I think furry friends are the best!

Pet care experience

For years I've cared for my friends dogs when they were awayon vacation or traveling for work. Stays ranged between just a weekend or several weeks. I enjoy taking care of other pups and always treat them as one of my own. I let them up on the furniture and have no issue if they want to sleep in the bed, I actually prefer it. I love to snap pics and shoot videos of them playing or just looking cute (and of course I send them to Mom & Dad) The most I've watched at once was 4 dogs (weighing between 4 - 50 lbs) which included my Beagle Terrier, my friends Border Collie, my sister's Schnauzer and Toy Poodle. They all ended up being the best of friends. Latest Update: Your pup could have doggie door access, with your permission - of course (doggie door is sensored and will only open if your pup is wearing spare sensor on it's collar, this will give your pup doggie door access to a very large fenced back yard.

Leo had a great stay with Marla. He had a lot of fun and play time, and wasn’t eager to come back home

Marla was great! Our lab stayed with her for a long holiday weekend and Marla sent lots of pics with the dogs playing together and cuddling on the sofa ?. I recommend Marla and we’ll book her again!

The first time we used Marla to watch our dog at her house while we were away, she sent us regular updates and photos of our doggy, which was really nice. We recently dropped our dog off overnight for a second time at Marla's house. We could tell right away that our dog was super excited to be back. She jumped up and started wagging her tail as soon as she spotted Marla. We're so glad we found a nice dog sitter to watch our sweet dog. Definitely makes us feel less guilty not being able to bring our pup with, knowing she'll be happy and well taken care of.
