Highlights
Pet care experience
Clothes covered with fur is ok.
I have taken care of friend's dogs and have had dogs of my own for years. I have also taken care of cats if you have cats in your home, I can take care of cats as well. I have 3 of my own. I have also volunteered with Can Do Canines for a couple years.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home time will be spent with the dog, playing, petting, cuddling before and after walks. If you have a fenced yard, time outside to play weather permitting. In my home, if they are cat friendly, a slow introduction. My cats are mostly dog friendly, the girls take longer to warm up to dogs, but the male cats warm up quicker. It will be easy to separate them by room if needed. Currently I am taking repeat customers only. Inquire if you need boarding and if your dog is accustomed to cats. I cannot take dogs that see cats as prey.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent care of my cats! Love the pictures! Thank you for taking care of them so great!
Fantastic sitter, always does a great job with our girls.
Marla is our #1 choice for Finley when we travel. She sends fun photos and well-being reports daily. Finley loves being around the cats (though they won't always play her dog-games!). The fenced-in yard means she gets outside plenty. She gets a daily walk in the neighborhood and lots of love at the house.
Marla is the best sitter! My cats love her. They really know her now and look forward to her visits.
Love Marla’s kindness and attention to detail. She makes sure I know the kitties are safe. I appreciate it while I am away.
Awesome!

Schedule
I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups in your home. I have a 10 year old dog that cannot go on long walks so I have time to care for yours. 10/2022 update: My dog was diagnosed with cancer which was a surprise, within 2 weeks we had to put him down. It had spread to his lungs and he was suffering. It was a hard decision. Now we have 4 cats. Another dog will be considered eventually, for now I will enjoy caring for yours. Thank you! I'm a teacher I work early in the morning. If you need your dog walked, I can walk after 12 or during school holidays. 7/24/2024 update: I have 5 cats at the moment, the recent addition is 17 years old. I currently retired from teaching and am looking for a different part time job for some steady income. While I may not have housesitting on my profile, please do check in with me as I am doing this on a limited basis.
