Safety, trust & environment

I only serve within House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and Dog Walking. I used to be Boarding at my house, but not this time. I always follow clients' rules for their pets, don't break their routine habits, and trust them.

Information Marlena R. would like to know about your pet

I am very open to any breed and any size! I would love to know what their dogs dislike, like, allergies, and medication, and it is essential for me to be aware of your dog's health and anything of information.

A typical day

Take to the dog park, hike, play with the toys, and spend time with your lovely pets. I will always love to take them for walking!

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 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 recordings prior to my agreement to stay in your home, as when I am at your house, to stay for an extended time.

Marlena & Spencer took wonderful care of our dog Gus over the weekend. We received multiple photo and video updates throughout each day and evening and had excellent communication with them the entire time. They took special care to make sure our dog received his daily medication as well. I would definitely reccomend them to anyone needing quality care for their pets.

Marlena and Spencer did a great job watching our two goldens. They were well taken care of and we got lots of pictures while we were away. Thank you both!

Marlena and Spencer went above and beyond for our animals and even shoveled the driveway for us after a big snow while we were gone! Our animals were happy and well cared for and we will use them again in the future. Thank you to you both! :)
