Pet care experience

Vet Assistant & Animal Lover :)

I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I've also been a veterinary assistant going on 9 years now! I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, feeding, medicating, and walking dogs. I also have a lot of experience working with special needs patients, specific medical conditions and administering medications to your pet. I’m also very patient and understanding with spicy pets as well. I can take care of them all - from puppies and kittens to senior friends as well. Much experience in administering love & butt scratches. :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have my own pets at home so I prefer to take care of your babies at your own home! I have lots of experience with strict medication schedules and routines. My own doggies have a schedule which still allows me room to care for your babies as well. :) I like to set up meet and greets to go over care instructions and routines.

Even though our cats are antisocial and will run and hide, Marlene is great and still tries to be friends with them.

Marlene went above and beyond caring for my two kittens! She did a great job with communicating and sending plenty of photos and videos throughout her visits. I was sure my pets were in good hands! Thank you so much:)

Marlene, as always you took amazing care of our cat, and definitely let us know how she is doing. This really gives us piece of mind and allows us to enjoy our time away.

Marlene is amazing with Snowshoes Siamese cat. The cat (Norma Jean) is a handful for us but i know when we leave her in the hands of Marlene that it is like leaving her with a family member. We know she will be well taken care of and her needs met. It truly gives us peace of mind that she is being cared for so we can enjoy out time away.

This was the first time that we had Marlene, watch out cat. I would say she was very professional and worked well to engage her as she (NJ) is very skittish. I appreciated her making sure we were in the know and gaining the cats trust as I know this is a hard thing to do. I definitely will be setting up future sittings for future trips as I am confident, she will be well taken care of.

Important information for me to know is any medical conditions your pet may have. Any special care or medications they might need. Any stimulators or triggers your pet might have is also important for me to know, such as anxiety, leash or animal aggression.
