Pet care experience

Keep your dog safe when you’re away

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, small animals, and reptiles. I currently have a senior small dog named Jeffrey and a red-foot tortoise, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. My background includes working at a pet store, where I cared for reptiles, birds, cats, and small animals while gaining experience with basic pet care, nutrition, and husbandry. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as pets that require more specialized care. I work full-time, but I live just minutes from my workplace, which allows me to stop home during the day when needed for potty breaks, walks, feedings, or check-ins. Outside of work, my schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands.

Marla took care of my dog Jax for 3 days and she was wonderful. My dog is very timid and she took her time getting Jax comfortable. I will definitely be contacting Marla again when I go away!

Marla took care of our bulldog Lulu. She is a very sweet young lady. She is also very responsible and timely. I would recommend her for any pet care needs and will definitely use her services again.
