Dog and cat owner. I understand.

Pet care experience

Compassionate dog owner focused on providing the best animal care possible. I bring some medical knowledge from coursework in veterinary studies and from working at a vet clinic for 2 years. My background consists of: Attending workshops about animal behavior, fostering when needed and experience in grooming! I consider myself responsable and reliable. Caring for your pet is not only my job but also my favorite thing to do! A wise person once said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Excellent communication. She sent pictures of my dog relaxing in the a/c on a 106 degree day. Marlene is likable and relaxed and seems to have a great bit of knowledge on dogs. I would 100% book her again.

Our dogs had a great weekend with Marlene! She provided us with updates and made sure ask the right questions about their dietary needs. Couldn’t recommend more!

Marlene was very sweet with us. Her response was always timely and very welcoming. For a day care stay she sent really nice pics as well. I wish I have her near I live- I am passing through SA but if I live near her I would bring my furry kids all the care we need.

Information Marlene U. would like to know about your pet

I don't have breed preferences; I love small dogs as much as I love big dogs. It would only be necessary to know what their personality is like, if it has attacked someone before and of course what bothers him/her.

A typical day

I HAVE A BACKYARD. I am not sure why Rover continues to say I do not. My dogs are social and playful pups, but know boundaries when meeting a less active/shy dog. If your pet isn’t as energetic and you would prefer for them to be indoors please let me know, we're also known for loving naps.
