Pet care experience

There is nothing better than a Pet!

I am available 7 days a week from 8am-10pm. Celebrating my 5th year with Rover. Canine & Feline first aid and CPR certified. I will leave you a diary from your pet when I sit, so you know how we got along and what your best friend was up to.This IS my full time job. I was a seasonal cast member at "Walt Disney World" and a Big Sister With "Big Brothers, Big Sisters" you can rest assured my background has been meticulously checked. My dog weight limitations are only for walking. If you are ok with letting your dogs out in your yard, then I am ok with any size dog. I have volunteered at Broward Humane Society for 4 years and 100+ Abandoned Dogs of Everglades Florida rescue for 3 years. I can also take in your mail and water your plants. I can feed, walk, clean up after, administer oral and injectable medication, give commands for treats, brush and give affection to your pet. I am fine with multiple pets. I have sat for dogs, birds, cats, bunnies and chinchillas too. I have references per request. I would prefer meeting with you (the owner) and the pet before I pet sit. You can fill me in on their favorite place to be pet, where they sleep etc. Photography is my hobby, so I'll take lots of cute photos of your pet. As an adult experienced pet owner and sitter I take watching your pet very seriously.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very careful upon entry, I have a gate in my car in case your pet is a “runner” I always supervise when let out in a yard. I use lights on your dog while walking at night and never a retractable leash.

Marlene has watched my cat multiple times over the years, and I always come home knowing that she was well taken care of.

Marlene took such wonderful care of my cat, Zizi, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Marlene also kept my home tidy and treated it with great respect. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that made being away so much easier. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of both Zizi and my home!

Marlene is wonderful with my boys! This is the 4th time we have used her services. One cat needs meds 2x a day and she is a pro getting him to take it! She arrives on time and interacts with them as much as they want along with feeding and scooping! Thank you Marlene!

Marlene was so great she brought a notebook to take notes while I walked her through everything with my animals. She also left me a note of everything they did in the eyes of my dog which I loved!!! Thank you!

Schedule

It is my full time job 7 days a week. I schedule around my regular clients and my own pets. I will ask how long your pet can be left alone to be sure I’m there when they need me.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Marlene can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if your pet has allergies, will go out in the rain and is afraid of noises (ex. thunder) what and where they eat and sleep. How do they get along with other dogs and people on walks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
