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.

Pet care experience

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 was great with my cat; will definitely rebook her in the future! Litter box was clean, food & fresh water was daily and we loved the cute photo updates!

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.
