Pet care experience

My whole life I’ve always had dogs, I grew up loving animals and it is one of the main reasons I work here on rover, but not only that but to also be able to help others in helping caring for their pet companion. Some of my skills and experience include : -Maintaining comfortable, clean and sanitized animal quarters. -Observation of pet behavior for signs of illness or injury. -Managed basic animal needs, including regular feeding and watering. -Conducted play sessions with multiple animals to promote socialization and reduce stress levels. -Cleaned kennels, cages, and litter boxes regularly. -Administered medication as prescribed by vets - taking pets on walks regularly to ensure exercise and socialization. (Of course with owners request or permission) -Monitored animal behavior and condition for signs of distress or serious medical issues. -Fed and provided fresh water. -Promoted physical and mental health with play time and contact -Updating owners with videos and pictures

Marlen took good care of Hulk. She was a quick communicator and was very flexible with my schedule changes.

Marlen was great and both of my dogs enjoyed and had a good time with her. My dogs even made new paw friends while staying a week with Marlen.. Thank you for keeping me posted of pictures and a video of my dogs. They came home and had a very good nap as they got home.

We boarded our dog Coco with Marlene. She sent his photos everyday and also responded promptly when I asked her about how he was doing. I think Coco was very happy during his stay with her. I'll definitely be boarding him with her again in the future.

Though my house isn’t big from the inside, the backyard is very big and it’s enough space for all the dogs to run around and play. Of course I don’t leave them unsupervised when outside. I’m always with them at all times making sure all pups play nicely and not get into any fights

Information Marlen V. would like to know about your pet

I’m ok with any breed but I would prefer them to be spayed and/or neutered. Also no female dogs in heat. I will like to know if they need any special needs. All dogs must have their vaccinations

A typical day

I enjoy playing with animals and especially running around with them. But when it comes to hot weather I make sure not to over do it. Other than that I’m sure we’ll have fun. Some activities include catch, chasing, playing with toys, walking etc.

I’m currently working full time on rover but also I’m school online. I do stay at home most of the day,but there is always someone at home. When it comes to my schedule though I’m very flexible with time and I’m almost always available at short notice. I completely understand that there are emergencies and having to find a last minute sitter, that’s where I come in
