Information Marlene M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s feeding routine, bathroom schedule, any allergies, how they do around other dogs, and whether they’re comfortable being alone for short periods. 🐾 The more I understand their needs and personality, the better I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 💛

A typical day

I spend most of the day at home, so pets get lots of companionship, attention, and supervision. 💛 We’ll go on regular walks around the neighborhood for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air, and I always make time for play, cuddles, and keeping their routine consistent. If your dog enjoys it, we’ll explore nearby safe walking areas for a bit of variety and stimulation 🌿🐕
