Information Marlene D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, or specific behaviors I should be aware of. Information about feeding routines, preferences, and energy level is also very helpful. My goal is to provide personalized care for each pet.

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, playtime, and mental stimulation activities. I enjoy keeping pets active and happy by exploring the neighborhood, visiting nearby parks, and engaging them with toys and games. I also make sure they have time to rest and feel relaxed.

Pet care experience

At home we have always had pets and that is why I have experience in their care. I have also taken care of relatives' pets from birth until they have become adults.

Marlene was great! She sent pictures of my dog and took him to the park for a day of fun! I really appreciate her kindness and flexibility. Would definitely book again for other times I need a sitter. Thanksn

Marlene was a good host to Bentley. We were gone for 8 days and she sent pictures and messages everyday. I would definitely use her again.

Marlene, was amazing. She took care of Harper for 5 days and kept us posted on how she was doing. Harper enjoyed her time with Marlene and we will definitely be back

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
