Information Marlena L. would like to know about your pet

Before each stay, I kindly ask pet parents to share important details about their pet, including confirmation that vaccinations are up to date, feeding schedules, potty break routines, and any medical needs such as medications, dosages, and timing. Please also let me know about allergies, behavioral quirks, fears, training cues, and comfort preferences. The more I know about your pet’s routine and needs, the better I can provide safe, personalized, and loving care.

A typical day

Our day starts with morning potty breaks, feeding, and gentle playtime. We’ll take relaxing walks around the neighborhood and enjoy fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and companionship, along with fun activities like fetch and interactive toys. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines while feeling safe and loved. In the evening, we’ll wind down with more playtime, dinner, and cozy snuggles before bedtime. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around animals and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I’m a responsible, dependable sitter who truly enjoys spending time with pets. Since I work part-time, I’m home most of the time and able to give your furry friends plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles.
