Trustworthy Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Jim (James) has taken care of his lab Lucy for the past 10 years. I've had Moose, my pug, for about 5 years. We've trained them both and have experience working with Lucy's anxiety. We both have had pets growing up including rabbits, cats, and dogs. We love spending time with all animals and we make sure our beloved pets are well cared for! I work flexible hours and my husband works from home. Someone will almost always be with your pet and most all my evenings are spent walking the dogs- we love to take them into the woods for long walks! We live on lake and the pups can for a swim on hot days if they’d like. Both of our dogs and our one cat are extremely friendly. We have a runner in the yard as well as the ability to accommodate individual pet needs including but not limited to using crates, making sure they stay on a leash etc. We have a yard to roam and live very close to great places to walk! Our home is clean and safe for your pet.

Thank you Jim and Marla for taking such excellent care of Millie! She needs a lot of attention and exercise and she certainly gets that at your house. The photos are great and show that she is having way too much fun! She will be bored at home.... So glad that we found you on Rover!

Marla and Jim were excellent hosts for our Thor. They kept us posted with updates and pictures during the time that we were away and were friendly, courtous, and professional. Well deserving of a 5 star review. Thank you both! Knute Alger

Jim and Marla are great! Our dog is so comfortable and happy at their house- lots of outdoor space to run around in. Loved all the updates as we were on our 8 day trip. I highly recommend this sitter.

Great place for my pups! They were so nice and sent so many photos. My dogs were very happy (and tired from all the playing and outdoor time) when we picked them up. Would definitely book again!

Anything you can tell me about your dog is helpful! I always want to know if they have any medical conditions or allergies. I like to know what activities they enjoy and the things they may not enjoy as much.

A typical day

We love taking the pups for walk, letting them swim when it gets hot, and going for an occasional pup cup at some local ice cream places! We also take our pups for walks in the winter.
