Safety, trust & environment

My dog is kennel trained, so he can be separated from any other dogs I’m sitting if the dog I am sitting is not socialized. However, my dog is socialized and will be happy to have a playmate. I can take your pet out as often as you require and I can transport dogs to the dog park if that is okay. I also have extra feeding and water bowls, as well as toys and treats for any dog I am sitting. I also have a fenced yard.

Information Marla C. would like to know about your pet

I enjoy sitting and boarding high energy dogs and puppies. I have a social, high energy, and playful personality and this is reflected in the pet I own. What I need to know about your pet is the following: (In order of importance) 1. Are they Neutered/Spayed? 2. How old are they? 3. Do they bark a lot? 4. Do they have any bad habits or difficult behaviors? (ranges from barking, biting, anxiety, frequent peeing w/o warnings, history of fights) 5. Are they comfortable with other dogs?

A typical day

- 6:00 am Good Mornings - 7:00 am Breakfast - 7:30 am first walk (potty time) - 9:00 am playtime at the park or dog park - 1:00 pm time to go home - 2:00 pm naps - 6:00 pm dinner time - 8:00 pm lights out bedtime

You’ve Got A Friend In Me!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am Woody’s Owner ( 2 yo, m, Aussie, 55 lbs) and you got a friend in me! I am communicative, positive, and flexible with your needs. I am high energy, loving, and helpful. Here’s a little about my pet experience: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was fifteen years old. I have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, and dogs. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, trail walks, and simply crocheting at home with the tv on. I like to watch the next Netflix drama hit, obviously. I have activities to do with high energy dogs and even low energy ones. See you’ve got a friend in me. I’ve got you through the highs and lows.

When Marla came to our home it was like discovering someone new and our family. Marla's instant love for our four-legged family members is wonderful 😊.

Marla was great! She communicated often and clearly and did everything we asked. She did so much to try to get our shy cat to feel comfortable!
