Pet care experience

Neighborhood Dogwalker :)

I have a family dog that has been around since my elementary school days, so I have experience taking care of him from both his time as a puppy and an elder currently! I walk my friend’s dog often and he’s a doggie with a whole bunch of energy. I have some extra time on my hands in between jobs and would love to help out where I can!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have an apartment with an no-pet policy, but I am open for pop-by to see your furry friend. I can make sure to refill their water bowl, give them some dinner, spend some time playing to make them feel some love, and hang out a little if they’ve been lonely all day.

Dog Walking • Jun 22, 2026

Marlena was able to fit me in for a last-minute dog walk. She was quick with responding to messages and sent several photos of my dog on the walk. My dog seemed very comforable with her.

Marlena has always been a kind and compassionate person. Not only has she acted this way for people, but for animals as well. Growing up with her and watching her take care of her new puppy showed me that she is responsible and caring. She now cares for her 16 year old dog with the utmost care.

There’s nobody I trust more than Marlena to take care of my dog, Pippin, when I’m out of town or need someone to walk him, while I’m at work. Pippin can be reactive towards other dogs, so knowing he is in good hands puts me at ease. She is dependable, follows instructions well, and most of all, my dog LOVES when she visits. Couldn’t recommend anyone more!
