No Place Like Home Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

When we first started dog sitting and dog walking, it was because my kids wanted a pet. This has been a great thing for us. We enjoy having fun with the dogs and at the same time make extra income. We treat the dogs as if they were ours. We play with them, in some cases even took them on vacation with us. Our home is just-like-home. We. have cared for all of these friendly guys since we started 8 years ago. Oscar, Kae, Dakota, Mollie, Gabriel, Daisy, Graddy, Steven, Logan, Ruthie, Muffin, Jordan, Nisha, Ashley, Lobo, Josie, Michael, Michio, Jackson, Frankie, and so on. Most of these are repeat clients and come at least once a year when their owners go on vacation. We have many pictures of these sweet dogs and cats and have great memories.

Marla and her family are the BEST! If I could leave a 1 million star rating, I would. This is the first time we used a sitter for my Otis and I was very nervous. After our meet and greet, Marla assured me that he would do just fine. I left there confident, knowing that she is very knowledgeable with pet care. She sent me multiple pictures every day. I know he was happy, well taken care of and loved. It melted this doggie Mom’s heart. Thank you for everything. So GRATEFUL ❤️
