How about a "Kong Hunt" for Easter? Fill appropriate size Kongs with cat and dog treats and watch them enjoy finding them. #happypeteaster #kongtoys

Today we celebrate the bond between cat lovers and their feline companions. While the term "cat lady" was once associated with negative connotations, it has evolved to represent the love and care cat owners have for their pets. #nationalcatladyday

Sat with old boy Dexter last night. #bijonfrise #petsitter

My Shih-Tzu looks like she does this all the time. 😆🙄#dogspinningtrend

Signs your cat has imprinted on you. 1. Chattering- Meowing chirping or purring is a communication made just for you. 2. Kneading- When your cat makes biscuits on you they are telling you you're home. 3. Becoming your shadow- When a cat sticks that close, they trust you. 4. Doorman- When greeted at the door by your cat it shows they missed you. 5. Bunting- A nudge from your cat is affection and ownership. #catimprinting

National Pet Day is today I know what you are saying, there’s not a day that goes by that you don’t celebrate your animal companion! Did you know over the past 10 years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been a partner in research to determine the physical and mental benefits of having a pet. It turns out that not only can pets steal our hearts, but they also contribute to overall cardiovascular health by lowering cortisol, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels. So they ARE doing something to earn there keep 😉 #NationalPetDay

#nationaldogfightingawarenessday. Sadly dog fighting still happens. ASPCA are rescuing these dogs and rehabilitating them for adoption. #aspca

If someone says they don’t like dogs. #idontwanttobefriends

So the owner told me don’t engage with playing ball because then she’ll never stop. So this went on for 3 days and 2 nights. #germanshepherd #petsitter #petsittinglife #ballobsessed #gulfportflpetsitter

My client said ignore her when she wants to play ball or else she won’t stop. This happened for 4 days and 2 nights😳 #germanshepherd #ballobsessed #petsitterlife #gulfportflpetsitter

Did you know, there's a whole yellow army of dogs out there? These are dogs who wear bright yellow collars, leads and harnesses when out on a walk. The yellow colour is a signal to other owners that this is a dog who doesn't want to be approached. "My dog is scared!" #yellowarmy #nationaldogsinyellowday
raise awareness!

While these 3 cats parents were on a week long honeymoon. I got a lot of playtime with them. #tuxedocats #petsitter #petsitterlife #catcare

My client is pregnant and hubby is away this week so I’m in charge of cat litter clean up. Might as well play while I’m here. 😺#calicocat #petsitterlife #petsitter

Sometimes they stay under the bed for every visit. So I sit and read out loud to them. I have had some that eventually trust me. #petcare #catsunderbeds #gulfportflpetsitter #petsitterlife #readtopets #blackcats

K9 service dates back to March 13, 1942, when the U.S. Army began training dogs for the War Dog Program, known as the K-9 Corps. Today we honor dogs as part of the U.S. Armed Forces. #nationalk9veteransday

Marlene is not only trustworthy and professional, but also super compassionate and caring with pets. We have a very skittish cat that hides from new people. Marlene won her over in no time and now our cat sits on her lap nonstop when Marlene pet sits. She texts us thoughtful updates with photos each day we're away, which is so reassuring. We always know our sweet cat is in good hands with her.

Jennifer Oneil

Marlene took amazing care of my cat Jezebel, she is a much older cat and doesn't do well with new people. She did awesome with Marlene. Marlene checked in with me and sent pictures. I was comfortable having her care for my baby. I will use her from now on. She is great.

Louse Lavalla

She loves my dogs and cats! Sends me pics when I’m away!

Kathie Kobelski

Marlene was excellent. Trust her with my very demanding kitty as well as with my apartment. She gave daily updates, recorded my cat’s thoughts in a journal and left my space in great condition. She was prompt & professional.
