Pet care experience
Hi there! 😊 I’ve been around 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! ☺️
Reviews
Marlena is always super responsive, thoughtful, and attentive. Finn loves the drop in visits and walks!
Marlena is the best! My pittie and rottie love when she comes to pick them up for a walk. She treats them like family and brings them on great adventures. She is communicative, responsible and kind. Would trust her any day with my fur babies.
My dog Winston did great with Marlena! She was super communicative and Winston loved her.
Marlena is top notch! So flexible and helpful wuth scheduling and Maggie loves her!

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.
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.
