Dog Mom for Life

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve been passionate about animals since a young age. All my life I’ve had either dogs or cats and been caring for family’s pets.

Marlena was great!! Very prompt and responsive! She provided thoughtful and thorough updates about her visits. We would be happy to have her check on our pup again sometime.

Marlena was so great with Gertie! She lots of pictures and updates and we could tell that she was very well taken care of. Marlena was also flexible when we wanted to switch from her watching Gertie at our house to boarding her at Marlena’s house. Will definitely use Marlena again!!

Information Marlena K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements or needs that I should be aware of. I recently had a German shepherd who was very protective, suffered from separation anxiety, and high energy. Prior to that I had rescued an abused Dalmatian. & have worked with local trainers such as John Jones and Kris Hopkins. So I’m very use to working with difficult or tempered dogs.

A typical day

I love to go for hikes or just long walks. Recently moved to boalsburg area and enjoy exploring the trails behind my house. I’ve grown up with larger dogs so I’m familiar with the energy demands that it requires.

I do work full time for Penn State University. Although it is a typical eight hour shift. I am a very active individual-so early morning walks are a typical part of my day!
