Pet care experience

Love for pets, Peace for you.

I grew up in a household full of love for animals, and that passion was passed down to me. I’ve raised many dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pet as part of the family — loved, cared for, and spoiled with affection. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels happy and safe while you’re away.

Dog Walking • May 21, 2026

Very considerate! Tended to last minute request. Dogs were let out walked and put back away and home locked when leaving. Really appreciated the help. Communicated throughout the whole process I wasn’t home at the time so it was nice being notified when she got there and walked them even got some photos of them playing at a dog park near by and notified when she left.

Marlene went way above and beyond when my dog got free. She posted to local social media and was frequently checking in with me on her status. She's a remarkable, dedicated caring lady. The team at Rover were equally as phenomenal, putting all their resources together to get the word out and support me at a very stressful time. I can't commend enough Marlene and the team of caring, dedicated pros at Rover!

I had a very last minute booking and Marlene was able to help me out with checking on my girl. She gave me plenty of updates after her visits!

Marlene took care of my home and my two dogs, Freddie and Bella, for nearly a week while my family and I were out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She not only kept my home spotless, but she also gave my dogs so much love and attention—it was clear they were in great hands. She made sure they were well fed, cared for, and comfortable, and she kept me updated regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It truly meant a lot to know everything back home was being handled so thoughtfully. Marlene is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares. She will always be my first choice whenever we need someone to care for our home and our fur babies. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Marlene possesses exemplary qualities for working with pets. Her patience, understanding and kindness toward animals are unmatched. She has three cats and one dog of her own, all of whom are showered with love and affection. She also maintains an active, uplifting atmosphere and participates in lots of play to insure physical and mental needs are met. She engages with animals on their terms, allowing space and time for warming up when meeting a new pet. She would be an excellent addition to your team.

Marlene is AMAZING. She is one of the most honest, hardworking, reliable people I know. She has such a big heart and loves animals. She will give your fur-babies all the love they can get while you are away.

Schedule

I’m a mom raising three boys, so caring for others is just part of my day — pets included! I have a flexible schedule and can fit walks, visits, or overnight stays into my routine easily. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, pets have plenty of space to explore and play! I have a huge, partially fenced yard, and we live off a quiet dirt road with a pond and private walking trails. We can go leashed or unleashed, whatever your pet prefers. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to take walks, play, or just enjoy fresh air with your pets. If I’m caring for them at your home, I always follow your rules and routines to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
