I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, during the school year, which allows me to be available in evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active, and spending that time with dogs is a perfect fit for my lifestyle. I always follow each pet’s specific instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, extra attention, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾

Seguridad, confianza y entorno
I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment by making sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely regarding schedules, medications, routines, and behavior needs. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I monitor for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior and communicate updates with the owner as needed. I also keep litter boxes, cages, feeding areas, and walking equipment clean and sanitary. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. For cats and other pets, I make sure they receive appropriate feeding, enrichment, and a calm environment suited to their needs. Safety is always a priority, including secure doors, leashes, and supervision around other animals or hazards.

Before caring for any pet, it’s important for me to know key details in advance so I can provide the best care possible. This includes their feeding schedule, dietary needs, allergies, medical conditions, medications, and any behavioral traits such as anxiety, aggression, or separation issues. I also like to know their daily routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, and how they respond to new people or other animals. Understanding these details ahead of time helps me keep the pet safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine while their owner is away.
Un día normal
I enjoy keeping pets active, engaged, and comfortable based on their personality and energy level. Activities can include walks, fetch, tug-of-war, playing with toys, outdoor time, treat puzzles, basic reinforcement training, cuddle time, and plenty of attention and companionship. For calmer or older pets, I focus more on gentle play, brushing, relaxation, and keeping them comfortable. I also like providing mental stimulation through games, sniff walks, and interactive toys to help prevent boredom and stress while their owners are away.

Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
Animals have always been part of my life—starting with the Dobermans I helped raise as a kid and even a pet pig who thought he was one of the dogs. I’ve worked in the veterinary field, where I learned to safely give medications, handle pets of all temperaments, and notice the small details that keep them healthy and happy. I’ve also worked at Petco, caring for everything from fish and birds to reptiles and small mammals, and I regularly help my neighbor with her pup for walks and playtime. My family has a long history of fostering animals for a local rescue, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, gentle company, or extra care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.🐾
Reseñas
Marlena was amazing with my dog axel! I was pretty nervous doing it because I've only ever left axel with family but marlena sent me pictures daily and updates which made me feel so much better about it. I would definitely let axel stay with her and her family again
Marlena was very accommodating, and Bailey fit right in during the meet and greet. Bailey had a wonderful time and was well taken care of. If I need a dog boarder, I will definitely be looking to Marlena.
Marlena is the best and treats my fur baby like her own!
Marlena is a caring and loving woman to our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!
