career in finance to follow my deep-rooted passion for dogs. Our home is a haven for all dog breeds, but we have a unique knack for catering to extra-small, small, and medium breeds – especially those accustomed to the finer things in life. If your pup is used to being pampered, they’ll feel right at home with us. Should your dog require that extra touch of attention, rest assured. Whether it’s snuggling them under blankets, taking them on strolls in a bag or stroller, administering medications, or serving gourmet homemade meals, I cater to their every whim. As a devoted pet parent myself, I know there’s no such thing as “too much” for our furry loved ones. Any specific requests? Just let me know.* With 24/7 supervision, your pup will never be alone. At night, they have the freedom to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable, even if it’s by my side in my own bed. Understanding the social nature of dogs, I customize social interactions based on your pup’s individual personality. Years of experience have shown me the transformative power of carefully curated interactions. Even the most reserved dogs often find renewed zest during their stay.

Marlen is just the best! Uma was so enjoying with Marlen?❤️ I received a lot of photos and I was absolutely confident that Uma is in great hands. Thank you so much for taking care of my Uma ?

I couldn't be happier with the care Marlene provided for Coco on two separate occasions. Coco clearly enjoyed her time with Marlene, and it's evident that Marlene is not only knowledgeable but truly understands dogs and their unique needs. I highly recommend Marlene for anyone looking for a caring and skilled dog caregiver. She's been a great find for us!

Marlen is my favorite dog sitter, she always makes sure that my little one feels like at home. I wasn’t sure about leaving my little Rufs with someone else until I met Marlen, he adores her!! And I love that Marlen sends me multiple updates during the day :)

My dog LOVES Marlen and he never wants to leave her house when I come to pick him up. Marlen has looked after my dog on multiple occasions, from a couple of hours during the day to more than a week. She always sends lots of updates, including photos and videos. I only trust very few people with my dog and there is no one I would rather have looking after him than Marlen. Her little dog Dona is the friendliest little bundle of joy and has become the best friend of my dog (who is very picky with other dogs). Marlen always goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs she looks after are safe, well taken care of and HAPPY. My warmest recommendations!
