Marlena P. Pet Care Provider in Tacoma, WA 98408

I recently moved back to Colorado after spending a year working as a social worker in NYC. I am currently working remotely full-time as a social worker for a New York-based non-profit, developing materials for suicide prevention education programs. From 2014-2017, I lived Colorado Springs obtaining my Masters in Social Work in May 2017. I received my Bachelors Degree from Fordham University in Bronx, NY in May 2013, majoring in Psychology.

At the age of seven I started my own dog walking business for my neighbors while they were on vacation or when they worked late hours. From that point on I was the kid my neighbors called to take care of their pets while they were away. Growing up, my family had a golden retriever named Daisy, and while she was technically the "family dog", everyone knew she was mine. With that came the responsibility of learning how to care for an animal in every way. I now have a 4-year-old energetic hound mix, named Hazel, who I absolutely love spending my free time with and couldn't imagine my life without!

I have experience walking dogs up to 60 lbs and am willing to go on walks/runs with dogs up to 90 lbs.

I also have extensive experience pet-sitting cats, rabbits, lizards, and fish.
