Availability

Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I'm able to build my day around the needs of the dogs I care for. I follow a consistent schedule with multiple let-outs (7:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 3:30 PM, 7:30 PM, and 11:30 PM), daily walks, playtime, feeding, and any necessary medications. My own dog, Kole, is on the same routine, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into my day. Plus, my cousin assists me, so your dog will always have company and attention—even if I step out briefly.

Safety, trust & environment

If I ever need to step out, your dog will be safely crated (if you prefer) and placed in a separate room. That said, your pup is rarely ever left alone—my cousin helps assist me, so there’s almost always someone here to keep an eye on things. No need to worry—I have clean beds, crates, and plenty of toys available, all of which are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each dog's use. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority!

Information Marley H. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, temperament, and any specific needs ahead of time. This includes things like: Feeding schedule and portion sizes Any medications or health conditions Crate preferences or restrictions How they do on walks or around other dogs Triggers or behaviors to watch for (e.g., separation anxiety, barking, chewing) Favorite toys, treats, or comfort items The more I know up front, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

A typical day

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Your pup will get plenty of attention, with let-outs five times a day—at 7:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 3:30 PM, 7:30 PM (after dinner), and 11:30 PM (right before bed). There's also lots of playtime built into the day. I'm happy to administer medication if needed, too. Just let me know your dog’s feeding schedule, and I’ll stick to it!

Pet care experience

Welcome to Mar Paws Pet Retreat! As a remote worker with a flexible schedule, I'm able to give your pup plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and my friendly dog Kole and I love meeting new furry friends. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a more laid-back vibe like Kole, I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. With a calm, patient approach and lots of love, you can rest easy knowing your fur baby is in great hands.
