Highlights
Pet care experience
Mountain lady who loves dogs
I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life. I have been a dog mom for 13 years. I am great at walking dogs who have aggression towards other dogs, I know how to find a calm route to take and distract them before conflict arises! I recently lost my 90 lb alapaha blue blood bulldog mix to a terminal illness and am looking forward to spending time with other people's dogs.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Marilla is very kind and communicative. She was able to come take care of Rookie with a few days short notice and did a great job. I’d hire her again without hesitation. Thanks again!

Mars provides the best pet care. She is very loving of my dogs (one of whom is special needs and requires extra care). She goes above and beyond to meet their every need and even brings them treats! From walking, to house/pet sitting I know I can trust her with my babies. I appreciate her flexible availability too. Ten out of ten, I highly recommend my “go to rover”!!
Mars was my go-to petsitter for years, and I will definitely hire her in the future when I am ready to get another dog. She follows instructions, is reliable, trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and treated my dog with great care. It's clear that she really loves animals!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets with so much attentiveness and love! Just give me a set of instructions and I will show them a great time. I am happy to board as well as make house calls, and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my 4 year old foster daughter. We live next to many swimming holes and in a location with greay walkability.
A typical day
I am happy to take a dog on a really long walk, throw toys around, play tug-o-war, or snuggle on the couch and watch dog tv! If you have a cat I can engage with all sorts of stimulating toys for long periods of time, or just be a warm body to snuggle up to.
