Marla did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Caramel. She sent photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Marla and would absolutely trust her again in the future!

I had to get a dog sitter for a 2 week trip. I booked with Marla and her daughter as our dogs got along and they seemed really nice. I dropped my dog off on 12/26 at 8 am. 2 days later I was informed by the vet he was deceased. Marla said he had a seizure so she took him to the vet. However the vet notes state that there was no seizure reported. She left him alone while caring for other dogs and then left him with a man. That man was the last person to see him alive. She woke up and my dog was just staring and not moving. She never told me my dog died, she never apologized or explained what happened, and has since ghosted me. The vet informed me that after dropping him off, she left while they were doing chest compressions, to go get his bag and just dropped off his stuff at the front desk and apparently never looked back. She never even reported his death to rover. I am on vacation and this has absolutely been a nightmare to think I will return home and he will not be there. DO NOT BOOK WITH HER.

Marla took great care of my senior dog and was super communicative through the whole process. Would definitely book again!

Marla and her daughter were so loving with our Daisy, whose love and affection does not come easy with new people. Could not recommend more!
