Will provide lots of TLC

Pet care experience

HI THERE, I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH YOUR FUR BABY FOR YOU! I WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH LOTS OF TLC WHILE YOU'RE GONE SO THEY DON'T MISS YOU SO MUCH! I do own a small dog I adopted from one of my dog sitting clients. She is very dog friendly but if your dog isn't friendly, I can keep her apart. If your dog has any behavioral issues like chewing Please let me know ahead of time so that I know how to handle them. I had a dog destroy my apartment and chew everything up while I was sleeping. The owner didn't tell me he had separation anxiety and they did not provide a kennel. PLEASE let me know if your pet has behavioral issues. I only dog sit fully potty trained doggies! I LIVE IN A SMALL/MED APARTMENT ON THE 3RD FLOOR SO OLDER DOGGIES WITH ARTHRITIS OR SUPER HYPER DOGS ARE NOT A GOOD MATCH. I DO TAKE WALKS DAILY (WEATHER PERMITTING) ON A TRAIL NEXT TO MY APARTMENT. I'M AN ANIMAL LOVER THAT WAS RAISED WITH AN ANIMAL LOVING FAMILY IN A RANCH. I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH FARM ANIMALS, REPTILES AND CATS. I ALSO FARM AND HOUSE SIT. I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH A LOT OF BREEDS OF DOGS FROM CHIHUAHUAS, POODLES TO BULLDOGS AND PITS. I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH PUPPIES TO SENIOR DOGS. JUST LOOK AT MY PICS, THAT'S JUST SOME OF THE DOGGIES I'VE CARED FOR. I DO WORK RANDOM OFFICE HOURS (MOSTLY FROM HOME) VOLUNTEER AT AAC &TAKE 1 CLASS. THAT TAKES BETWEEN 2-6HRS A DAY SO YOUR BABY WILL HARDLY BE ALONE! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION, PLEASE MESSAGE ME. ***YOUR DOG MUST BE UTD ON SHOTS AND DEWORMING. YOUR DOG MUST BE FLEA AND TICK FREE. YOUR DOG MUST BE POTTY TRAINED PLEASE! **** MY RATES DO GO UP ON WINTER/RAIN SEASONS AND GO BACK DOWN DURING HOT/WARM WEATHER. IF YOU'RE ONE OF MY REGULARS PLEASE MESSAGE ME TO WORK ON PRICE. IF YOU CANT AFFORD MY RATES, DO MESSAGE ME, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK WITH YOU. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, PLEASE PAY FULL PRICE, KEEP IN MIND ROVER TAKES 20% OF WHAT WE CHARGE YOU. ***PLEASE BRING YOUR DOG'S COLLAR, LEASH, BED AND FOOD. I DO HAVE DOG BOWLS AND TOYS BUT IF YOU WANT YOUR DOG TO USE ITS OWN, PLEASE BRING THEM. I DONT USUALLY CRATE DOGS UNLESS REQUESTED BY OWNER SO IF CRATING IS REQUIRED, PLEASE BRING THE CRATE (I DON'T OWN ONE)

Just realized I never left a review. This person LOST MY DOG. And did not contact me about it, I had to confront her when the shelter who found my dog contacted me. When the shelter found Durian, he had his leash on him, I don't know how she lost him. He was soaking wet. It was in the winter and my dog is only 9 lbs. I get that everyone makes mistakes but be careful about who you trust with your dog's safety.

Marlene was a total sweetheart and worked with our horrible schedules and our flight back home being delayed! Ollie definitely has a great time over the holidays with her and she sent regular updates on how he was doing! Even got him a Christmas gift, which he hasn’t put down since coming home! We will definitely use her again whenever we’re out of town!
