Pet care experience

I’m very great with people and animals. Also, I grew up with many different breeds of dogs since I was a kid, and my mother does Pitbull Rescue and Foster. I have cared for puppies and adult dogs. My place is big enough for your pets to play and run, and there is a nice yard for your dogs to play around, exercise, playtime, and cuddle. Also, I would love to give them extra love and take them to a dog park with your permission. I would do anything for your pets. I will make this excellent for your pets. I’m very willing to do anything with what you need from me. If you have any questions, please ask, and I will answer them as soon as possible. I hope I will have the chance to take care of your pets. I do require that your pet is current on vaccines and is healthy. All owners, please note: it is illegal to audio record someone without their knowledge and consent. It is unlawful to place audio and video recording devices in places in your home where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, including bathrooms and bedrooms. I ask that you make me aware of any video and audio recording prior to my agreement to stay in your home, as when I am at your house to stay for an extended period of time, I deserve the right to know if there is a hidden camera in the living room so if I left my phone downstairs when I am about to take a shower or something, I know if it is safe to run down real quick to grab it or if I need to be fully clothed whenever going downstairs.

Marlena stayed at our house with our pets for what was supposed to be a 4-day trip and ended up being 5 days due to travel complications. She was such a lifesaver staying the extra day with no notice at all. Her communication is great and she sends multiple pics of the pets a day. She left the house clean and I could tell our pup was very happy throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!

Once Atticus was over his dog shyness(lol), he was happy to have her and she is so patient. I will use her over and over again. Thank you.

Marlena is wonderful. Not only did she take great care of our boy Boh, but she agreed to help with. our daughter's dog when a last minute sitter cancellation occurred.We received lots of pictures and videos. During the stay our AC stopped working. Marlena was extremely helpful and flexible when dealing with the repair guy.We certainly plan to ask her come back next time. She's the best!
