I truly love animals, so any spare time is spent with them. But this is more than just a hobby for me. I can't wait to meet your pets:)) I work from home as an on-line teacher, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I love all dogs and cats! I have adopted 17 dogs and 2 cats, and believe giving them the best possible life in their later years, is my calling. You dogs and/or cats will be treated like family.

Information Marla H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your pets' usual eating and potty/walking schedules. Do they take any medications? Any quirks while out walking? I have no breed preferences. I love them all:)

A typical day

During your dog's stay with us, I will mirror your dog's schedule. Breakfast at 6am? Check! A 30 minute walk everyday at 3pm? Check! 10 minute, "Empty the Tank" walk before bed? Check! Just let me know! I want your dog to be as happy as possible!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have over 25 years experience pet sitting and dog walking. What started out as fellow teachers asking me to care for their pets over the Summer Holiday, has turned into a second career for me. And I love each animal I care for as though they are my own! No one will love your pet as much as I will:) Animals know who their people are, and I am their people:) My own pets are all senior rescues-Penny Lane, Chloe, Gage, Lexi and Kellogg.

Long over due on this review, but she did a great job with our two dogs when we were gone

Marla took such great care of my Morty who was anxious after losing his brother Cooper to cancer the week prior! It was such a relief to know she was there for him while we were away and I came home to a clean home and well cared for loving Morty! I highly recommend Marla and am happy we have had her help when we’ve needed!
