5+ years of dog care experience
Pet care experience
I have worked as a full-time dog walker with a small company in SF for 5 years and am looking to expand my love for animals to Santa Cruz! I was trusted with the keys/codes of many families homes and, driving in a panel van, picked up around 8-13 dogs at a time to bring them to an off leash dog park. I have worked with all kinds of dogs; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs who require extra care. Eg. Separation anxiety, difficult leash/socialization manors, and dogs with special needs/diets. I live in a large apartment surrounded by lots of grass and would love to take care of your good boy/girl, so long as you don't mind the excessive photos I may take/send while they're under my watch! :)
Reviews
Great with dogs, will book again.
Marley was great! So experienced and comfortable with dogs. Felt so confident and at ease leaving my Mackay with her ?
My dog can be very anxious and tough to handle but Marley did amazing with her! Definitely will come back to her again when needed.
We needed a semi-last minute sitter over the weekend and Marley came through! She was fantastic. Tons of pictures of our pup, dog park, and he came back nice and tired.

I have years of experience in dog care, including working at a boarding facility with 20+ dogs at a time. So I am very confident and capable of making snap decisions under pressure if/when necessary.
Information Marley M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special instructions/requests you have. Is your pup reactive to anything i.e. bikes, skateboards, birds, other dogs, children, ect.? Do they have any allergies, medications or special diets? How do they do around cats? Are they off leash/recall trained?
A typical day
Find me going for walks in the forest, on the beach, or along East and West cliff! I would love your four legged friends to tag along. Always looking out for the best spot to stop for a game of fetch along the way!
