Pet care experience
I am an animal behaviorist who just loves dogs! Before my successful 18+ year career as an animal trainer (where I rescued, cared for and trained- using positive reinforcement- sea otters, dolphins, sea lions and seals, I had my own dog training company: Good Dog. I did not need advertising, it was successful purely through word of mouth. I love animals and I'm very patient and compassionate, as well as a skilled trainer and teacher. My greatest love and skill is enrichment, finding fun ways to provide stimulation for animals for physical and psychological stimulation. I love love love love dogs! My kids and husband are great with dogs too and so is our 3 yr old pup, Biscuit! The whole family helps make your dog’s stay fun, loving and comfortable.
Reviews
Marcia and family (including Biscuit, their dog!) are super sweet and like a second home to our dog, Bear. Bear has now been to their home 4 times and on our last drive over he started whining with excitement as we got close to their house. The backyard is a great space for running around, and Bear is allowed to hang out with the family inside. We are so grateful for Marcia!
Our dog, who is on the older side and anxious, had a great time with Marcia, Biscuit and family. They took great care of our baby!
From the first moment I met Marcia, her and her family were so warm and welcoming. Her dog Biscuit is a sweetheart and her and Beth liked each other right away and were running around the yard together. Beth LOVES their large grassy yard and loves watching the chickens. After her first day of daycare she didn't want to leave! She was completely content with a ball in her mouth, laying on one of the dog beds in the room with the kids, it was so sweet :) I couldn't have asked for a better fit for daycare for my dog Beth and I :)
Marcia, her family, and Biscuit are great! We had Coco there for an extended stay of 12 days with no worries what so ever while we were on our trip. They have a great house and large yard that provides plenty of space to run and play! Coco and Biscuit got along so well and are besties! We're very thankful for Marcia and her family and would highly recommend them!

Information Marcia S. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, just how their dog typically acts around new dogs and new people. Have they ever snapped or bit anyone?
A typical day
I like walks around the nearby lake or safe spots to hike where there are a lot of plants and wonderful areas for the dogs to smell. I love frequenting the dog parks to run around and socialize too.
