“Marlene was so kind to watch our two dogs for a month while we went on an international trip. Our 9 month old golden proved to be quite the handful and definitely needed access to more regular exercise or an enclosed outdoor space. Marlene took it in stride and provided great care. If you have a larger dog or one that needs significant daily exercise (maybe you usually let them out in your fenced yard?), then Marlene may not be the best fit. Otherwise, she’s compassionate, attentive and flexible - we’d definitely use her again for our doxie who is smaller and has less energy.”
