Information Marna A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or care requirements, so I can do my best to accommodate them. My favorite are smaller dogs but I love all dogs and cats. I’d prefer to avoid dogs with aggression or biting behaviors.

A typical day

In the morning, I would begin with feeding if necessary and a morning walk. I would cuddle and play with your dog frequently and as much as they desire. I would also do multiple other walks and activities throughout the day such as hikes, swims and other fun, stimulating activities.

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of and owning dogs, and recently cats, since I was in high school. I have raised and trained dogs from puppyhood into their elder years, and taken care of sick and special needs animals. I have a very flexible schedule as well.

In record time, Marna won over our socially hesitant older dog, and took excellent care of him. From meeting one, he seemed to sense her calming presence and responded to her positively. Usually, he'll bark and hide from someone new. It was great to see! Thank you, Marna!

I think the kitties had a great time with Marna. I overloaded her with neurotic instructions and I think she rallied to the challenge. She even cleaned the litter box area up so nicely with the broom which I really appreciate. She was super responsive the whole time to my texts and I felt like the kitties and the house were safe while we were gone. We’ll be glad to have her come back.
