Marlene was terrific with Daisy. She went out of her way to make her feel comfortable. She also provided me with regular text messages and pics. We came home to a very happy and spoiled pup!

Marlene is an amazing sitter. We brought our beagle for sitting the weekend of our daughter's wedding. The dog had never been out of our family's care before and we were concerned about how he would react. Marlene made him feel right at home. She kept us updated with messages and pictures. What we saw we couldn't believe, he was so well behaved we thought it was a different dog. I would HIGHLY recommend Marlene for any needs you may have with your dog. I can't say enough about how great she is!!!

Winston had another wonderful stay with Marlene for 5 overnights. Marlene's communication is excellent and we are so thankful to how attentive she is to our Winston while he is in her care. Marlene provides daily updates and pictures of Winston and it means the world to us!

First time we left our pup over night. He can be a bit finicky but he took very well to Marlene because of the attention she gave him. She has plenty of dog toys and snacks which I’m sure also helped him adjust. She also shared updates on how he was doing which helped me relax about leaving him. Would highly recommend.

Marlene had our dog Winston for 13 days in her home while were on vacation. As agreed upon, she provided daily updates and pictures of Winston and paid close attention to how he adjusted while under her care. We could tell that Winston was at ease at Marlene’s and she went out of her way to make her home comfortable for him. We would not have been able to have the awesome vacation we did if we did not have the peace of mind that Winston was being well-cared for. We are thankful to have connected with Marlene and will definitely plan to book with her again!
