Pet care experience

Safe, fun-loving home!

We are an energetic family of six, who completely adore dogs. We have a very flexible schedule and are usually home most of the day. This is because we home school our kids thus there are always plenty of helping hands to give love and attention to your dogs. My daughter, who is 15, had always wanted a dog ever since she was little. Two years ago we finally got one, and we were hooked. :) All my children love animals, especially dogs. We would feel incredibly privileged if you would consider letting us watch your precious pet. About our pets: The only pet we have is a dog, named Shadow. She is a Golden Retriever/Border Collier mix and is very good with other dogs. We have previously watched friends dogs, and my husband has grown up with dogs his whole life. About our Yard: Our whole property is 1/2 an acre, and our backyard has a fence. The kids have a swing set, treehouse, and a trampoline. (which we take down in the winter) Right next to our house is a path, which is approximately a mile long encircling a large field. This is usually where we walk the dogs.

Was so happy to know that my dogs were taken such good care of for two weeks over the holidays. Marla sent pictures everyday and was very responsive! Will definitely return for my next trip.

Marla seemed very organized. Very attentive. Nice set up. Her own dog was exceptionally mild mannered and my dog who can be unsure or other dogs seemed very comfortable with Marlas dog within minutes.

We felt totally as ease with Marla watching Goldie while we were on vacation. It was the first time leaving her for an extended period and knowing she was at a happy home with a few pups to keep her company gave us piece of mind while we were away. She sent us daily updates with pictures!

Bella received excellent care and we so relieved to know she was happy in her surroundings. Marla was very communicative and we appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Thank you Marla for your kindness and loving environment you shared with Bella while we were away!
