Availability

My weekdays and weekend are generally very flexible. Please feel free to message me to discuss how I might be able to help care for your pet. A quick break down of some services: In home boarding rates in my own home are as posted. If needed, I can provide an insulated, private room for your pets, so they may relax and not be in the mix with our own dogs. Otherwise, they will be in the main living area with us. 🙂 They will be allowed as many potty breaks in a fenced yard as needed and will be loved and cared for while staying with us. I send updates twice daily- once mid morning and once sometime in the evening. Drop offs and pick ups can be done as early as 7:30am and as late as 8pm. Bathing and/or grooming can be done by request. Please let me know how I can make your life easier! Pickup and drop off can also be provided upon request, as well as transportation to and from vet or grooming appointments. Contact me to discuss rates for this.

Pet care experience

I am pet CPR/First Aid Certified and qualified to deal with any emergency situations that may arise. I've cared for and loved animals all of my life, and dogs are my passion. I have a pack of 6, four Aussies, a border collie, and a dachshund. I am experienced and comfortable in a wide variety of dog breeds, behaviors and personalities, as well as with associated medical issues, and administering medications. In my free time, I enjoy training my Aussies in obedience, rally, and agility, and we do performance events like Fastcat and dock diving. I show AKC conformation with several of my dogs and always leave the show with the best dogs! I have a flexible schedule, so please feel free to reach out to me so I can help provide top notch care for your pets while you’re working or away. I look forward to meeting fellow animal lovers and their beloved pets.

Our initial weekend booking with Marlie went well. We were given updates with photos. Jackson had good reviews from her. Grateful to have found her and we plan to use her again.

Marlie was absolutely magnificent! She communicated with me well, sent me pictures and kept in touch as she promised. I am a professional dog trainer, so I am probably more particular about who I leave my dogs with. I was hesitant about leaving my girl with such a young person (not meaning that she doesn’t know dogs), but she exhibited great care and maturity in the care and communications expected. Great job, Marlie! We’ll be back! Love, Hoka🐾
