Marlene, Miguel, and their family were fantastic to work with! We boarded our pup last minute, over a holiday, and Marlene was super accommodating. This was our first time using Rover and Marlene made it easy. She was great about sending pictures and putting our minds at ease. Her own two dogs are very sweet and friendly—our guy had no issues being part of their pack. Highly recommend ☺️

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care you provided to Sydney during my recent trip. Your dedication and attention to detail truly made a difference, and I am incredibly grateful for the peace of mind knowing that Sydney was in such capable hands. Your updates and the photos you shared were not only reassuring but also greatly appreciated. I would wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dogsitter. Your passion for animals and the genuine care you demonstrated for have made a lasting impression on me. Thank you once again for your outstanding care. Best regards, Randi Green

You could not ask for a better dog sitter than Marlene. She clearly loves dogs. She did such a great job that my dog was not that excited to see me! lol I will definitely be using her again.

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.
