Loving Pet Care

I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I ran a successful doggie daycare business for five years from my home in Ventura County and now live in Paso Robles and am looking forward to caring for dogs again. I am available for care/boarding in my home, as well as visits or stays in yours. I am most comfortable with small to medium dogs and most breeds.

Marla did an amazing job watching our pups while we were gone! We felt super confident that they were taken care of thanks to her constant communication and updates. She left our home spotless and our boys seem like they had a great weekend with her.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 10, 2026

Marla was a wonderful sitter for my doggy. She has a great home with a big yard. She was very communicative all day and sent pictures to help me see how she was doing. My dog is used to only being in her own home, so it was nice to see she could do okay in other surroundings. Marla has a kind and gentle spirit and offers a loving environment for your pet!

Our two dogs bonded with Marla right away when she came to house sit and dog sit. One of our dogs is a senior and Marla gave her the daily medication she needs and regularly scheduled trips outside for poddy since our senior dog is forgetful. Our other dog is outgoing and active and she loved Marla as well. Marla sent us daily photos of the dogs chilling with Marla and gave us a brief report of their day. There were no issues and Marla stayed at our house all the days we were gone. Marla really eased our minds about our concerns with leaving our fur babies. Very grateful!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is dog/cat friendly and has a securely fenced backyard. When staying in your home, I am very respectful of your space. I bring my own food and pilow of overnight stays. I care for your pet just as you do and I am very trustworthy with high standards. My goal is to leave things like I was never there or better.
