I am an animal person!

Pet care experience

One could definitely classify me as an animal person. I grew up with both cats and dogs and can not imagine my life without a pet. We had 3 Dobermans at one time that required a lot of attention, exercise and love. I took them to the park daily and let them run and swim for a minimum of an hour each day. I also bottle fed a one week old kitten that was my best friend for 21 years. I wish my husband and I could have a dog(s) now, but we have a senior cat that would not do well with another fur baby in the house. I know my neighbors by their dogs names rather than the person's name. My dream is to be surrounded by dogs giving lots of slobbery kisses.

Marla is the best! She was available on short notice and without her I would not have been able to make my out-of-town wedding. She took excellent care of my two pups and even sent me pictures of them while we were away. Thanks Marla!!!

Marla was absolutely great with my Lola and Aiden. It was great knowing they were being cared for while I was gone by someone so great. She absolutely loves animals and my two puppies absolutely loved her!

Marla is one of the kindest people I know! She has watched over our pets, and our three young children, and I would recommend her for any caregiving type of position. She has an amazing level of patience, and lots of love in her heart! Thank you, Marla!

Marla always enjoyed dogs and cats in her home. She is patient, loving, and kind to animals. She helped me with many rescues including bottle feeding, bathing, and cuddling. Animals immediately sense her sweet nature and ability to nurture. Marla is exceptional in always being dependable and reliable. She will make an excellent dog sitter and offer many extras with her love for them.

Information Marla L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how they react to the doorbell, strangers, bike riders and storms.

A typical day

If parents are ok with me driving their fur baby, Larson Park is a nice big open area to run and play. I am happy to give them car rides and take them to their favorite parks or play areas. We can play at their home with their favorite toys and walk around their neighborhoods to make sure their scent is still on their favorite trees, bushes and signs. Yes, I do clean up after they do their business.
