I'd Love to be Your Dog's New BFF!

Dogs Rule! I'm a dog lover and dog mom with decades of experience! Over the years, I've worked with literally 1000's of dogs - every age, size, breed and temperament. This makes me uniquely qualified to insure that your dog's time in my care is a fun, safe and enriching experience! I started volunteering at my local animal shelter in the late '80s and got hooked! I got so deeply involved in dog rescue, that I changed careers in order to work with dogs full time. I operated my own dog training business (Devil Dog Ranch) for 23 years, and also fostered and cared for every age of dog from puppy to senior. I currently have four dogs of my own - 3 Chow mixes and a Pom. They bring me endless joy and are the reason I get up in the morning. You can rest assured that I will care for your dogs as if they were my own. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority.

Marsha is reliable, friendly, and keeps me in the loop about how my dog is doing! Marsha gives me incredible peace of mind knowing my dog is well looked after while I’m away for so long. Her background as a dog trainer and rescuer gives me immense confidence in her ability to take care of my girl!

Marsha is fantastic with my high energy pup. Can’t begin to describe how grateful we are for her help. Lovely human, trustworthy and kind. Don’t hesitate to hire her!

Marsha is a phenomena. Great energy and has all the experience her profile shows. She even took time to give me some training tips and my pup adores her.

I’m not a pet parent. But, I demand that my animal companions be safe and sound, and happy. Full stop. No negotiations, no do-overs, and NO EXCUSES. Marsha is that person. Was the very first time. Then she facilitated a rescue by letting me know she was securely dropping a rescued dog at my home. While I was at work. (The dog was with me 15 years.) And more canine companions. More advice. More referrals. Training. Fantastic trainer! Another rescue, delivered into my arms (in 2005!). The dog is still with us. Marsha is still the only person we trust without question to keep the two boys safe and sound, and happy. Do yourself a solid and make your canine companions safe and sound and happy. You will be, too!

We love Marsha! She's intelligent, fun, creative and a dog lover through and through. We met when she helped us adopt a rescue dog and have been close buddies ever since. We trust her completely with our dogs because she's caring, responsible, reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Marsha is all around amazing and will treat your beloved furry pet as though it was her own!

There are people who get dogs on every level and there are people that do not. I have never met someone who has the ability to meet doggos of all breeds and all backgrounds on their level with such ease and grace as in Marsha. Her own beloved pack is a joy to be around and the way she interacts with other peoples pups is loving, firm and educated. I would trust her with any of my fur companions, they would likely come back better trained and eager to hang out with her more!
