Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy walks, plays and cuddles
I enjoy outdoor activities, especially walking rather than running, and I love bringing your dog with me on those adventures. Even if zoomies are on the menu, watching ducks is welcome too.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
While dog walking is my main thing, I'm open to overnight stays once we've all gotten comfortable with each other - whether that's having your furry friend come stay at my place or me staying at yours. I really believe in building genuine relationships with both pets and their families. Every dog is different, and I take time to learn their personality, their favorite spots to sniff, whether they're social butterflies or prefer quieter walks. It's so rewarding when you see that moment a dog starts getting excited because they recognize you! For overnight care, trust is everything. I only offer this after we've built that bond through regular walks and both you and your dog feel completely comfortable with me. Some dogs do better in their own space with all their familiar smells and routines, while others love the adventure of a "sleepover" somewhere new. The best part about being newly available is that I can really focus on each dog's needs without rushing. Whether it's a leisurely morning walk, playing in the yard, or just being a calm presence while you're away, I'm here for whatever makes your pup happiest and gives you peace of mind. I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your furry family member is having a great time and is in loving hands!
Ratings and reviews
Marlena took great care of Lulu, and she left the house looking great, too.
Marlena - is a great communicator, great with Roger and very professional. I would hire her again and again

Marlena was a pleasure to work with! She was prompt, kind, and our dog, Charlie, was so excited to see her! We would definitely hire Marlena again!
Marlena was fantastic! My dog literally got the zoomies when she was around. Would rehire in a heartbeat.

Schedule
With my schedule suddenly wide open after today, pet care has actually become a welcome anchor to my day. Without the structure of work, having a dog creates natural rhythm - morning walks, feeding times, and those afternoon adventures we might not have had time for before. Right now, I'm thinking this could be an opportunity to really focus on my four-legged companion's needs in ways I couldn't when I was tied to a work schedule. Those longer hiking trails I've been wanting to explore, training sessions we've put off, or just more quality time outdoors together - suddenly it's all possible. The daily walks will probably become the backbone of my routine while I figure out what's next. There's something grounding about having a creature depend on you for their exercise and care, especially during a transition like this. It keeps you moving forward, literally and figuratively. I'm curious to see how this change affects our bond too. More time together might mean discovering new trails, new parks, maybe even new activities we both enjoy. It's one of those silver linings - unemployment is stressful, but at least my walking partner is going to get the adventure-filled days they deserve.
