Pet care experience
Med Student & Loving Pet Sitter
Hi there! I'm a medical student looking to make some extra money while doing something I love—caring for pets! I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals. I also have hands-on experience caring for my elderly Newfoundland, so I understand the special care senior pets need. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, exploring new places, and going on walks, so your pets will get plenty of exercise and adventure! In addition to pet sitting, I’m happy to help with other tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. I have plenty of experience on Rover and in my personal life caring for animals, and I'm excited to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. If you have any special requests or needs, feel free to message me—I'm happy to be flexible and accommodate!

Ratings and reviews
Marlena is professional, responsible, prompt and efficient. She’s also very nice and our cat Rufus loves her. When she came to return our house key, he jumped off the windowsill and ran up to her. He never does that for us! 😃

Marlena did a fabulous job taking care of my two kitties for 10 days. She was extremely professional and treated the cats so well! Will definitely be hiring her again.


Marlena did an awesome job of taking care of my cat. Would definitely recommend her if you need somebody to take care of your pet :)
Marlena has done a great job watching my 2 cats while I’m out of town! I’d definitely book with her again!


Marlena stayed in our home for over a week to care for our one year old puppy and elderly cat. She was fantastic, and we would love to have her back! She was attentive to our long list of detailed instructions, and she took great care of our pets and our home. She was communicative when there were issues and checked in regularly when things were going well. We're very grateful and hope to have Marlena back next time we're away.


Marlena always does a great job with Nala!

Schedule
I am more than happy to accommodate your needs for your animal. My schedule can be a bit busy sometimes with medical school so timing may need to be flexible day to day!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to drop in on your animal / take them for a walk / feed them as many times during the day as you need. Additionally, I am willing to do any other tasks that need to be done while you are away. Just let me know.
Pets
A typical day
I’ll provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. Whether it's playing with your dog, going on walks, or offering your cat some quiet cuddle time, I’m committed to keeping them happy and comfortable. I’ll stick to their routines, ensure they’re fed on time, and respect their individual needs and boundaries. From administering medications to cleaning litter boxes, I’ll take care of everything, and most importantly, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved in your absence
