Customer Testimonials 

Marlene has taken care of our Jack Russell terrier for two years. She is the most reliable house/pet sitter that we have had in the 14 years that we have had Hannah. Marlene is wonderful and not only takes great care of Hannah, but our house. She sends us updated pictures and texts to let us know how Hannah is doing. Hannah requires medicine and periodic walks and Marlene is very diligent to make sure Hannah gets the medicine and exercise she needs. In addition, she gives Hannah love, attention and companionship. I feel totally comfortable knowing that Marlene is taking care of Hannah while we are gone. Marlene has become more than a pet/house sitter to us-- she is a wonderful friend.                                                                                             -Nancy E.

We have been employing Marlene as our exclusive pet sitter since December 2013. We have had some bad experiences in the past at different kennels, so it is a huge comfort to know Marlene is caring for our 2 dogs, Bella and Umi, with the same love and affection we we give them. Marlene walks the dogs regularly and best of all they get to stay in the comfort of their own home. It's always fun to get pictures and texts from her and to know they're getting lots of attention. She is someone we trust completely and we'll continue to use her every time we are away.

My husband and I recently celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary and planned a trip to Napa Valley, CA - ALONE! This was our first vacation together since we had our precious daughter, Ava, five years ago. While we were planning, I was so stressed trying to figure out how we were going to pull it off, as our little girl needed to be taken to pre-school for 1/2 days. Marlene agreed to stay with her and they did fantastic! I wouldn't hesitate to leave Marlene with Ava at any time. She packed her a school lunch, dressed her, bathed her, got her to school and picked her up on time. She also arranged play date(s) with neighbor friends -- she did everything that I would have done. Ava didn't skip a beat or get sad for us, because Marlene took great care of her and loved her just like we do!

We have been employing Marlene as our exclusive pet sitter since December 2013. At that time, we had two Corgis who received excellent and very loving care from Marlene. In April, one of our Corgis died and the remaining dog, Maggie, really needed the comforting and extra attention which Marlene excels at providing. We never worry about our pet while we are gone, as Marlene keeps us up to date with texts and pictures. Maggie gets very excited when Marlene comes over, so we are assured that Maggie is receiving the very best of care in the comfort and convenience of our home. We could not be happier with Marlene as our pet sitter!

Marlene is a conscientious, loving caretaker with a huge heart. She takes great and loving care in everything she does and she always goes the extra mile to take care of our dog, Sherman.

Marlene has prior caregiving experience with seniors and disabled adults that has prepared her for understanding and meeting my specific training and caregiving needs for me and my service dog. She also respects the specific bonding needed between my dog and me. Her assistance has allowed my dog to behave better on public outings and to follow commands, allowing me greater independence. Having patience and compassion like she does for both people and animals ensures optimal care and quality of life for you and your loved ones.
