Dog lover with a home

Pet care experience

I would love to spend time walking or pet sitting your pet! I like to jog/walk at local parks. However, if your dog does not do well interacting with other dogs we can go to an alternate location. I am happy to make any other accommodations for you. I am very reliable and always on time. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. A little about me: I am 33 years old. In my free time I enjoy yoga, working out, and checking out the local museums.

She took great care of Loki! She was very communicative and provided updates on how he was doing! I would definitely leave Loki on her care again.

Marla was perfect for our puppy Nellie!! She watched her for a full 10 days and was so kind and very responsible and responsive the entire time! She is very loving and spoiled our fur baby while we were away and treated her like her own. We also received daily update photos which was really nice. I highly recommend Marla and already am booking her to watch out pup for our next upcoming trip! :)

Marla is friendly and excellent with our babies. They went on a long walk and were worn out. Thanks Marla

Marla was great with our pups, and they both came home exhausted, so I’m sure they had a wonderful time!
