Pet care experience
I cared for my family's golden retriever Daisy from the ages of 12-18. I took her on daily walks and runs, kept her fed, and cleaned up after her, and we formed an extremely close bond. I haven't stopped missing her since leaving home for college, and would love to someday have a dog myself. I take any chance I get to dog sit for friends and family. Over weekends I've dogsat my grandparent's pug, and have also cared for my neighbor's mixed breed puppy (now a full-grown dog). I have also watched my friend's cats, if you have cats as well. (I also had cats growing up and love them as well.) In addition to my dog sitting experience, I have extensive babysitting experience. I have nannied two children full-time over the course of two summers, and cared for a variety of children ages 0-12. As a responsible babysitter I ensured the children were happy and well-cared for, they received the proper food, received their medication in a timely manner, and ensured the house remained clean and well-cared for. I will do the same dog sitting. I fall in love with any dog I meet and would love to meet and care for your dog! I can provide references. I'm very active and can take your dogs on runs or walks; I can play with them at parks or in the backyard. I also enjoy hanging out around the house. I look forward to meeting you! My apartment will work for small to medium sized dogs, but at your house I can dogsit dogs of any size. I work 9-5 on weekdays but am available before work, during my lunch hour, and after work.
Reviews
Marlene was excellent. One of our dogs is a bit anxious around new people, but she took to Marlene immediately and looked very happy in the pictures we received.
I have known Marlene for 9 years now and can testify that she is extremely responsible and considerate. She also loves animals and would make a wonderfully caring and affectionate caregiver for a beloved dog. Marlene lavishes love and care on her own childhood dog, Daisy, and I know she would do the same for any pet. I give her my highest recommendation!
Marlene loves dogs! She would be a great caregiver to anyone's canine companion. I also know from her work as a babysitter that she is very reliable, timely, and responsible.
Marlene is a responsible, enthusiastic, sincere individual and, above all, a huge dog lover. Over the past ten years of being her friend, I have witnessed her interact with my family's dog with gentle affection, heard her talk about her own family's dog with reverence, and have seen her eyes light up at each passing dog on the street!

I love all types of dogs, really! I grew up with a golden retriever but have cared for many types of dogs since then--mixed breeds, poodles, pugs, great danes. I love all breeds and sizes and would look forward to meeting your dog.
A typical day
I will take your dogs on as many walks and runs a day as you request. I will play with your dog and ensure they are well taken care of. I will take your advice in terms of where to take your dog on walks. I work 9-5pm, but can walk your dog before I leave for work, during my lunch hour, and after work. On weekends my schedule is more open.
