Availability

I work full-time during the weekdays, so I’m available for pet care after 5:30 PM on weekdays, and throughout the weekend. This makes me a great fit for evening walks, dinner-time drop-ins, weekend visits, and vacation care. I keep my availability calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while giving every pet the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before every booking so I can provide care that’s tailored to their needs. I’ll always treat your home with respect, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and double-check that food, water, and any medications or instructions are followed carefully. During every visit, I’ll send photo updates and a summary so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I believe trust is built through reliability, communication, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover providing dependable care for both dogs and cats in the Short Pump/Glen Allen area. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re at work, out for the evening, or away on vacation. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pet by following their routine, giving them plenty of attention, and keeping you updated every step of the way. I currently offer care in the evenings, and on weekends, making me a great fit for: Evening dog walks Drop-in visits for dogs or cats Weekend pet care Vacation check-ins During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water (if needed), gets plenty of attention and playtime, and receives lots of affection. I’ll also send photo updates and a summary so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or simply have some company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Marlese took great care of Chase! We appreciated her great communication, punctuality and dependability. We highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to take care of your pup!
