Pet care experience

Major animal lover!

I've been walking neighborhood dogs and house sitting since I was 10! Experience caring for large, small, old and young pets. I have no problem with instructions for any special medications or routines. I'm very reliable and would love to stay and play with your pets! If your dogs are dog-park friendly I will happily take them to the park and/or bring them along on runs with me. I have 3 medium-sized rescue dogs at home who are all as friendly with other dogs as can be! I have a large reliable SUV and I'm more the willing to come to your house or bring your pets to mine - whatever works for you! I have also had reptile and small mammal pets my whole life as well as horses, and enjoy caring for all kinds of animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in backyard and 3 friendly dogs who love to play! I am happy to bring your pup over for some play time or bring everyone to the park. Or just play with your fur babies at your place and take them out for a nice long walk - or run if they’re high energy!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 09, 2026

Marlina was awesome! My pup had so much fun at her house and I feel like she was extremely well cared for. She loved running around the huge fenced in backyard!

Doggy Day Care • May 23, 2026

Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!

Boarding • Sep 23, 2021

Marlina and her boyfriend were wonderful! Bambu is super high energy, so having a place to board him with a large backyard and other playful dogs was such a bonus! Their dog Reese and Bambu got along well and Bam was exhausted when he returned home (in the best way!). Marlina sent photos/videos every few days and kept me updated throughout. I missed him so much, but I knew he was in good hands with Marlina! We'll definitely book Marlina again, thank you for taking such good care of Bambu!

Willow had a great time with Marlina and her dogs! She kept us updated with photos and video and was very responsive to us. She has a wonderful fenced in backyard and friendly dogs that are happy to play with a newcomer. Highly recommend Marlina as a Rover sitter.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. We do prefer for our first time working together for me to come to your place, so I can get to know your dog(s) well in their own environment before I bring them to mine.
