Every pup wins at Lae’s Doggy Den!

Pet care experience

Hi, I am Lae; I regularly foster dogs for a local rescue and would love to welcome your pet to a loving and fun environment where he can get lots of socialization and even more TLC! I started out taking care of family pets and now that has blossomed into me helping rescue pups get ready for their forever home. I have a great deal of experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands and lease training; I also have experience working with service animals, senior dogs, and pups with separation and crate anxiety. I have cared for dogs as small as teacup Chihuahuas and Yorkies, as energetic as German Shepards and Siberian Husky’s and a few couch potato hounds in between. I treat the fur babies as if they were my own… We start the morning off early with potty breaks and breakfast, and morning walks/playtime to jumpstart the day. I’m home during the day studying and will always be there to supervise and take young pups out for frequent breaks. I have 3 adorable and hilarious pups with a fenced backyard that will keep your fur baby entertained! I can crate your pup if needed, as well as I can work with them on anything that you may want me to, as far as leash training, potty training, socialization and practicing good doggy manners.

Very nice! Regularly kept me updated with pictures and video. My dog was exhausted after his week long stay, and I'm sure it is because Marlena kept him active.

Marlena was a great caregiver for my dog Prince! She sent plenty of pics and videos and reassured me he was in great hands. We will definitely book her again.

Kernel had an awesome time! Marlena was so kind, flexible with a last minute request, responsive and sent pictures all weekend. When he came home, he went right to sleep. He had a ball!!!

Marlena was the most communicative Rover I've ever had (and I've used a lot of Rovers)! I received LOTS of pictures and videos of my dog having fun and playing and eating. My dog is very anxious and they worked with his anxious habits with care!

Information Marlena G. would like to know about your pet

I have experience working with pups that have anxiety, but it would be helpful to know what special needs and behaviors that I may be able to help account for. I do not prefer to work with dogs who are aggressive, as I have other dogs in the home; as well as dogs who are extremely strong and pull excessively on the leash. If you are unsure whether or not your dog is too strong and way out of control to handle, feel free to reach out to schedule a meet & greet!

A typical day

I can help to give your pup as much or as little exercise as they need… We can go for short walks down my cul de sac, a 2-mile walk around the circle that enters into my community, play time in the backyard, and even indoor games and activities inside my home.
