Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Marlena and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and truly understand the joy, love, and responsibility that comes with being a pet owner. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply giving belly rubs, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience with all sizes and temperaments, and I’m confident in handling everything from high-energy pups to senior dogs who just want a little extra love. If you’re looking for someone dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals—I’m your person!

Remy enjoyed staying with Marlena and her pup. She followed our requests and Remy seemed very happy when we picked him up!

Marlena was kind and understanding of our pup! She respected our schedule and boundaries and provided the highest quality of care.

Information Marlena V. would like to know about your pet

Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure your pup feels as comfortable and happy as possible while they’re with me! Please let me know about any routines, quirks, favorite toys, or specific needs your dog has—like feeding schedules, medication, leash behavior, or how they do around other dogs or people. I’m also happy to accommodate special instructions or preferences. The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them like you would!

A typical day

Since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks to get their energy out, midday play breaks, or just being nearby for cuddles and companionship, your pup will never feel alone. I follow your pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, potty breaks, medication if needed—and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I truly enjoy spending my day with dogs, and your pet will get my full focus and affection while you’re away!
