Highlights
Pet care experience
Big dogs = four legged children
I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years total where I learned how to train dogs from Kathy Sadao who used to train the wales to relinquish the bombs for the Navy. I have owned large and XL breed dogs my whole life as well. I will treat your dog like a human child as they will be allowed on my furniture, my bed, and probably my kids beds as well. I have a little over 10 acres for them to play on. We are starting a small farm style residents and would love to shower your fur babies with love and attention. Since starting Rover, 90% of my clients are returning, and become part of our family as well. I have trained people’s dogs in the time I have had them along with help manage dogs anxiety’s to different things. I helped a water aggressive dog become no longer water aggressive. A dog who pulled on a leash so hard you couldn’t walk him to now, my 6 year old son walks him with no worries. As much as my family loves to play with and cuddle your 4 legged babies we also love to help you out by training them if we can.

Waylyn stayed with Marlena while we went to Mount rainier and she had so much fun! Lots of yard space and fun pups!
Bruno had a great time playing with Fin! Marlena was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you!
I am very happy that my boy had such a good time with Marlena's group. If I'm ever in the area again, I know where to go! :)
Marli takes such great care of our doggies while we are away, the dogs are part of the family and are loved and taken care of. Thank you!! Gertie and Lou told me they love staying at your house too!
Our dog Murphy always loves Marlena’s house. Treated like part of the family, she gives her lots of cuddles, treats and outdoor time. She’s often home and spends time making sure all the dogs play well together.
Marli took such good care of my babies treating them as her own. Would highly recommend!!

Schedule
I have plenty of time for all pet care needs to be met. I am a stay at home mom, but all my kids now go to school so your fur babies will have all my attention most of the time during the week.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, very safe neighborhood, loving high energetic family, big house, 10 acres, and I have worked at an animal hospital in the past I can tell if something is wrong with your dog. If you would like I love sending pictures and videos as well.
Pets
A typical day
Normal days are cuddles with the whole family on which ever bed they choose to sleep in that night. During school we drop my little guy off at school your dog is welcome to come or stay home either works as I have a large suburban. Then they can help me with farm chores outside and or a walk. I use the time alone with out my kids for training if needed. Lots of cuddles and 1 on 1 time during the day. Playing outside or inside. This is also a great time for brushing long haired dogs too. Once I pick up the kids the energy level is high so we definitely play hard and lots of excitement when the kids get home as they are animal lovers like there mom. We typically go outside and play sports with the kids and dogs as all my kids play sports. Then cook dinner and high energy dogs we all take on walks. Low energy dogs enjoy a movie with us in the family room where they get to choose any 5 of our laps to cuddle with.
