Pet Advocate, Volunteer and Nanny

I have the experience to help your pet feel safe & loved, and they will perceive me as Aunty Mar 🤗. I walked dogs at the NSPCA, fostered and cared for cats at Homeward Bound (PetSmart), Vets For Abandoned Pets and currently help at dog adoption events for Pawsitive Difference, occasionally fostering if I do not have a Rover dog.

Marlene is a top tier pet sitter! So communicative from start to finish. I wish she could be my pet sitter everywhere! She took notes on my instructions when I got there, showed me around, and made sure my dog got comfortable before I left. Lots of pictures and videos while I was away, and Lucy LOVED the signature golf cart rides that come with Marlene's pet sitting service. 12/10 recommend!!

Our first Rover experience and it was exceptional! I think our pup enjoyed being with Marlene more than us! Thank you so much for the adorable pics. We can’t wait to ask Marlene again to watch our bundle of joy.

Thank you, Marlene for keeping my fur-baby company while the humans gallivanted Las Vegas! You helped me have a worry free birthday trip with your open and constant communication. The pictures were a reassuring bonus. There are souls out there that are meant to care for and share their love with others, and you embody it! I appreciate your hospitality to Asher and us! Hope our paths cross again!

Marlene was the best… professional, friendly and expert care. Bella had a great time, and Marlene was very loving to our little girl. Lots of great pictures and updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her to all pet lovers. Bella can’t wait for her next visit.

Schedule

I am retired and enjoy taking walks, golf cart rides, watching movies and puttering around the house with a "helper" 😁. I do not seem to be able to force dogs into crates 😂 at night. I'm sorry if this is a deal breaker for you. I will text you pics of your pet (s) vacation. 🏖

Safety, trust & environment

In Sun City Summerlin, I have many grassy dog parks to take your leashed dog to. I don't let your dog interact with others to insure safety. I provide filtered RO water. I don't believe in overfeeding and your overweight pup may even loose a little weight in our fun, active home. It is no problem to give pills, liquid medication and eye meds as I have done this in rescue work.

A typical day

We'll go on plenty of walks at my house! We'll also go on golf cart rides and stop at one of the 6 parks with grass; all the dogs are on-leash.

I can give meds, eye drops and teeth brushing. I can give older dogs a lift into my car or golf cart for a ride. My home does not have stairs. I escort your dog outside many times a day and my yard has a 3 foot fence.
