Love Animals and Getting Exercise!

Pet care experience

There’s nothing more lovely and satisfying than building a connection with a dog. They’re so caring and loving. Coming home to my own dog, Klohe, is the best feeling. I have a soft spot for all dogs, and really enjoy spending time with them. I get along with other animals -- except snakes -- and will look after them. But dogs are just special. I believe in giving dogs TLC to let them know they are a part of the family. I have always had furry family members and I don't think I'll ever stop. I'm gentle, kind, and home 90% of the time--so you know I can be here for your dog. I love going on long walks and am happy to bring your pup along so we can stretch our legs. My home is completely open to my furry friends--no place is off limits! Mi casa es su casa! I can provide food or if you special guy or gal has a specific brand of treat or food please feel free to bring it with them. I am available on evenings and weekends and some days during the week. When your pup is with me, they'll get tons of attention and you'll get tons of updates. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, even when you're going somewhere exciting. Your pet will be so happy with me, it will be like you never left. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I can't wait to meet you.

Marlena was great. While we were away, she frequently and proactively communicated about her puppy. She sent pictures and messages throughout the course of his stay.

Kody had an awesome time with Marlena and Klohe. Marlena was very attentive and loving and kept us in the loop on all his activities with pictures and texts. THANK YOU!! Can't wait for him to spend more time with your family again.

Information Marlena B. would like to know about your pet

You could have chosen any dog sitter, but you chose me! I want to make sure you and your dog have the best experience. I’d like to start with a meet-and-greet so we can all get to know each other. My first question will be whether your dog gets along with other dogs, since I have a dog of my own. Of course I will want to hear about any diet or medical needs, treat and toy preferences, allergies or special needs. Tell me about commands, tricks, and favorite walks or games. Anything you can share about your pup I will be glad to hear.

A typical day

My dog and I love to soak up the sunshine in our backyard, and we’d love it if your dog would join us. Walks are good for humans and canines alike, so we will do plenty of walking. Playtime with toys and treats is a simple joy, and we’ll do plenty of that. I like to get in three good walks a day. There’s a long path winding around a lake in my neighborhood. That’s a real pleasure to walk, and we would definitely do that. And, of course, I will send plenty of pictures and text updates.
