Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Marlena and I love working with animals. Growing up my family has always worked with rescues and fostered dogs, on top of caring for our own fur babies. Working with so many fosters has given me experience with all kinds of different temperaments and medical conditions, so there isn’t much I haven't seen when it comes to dogs. I’ve never met a dog I couldn’t win over eventually and love having the opportunity to show new furry friends that people are good. I have a cat, Princess Buttercup, that rules my house and 2 dogs, Toby and Munchkin (both rescues). I try to include my pets in everything I do outside of work. Whether it’s a day snuggled up at home with Princess Buttercup or out kayaking with Toby, my free time goes to the animals.

Great attention to details, super communicative during the stay, and send a ton of pics. Definitely felt our pup was in good hands and would use again!

Excellent boarding experience. Marlena was great with my dog who can be a bit much for some. Her stay was over Christmas and Marlena sent me plenty of videos and photos of my baby dressed in sweaters and hats opening presents. 10/10 would book again.

Marlena took care of my babies. It was our first time boarding and she made me feel super comfortable. I received several photos and videos of the babies while I was away, which I REALLY appreciated. She also was very accommodating to a complex scheduling situation. Very grateful for her services.

Marlena went above and beyond to car for my skittish dog and cat. If you are lucky enough to have her watch your pets, do not pass up the opportunity!

Information Marlena B. would like to know about your pet

Most important for me is whether or not your pup likes cats if they’re coming to my house. If I’m sitting at your place or just picking them up for a walk, then no problem. But if your pup comes to my house he has to be ok with kitties.

A typical day

I take my own boys with me almost everywhere and if yours enjoy the same activities, we’d be happy to have them. My boys love long walks so I try to find interesting new places like downtown or the park at Marina Jacks. Sometimes we even walk some nature trails in the area.
