Love is an action word!

Pet care experience

I am a Believer/Educator/Group Fitness Instructor and fur mom of 2 looking to help others where and whenever/however I can. I have served as a pet-sitter for Rover in Houston and New York City since 2015, and I genuinely have a heart for caring for animals and people. I lead with compassion, integrity, consistency, and transparency always! I can guarantee you your pet will be safe, well taken care of, entertained, and surrounded by two loving companions of my own - Nala and Q-Tip. I will treat your pet as though they're my own. I I DO CRATE all pets (my own and guests) when I’m away at work, and I have a variety of kennel sizes, leashes, feeding bowls, dog treats, etc. I am pretty prepared, but feel free to pack whatever makes your pet most comfortable. I walk my own pets 2-3x/day (morning, late afternoon, and late night). My home is peaceful and pet friendly. There is no carpet in my home if in case accidents happen, and I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes.

Excellent! Marlene was a great host, very easy to coordinate with and sent great updates. My dog also seemed to get along very well with hers. He came home happy. We'd definitely consider Marlene again.

Marlene is amazing with my dog, Charlotte. Her two little pups are playful and respectful and have become Charlotte's favourite doggie friends! I live in the same neighbourhood as Marlene and it's a wonderful dog paradise. The park nearby is great for walking and it's a quiet, chill place. Marlene is wonderful with sending pictures during the stay and is attentive to any concerns that might arise with your dog during their time with her. I always recommend Marlene to my friends for dog sitting.

Marlene was a wonderful carer for our energetic Boston terriers. She constantly kept me informed sending videos and pictures of their times together. She lives in a area that was very dog friendly so he made a lot of friends. Will definetly contact her again in the future. You can rest a sure that your little pupper will be fine with Marlene.
