I work from home as a publisher with flexible hours (usually 7am–3pm), so I’m home most of the day 🏡 Being downtown makes it easy to step out for walks and potty breaks, and I have plenty of free time to give pets attention and care 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine!

I live in Uptown Seattle, just steps from the Seattle Center, in a cozy one-bedroom apartment with no roommates or pets 🌿 Since I work from home, I’m around all day to give pets plenty of attention and care 🐕💛 I also have a car for walks, outings, or even little road trips 🚗 When I house sit, I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own—keeping it clean, safe, and comfortable while you’re away 🫶

Information Marlene M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s feeding routine, bathroom schedule, if they can be left alone, any allergies, and how they do around other dogs 🐾 The more I know, the better I can keep them happy and comfortable 💛

A typical day

I’m a bit of a homebody, so I love spending my days relaxing with pets, keeping them company, and making sure they feel cozy and cared for 💛 Living downtown Seattle means we can take easy walks to the Seattle Center or stroll around the neighborhood for a little fresh air and fun 🌿🐕

Pet care experience

Please read before booking 💬 *ACCEPTING REQUESTS UNTIL JUNE ONLY!!!!!!!!!!* 🐶 Sí, hablo español. I work from home and have plenty of time to give pets love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m patient, dependable, and gentle with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies who need structure to older dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved as if they were my own ❤️

Marlene was wonderful. It was clear Jackson was well cared for during his stay. I received many photos of him and he was happy and having fun. Would definitely recommend.
