For the love of Dogs

Pet care experience

I have always had dogs in my life, but it wasn’t until adulthood—when I welcomed two baby pitbulls into my home—that I truly learned what it means to care for them properly. These two loves of my life taught me so much. One developed diabetes, and I learned to administer injections twice a day. The other had a tumor on his prostate, which led to many pamper days. Through these experiences, I discovered how to ensure dogs remain happy and fulfilled, even through challenges and health issues. I share this to say that my love for dogs is immense, and I am dedicated to helping others care for their furry companions in every way possible.

Marlene was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while we were away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure my boys were well-fed, and, most importantly, gave them so much love, attention, and affection. She even stayed overnight one of the nights to ensure my senior cat, Mumu, received his medication on time, which meant so much to me. Caring for a pet with medical needs requires patience and dedication, and she handled everything flawlessly. It’s clear that Marlene genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. She went above and beyond, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and attentive, Marlene is the person to call. I would trust her with my boys again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Marlene, for taking such incredible care of Mumu and Speedy!

Marlene has been an absolute lifesaver. She always shows up on time, provides updates of her walk with our pup and is always willing to accommodate our schedule. She shows a genuine love for animals and knows how to handle our 60lb energetic rescue pittie. I am very happy to have peace of mind, knowing we can rely on her professional services.

Marlene was amazing! This was Chewie’s first time in a non doggy boarding setting and I believe he was way more comfortable. We received daily updates which put us at ease while we were away. I would definitely recommend Marlene if you’re traveling without your pup!
