There is nothing better than a Pet!

Pet care experience

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.

Information Marlene P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

When pet sitting I will stay overnight in your home. Depending on the size of your pet I will make sure your pet is not alone more than a pre determined amount of hours. Your pet will leave you a diary. When dropping in I will feed, play, walk, give affection and brush. When walking, I have a light for night time, air horn for defense and a water bottle.
