Pet care experience

Dog lover! 🐶

I used to have a mini Poodle from 2012 to 2018. I took her on lots of walks, gave her hair cuts, and shampoos, and even cared for her when her health declined from cancer in 2018. I am great with any dog I meet, I have played and walked friends' dogs and have had no issues. I also worked at Foxy Locks Grooming and Daycare in summer of 2024, and I currently work there again, so I have employee experience working with large and small dogs!

Marla was a good choice. Maxx and Scooter was happy with here. Had no problem with Marla staying with the boys at our home. Will ask for Marla again when needed. The Blessing family.

While I have been working Marla has taken my dog on walks, and entertained her throughout the day. There have been some occasions when I have been on vacation and Marla has stopped by to make sure my dog has used the bathroom and has fresh food & water. I highly recommend Marla to care and play for your pet.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a college graduate and preparing for law school, so I will be in Knoxville atleast until August! I do work part time at a dog daycare 2-7 Monday through Friday, but my mornings are free in addition to Saturdays! Good times are late morning and afternoons, but I am open to early mornings as well. *disclaimer for house sitting*: I cannot stay at your house all day on the weekdays, do to my part to me job. However, I can stay atleast until 12 or 1pm, then come back to your house at 7:30pm

Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive and friendly when caring for dogs in my clients’ homes. I love to play with them and ensure the home is left the same if not better than when I arrived.

A typical day

I like to play fetch with dogs the most, or run with them or have them run after me. I also love petting dogs, especially giving them belly rubs.
