Highlights
Pet care experience
Trained animal shelter volunteer!
Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs taught me how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. For the past 6 years, I've volunteered with Fulton County Animal Services, where I've worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. As a Level 3 volunteer, I have extensive experience handling, walking, socializing, and caring for shelter dogs, including those who may need extra patience and confidence-building. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual needs and routines. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member!

Ratings and reviews
Marlow took care of my dog for 8 days at her home, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily updates. She sent photos and messages every single day, which meant so much to me because I missed my dog and loved knowing how he was doing. She kept me informed about his activities and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog absolutely loved her large, beautiful backyard. We visited before his stay, and he was already having the best time exploring it. She also took him to the creek, which he loved! It was clear that she spent a lot of quality time with him, giving him plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. Her roommate was also incredibly kind and clearly cared about my dog, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in their care. She has a lot of experience handling large dogs with leash reactivity. My dog is a 98-pound Pitbull/Lab mix, and she knew exactly how to work with him and manage his needs confidently and safely. Her experience really showed throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the care, communication, and love she gave my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!
Marlow was an absolute gem. I’m so glad I found her and that Oslo got to have such a grand adventure while I was on vacation. She sent me all sorts of great photos the whole time we were gone. They went on walks, had snuggles, went to the river and played in the water! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my pup. He’s a big boy (110 lb) and has an attitude sometimes but Marlow had no trouble handling him and giving him the kind of love and attention he craves. I will definitely be asking her to watch Oslo next time we leave town!! Thank you so much Marlow!
I’ve known Marley now for 10 years and she’s the number 1 dog supporter in the world! The amount of dogs she’s rescued, cared for, and fostered has made her a veteran in the community. She not only volunteers at the shelter, but has been the go to dog sitter in our neighborhood for years for 15+ family’s. I would 100% recommend Marley to anyone searching for a pet sitter. A shoutout to her instagram as well (@walkingfultoncountydogs) where she has walked, fed, and helped more than a hundred dogs get adopted.
Marley is the most amazing person I know when it comes to caring for pets. She is one of the most kind and compassionate people that I know. Marley regularly volunteers at her local dog shelter where she dedicates her time to helping dogs receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. Marley genuinely wants what’s best for every animal. She is responsible, trustworthy, and will always put the wellbeing of animals first. I would feel confident leaving my pets with her knowing that they would be treated like family. Marley is awesome!
Marley has watched our dogs multiple times. We have peace of mind knowing someone trustworthy and reliable is taking care of our babies, which makes our time away stress free. We know they are safe and having a good time with her, and her communication is excellent. She treats them like gold and they are always so happy to see her!

Schedule
I do work a part-time job, but I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I maintain a consistent routine and make your pet's comfort and well-being a top priority while they're staying with me. I'm always happy to discuss my schedule and your pet's specific needs to make sure we're a great fit.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and affection while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments through my 6 years of volunteering at Fulton County Animal Services as a Level 3 volunteer. This experience has taught me how to read canine body language, build trust with nervous dogs, and safely handle a variety of personalities and energy levels. I pay close attention to each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and any special instructions from their owners. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment so both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.
A typical day
I love to adapt my day to the dogs needs but my ideal day would be a hike in the afternoon and cuddles and a movie at night!
