Highlights
Pet care experience
Family loves dogs of all sizes!
Our dog-loving family (two adults and two dog-savvy kids) have experience with pups of all sizes, from our 90-pound cattle dog mix (rest in peace, Henry!), who we raised from puppyhood, to the grandparents' yorkie. We love taking pups on long walks, playing fetch in our yard, and reinforcing any training you're working on. Our puppy, Daisy, has been a wonderful partner in dog-sitting. She is relaxed, open, welcoming and playful, but is also perfectly happy giving space to those dogs that are not up for her puppy energy.

Ratings and reviews
Our pup enjoyed spending her days with Marla and James and playing with their Daisy. She was sad to leave and excited to arrived each day. Will definitely book daycare with them again! Thank you!!
Another great weekend! Flight delays caused Dolores to stay an extra day and Marla easily accommodated.
Eddie loves his home away from home and gets SO excited every time he gets to stay with Marla, James, and family. They do a wonderful job communicating and keeping him out of trouble! And their dog Daisy is just the best friend a dog could ask for.
As usual, Dolores had a great time and was well cared for with Maria and her family!
I’m so happy when I know Lexi is well cared for and has fun with Daisy they make me feel at ease sending pics also helps
Dolores had a great time spending Halloween with Marla and her family. Always grateful for her welcoming Dolores like a member of her family!

Schedule
My husband and I are both contractors/freelancers, and one, if not two, adults are almost always home. We're active and enjoy walking dogs in our care, and particularly enjoy long walks. We're well-practiced in maintaining a feeding (and medicine, if needed) schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home includes a fenced yard and fenced front porch area. We like to bring dogs inside if we leave, and we are happy to crate them if that make them feel safe and cozy. For bedtime, we have allowed dogs to sleep in our bed or snuggle in their crate -- whatever the pups prefer.

A typical day
I love to take dogs on long walks (we live a few blocks from River Park and its dog park), sniff the neighborhood sniffs, practice any training you’re working on, and play fetch in my backyard. If your dog is a couch potato, that’s good, too (we love TV over here as well!)
