Compassionate & Reliable Pet Care.

Pet care experience

Hi there! :) 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! My professional pet care experience started in high school when I was a dog walker & sitter for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel until senior year. My professional care continued into college when I became a dog sitter/walker and boarder for WAG!, Care. Com website, and later, provided boarding and walking services to friends, family, and neighbors near and in my hometown. In addition to dogs, I have cared for cats and chickens 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! Looking forward to connecting! ☺️

Absolutely amazing service. My pup was so happy to see her every time. Many photos and great communication. Made leaving my pet easy no matter how hard it was to leave him. High recommend Marlena. And will be using her help every time I need some help.

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.

Information Marlena M. would like to know about your pet

Contact me about any special needs/restrictions/notices you want me to be aware of regarding your dog. I have prior experience caring for senior/elderly dogs, and it would be a huge help to know the dogs preferred routine if that’s the case for your pet!

A typical day

As the owner of a high energy hunting lab, I am well-versed in giving dogs plenty of exercise. I love to jog/run, and I live close to the Saco River, multiple beaches, and an abundance of walking/hiking trails. I can walk or jog with your dog, take them to the dog park, and I also have plenty of toys/tennis balls to utilize if your dog enjoys those! My black lab will also accompany your pup as she has boundless energy.
