Information Marlena U. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything unique about your pet to take into consideration such as reactivity to other dogs, not wanting to be pet, likes certain toys, etc. so I can provide the best possible care for your animal!

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

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a medical student currently on break and 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!

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.
