I am currently a student at Ball State University with a part time job. I am looking to eventually quit there and continue doing something I have a deep love for which is animals. I only have classes a couple hours a day with an hour break around noon. I am looking to fill up my mornings and evenings with a care that I deeply enjoy and am passionate about!

Safety, trust & environment

For house sitting, I stay overnight and follow the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I provide companionship, keep the home clean, and send regular updates with photos to keep the owner informed and reassured. For drop-in visits, I stop by three times a day for about 20 minutes each visit. During each drop in I handle feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and basic care, while making sure to send detailed updates and pictures after every visit.

Information Marlin H. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful to know your dog’s routine, energy level, and any quirks or special needs they might have. Things like feeding schedules, favorite toys, walking habits, and how they react to other dogs or strangers all help me give the best care possible. If they take medication or have any fears like thunderstorms or loud noises, I definitely want to know that ahead of time so I can make them feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

A typical day

I love staying active with the dogs I watch! We’ll go on multiple walks throughout the day whether it’s a slow walk around the neighborhood or a jog to get some energy out. I’m always up for a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around in the yard. It’s important to me that they get plenty of exercise, and mental stimulation.

Pet care experience

With four years of professional kennel experience, I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities. I go beyond basic pet care, providing attentive, personalized care that gives your dog the comfort and routine they’re used to as if it were you. From playtime and exercise to medication management, I bring a trained eye to every detail, ensuring your pup is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’m always excited to make a new furry friend and treat them like family!

Marlin was wonderful, he kept me updated with plenty of pictures and my little guy showed that he felt extremely safe and comfortable there. We will absolutely be returning clients. Thank you so much, Marlin!

Marlin does an excellent job of caring for pets. Marlin is caring and very interactive with pets. He tends to their individual needs and personalities. He has been an excellent, reliable, dependable employee at my dog boarding kennel for 4 years.

Marlin is extremely dependable! He has cared for our cats for years; since he was a small child. He provides a lot of love to each pet. One of our cats has some serious medical issues which he has dealt with wonderfully. I know he is just as competent and caring with dogs. He has had a key to our house for years. We have complete confidence in Marlin.
