Safety, trust & environment

I can meet your dog’s needs. I have worked with many breeds and behavior types throughout my years walking dogs. I have a soft spot for quirky animals

Information Marla M. would like to know about your pet

The more information I have, typically the better. Let me know about food or skin allergies, anxiety triggers, walking requests, and any other general things to avoid. Thank you!

A typical day

I read the animals personality and adjust accordingly, but with most dogs I spark their creativity and energy in any way possible. We are very active and curious, while staying safe.

I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments. Oh and animals tend to trust me quickly. Let’s chat!

Marla is absolutely fantastic! She’s respectful and responsible, I trust her completely in my space and with my pet. My kitty loves her and I have a better time when I leave knowing my pet is in good and caring hands. She’s easy to work with, considerate, and on top of the details.

Marla cared for my two dogs a number of times while I was traveling. She was great at taking them on entertaining walks, watching over their dinner time, and making sure they felt loved while we were away. Our pups are two medium to large dogs who must walk together. They're friendly, but one loves to get his steps in and the other likes to smell all the flowers. Marla is good at attending to both of their needs & sends us great photos. I've also seen how dedicated Marla is to her own cats & she goes above and beyond for them with assorted foods, playtime, cuddle time and administering meds when necessary.

Marla has taken care of my two fur babies Bozley and Charley. When I go away for trips I know that they are well cared for. On long work days, Marla is also Able to come give my boys a nice long walk. She is honest and reliable and most importantly loves my dogs.
