Pet care experience
Happiness is a dog's tail wagging
Hello! My name is Marlena! I hope I can help provide you with the quality of care and trust you are searching for when seeking out a sitter. I sincerely believe that dogs really do make life better! I have experienced first hand how dogs can change someone's life. Their happiness is truly contagious. I understand the responsibilities that having a dog entails and that sometimes we need help as pet parents! That's where I come in. I am here to offer my services to help provide you with ease of mind while you are away, or simply whenever you might need. Aside from being a dog lover, I also have experience as a professional groomer. It means the most to me to make sure that your dog is in good company while you are away. I am originally Midwest grown from Chicago. I recently moved to New Jersey from Hawaii, and previously resided in Alaska before that! I am happy to be here making furry friends along the way of my travels. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm here and happy to help any way I can for your furry one :)
Qualifications

I feel that pets are most comfortable in their own home! Your pet’s happiness and safety are my number one priorities. By allowing me to help your loved one in your home, I will provide the best of care and respect.
Ratings and reviews
Marlena is the best! Great communication and very reliable! Pups loved her.


Marlena was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the experience better than we could have imagined. She was incredibly responsive, answered all of our questions, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Marlena took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures throughout the stay. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We would highly recommend Marlena to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and exceptional pet sitter!

This is the 3rd time we hired Marlena. She takes excellent care of Sammy.

Worth every penny!

Marlena was great. She did what needed to be done plus more. Sammy needs to be carried up and down the stairs and she took great care to do that. This is the 2nd time we hired Marlena and would definitely hire her again.

Marlena was great with our dog Pepper who can be somewhat nervous and reactive. She sent updates and pictures after both visits!! Thanks Marlena 😊
