A typical day

I have a set morning routine including a morning walk for myself or your pets when booked with me. I have a few breaks in the day where I have treats and potty breaks and play with the toys. Then before dinner I always take them to the back yard for play time. After dinner it’s best to walk them for a poop.

Marlena is super kind and caring. She cared for Zadie like her own and sent us daily video and picture updates. Great with her communication. Zadie loves being with her. We are very thankful! Your fur-babies are in great company with Marlena ❤️

Marlena was awesome with our dog. Sent pictures and videos while we were gone for 11 days. Chester seemed very happy. Would highly recommend Marlena!

Marlena is the epitome of a professional who cares for all animals. When a dog sitter left me in a lurch before a big trip, she stepped up with very short notice and provided the most amazing care to all my fur babies. She is patient, communicative, and above all else caring and kind. I could not have asked for a better person to step up in my time of need and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook if our schedules realigned.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
