Pet care experience
DependabIe Dog, Cat, & Rabbit care
Hello! I provide dog, rabbit, & cat care and would be happy to help you and your famiIy. I’ve been involved with dogs all my life (Bassett hound, Cairn Terrier, & a Yellow Lab growing up), and I am the current proud parent of my American Field Lab (who loooves to run!) and my sweet rescue dog. I’m also the proud Mom of a middle-aged Mini Lop rescue rabbit who I adopted from the local shelter in 2024! My pet care experience began (very long ago!) in 8th grade for a Doodle, and professionally began during junior year of high school when I became a dog walker + sitter for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. My care services continued into college when I became a dog sitter/walker and boarder for WAG!, Care. Com website, and Iater, provided boarding and walking services to friends, family, and neighbors near and in my hometown. In addition to standard household pets, I have cared for chickens, chinchillas, hamsters, exotic fish, and parakeets as well. I am well-versed with dogs who have food/toy aggression, hunting dogs, high energy dogs, and large dogs. I would love to care for your furry friend and treat them like my own! Look forward to connecting ☺️

Safety, trust & environment
I am a very active individual and I am diligent about leashing/harnessing each dog I care for. I am a huge outdoor enthusiast and I will give your pup plenty of exercise! I also live less than a 5 minute walk from a fenced-in, lovely town dog park should you choose to want me to exercise your dog there! Additionally, I am a 10 minute drive to beautiful Old Orchard Beach if your dog loves the water, and I am in walking distance to the Eastern Trail (East Coast Greenway), with miles of paved and well-maintained walking and biking terrain.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you!
Marlena is fantastic! She sent me adorable pictures of my Bubba which brought a smile to my face during a long day of work. She took him on nice walks and even refilled his water bowl. Would absolutely book again!
Marlena was amazing! She put my mind as ease leaving my little guy alone with someone new, she provided great updates and photos, and my cat seemed relaxed and well cared for when I came back! 10/10 pet care!
Thank you SO much Marlena!! I came home to a calm and happy pup! My dog Sully is picky about people and this was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous but he immediately gravitated to Marlena and she did an amazing job with care! The updates were perfect and she snapped some great pictures. We will definitely love to continue to work with her :)
Thank you so so much for the absolute last minute request!!!!
Marlena is absolutely amazing. She takes her time and really enjoys being around animals. I love her patience with my boy, Tank since he’s older. She is prompt and thorough. 10/10⭐️

Schedule
I work remotely, so I have lots of flexibility to walk your dogs/let them out during the day, and I can provide extended drop-in visits (2-4 hours) whenever I am available for it! Contact me to see if we can make something work & I’m happy to do my best to fit you in, or refer you to an available sitter.
