Pet care experience
Certified Professional Dog care
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, I have dedicated my career to helping dogs and their owners develop strong bonds and create positive, lasting relationships. With years of experience in dog training and behavior modification, I have honed my skills and expertise to help accommodate even the most challenging dogs so they are able to get the exercise and training they need to be happy and healthy.

I have a strong understanding of using positive reinforcement for behavior management, modification, and enrichment. I am great at communicating and will follow up each service with a report updating you on your dogs adventure including any training worked on during the visit.
Ratings and reviews
My dog LOVES her visits with Marsha! I get lots of pictures & an update on the days events. My big girl gets to play, explore, be goofy & get her energy out- just what she needs on the days I'm gone. We both give a big paws up for Marsha!
I have a complicated animal family, and Marsha connects with each of them in ways that make sense for them as individuals. She is gentle and patient with my shy pup. She keeps my energetic, intelligent, reactive dog happy and engaged with training games. She is always happy to snuggle my elderly cat too! I am extremely picky about who I trust with my animals, and I can't say enough amazing things about Marsha.
Our dogs (and tortoise) love Marsha and she loves them right back! She's been watching our pets for years whenever we go on vacations. We never have a single worry knowing they're getting the absolute best care from her while we're away. She is great about sending updates and pictures. She is so friendly, reliable and trustworthy. Her passion, experience, education, and certifications make it difficult, if not impossible to find a better pet sitter/trainer/walker.
Marsha has helped us train our pup since 9 weeks old and we often get compliments on how well behaved she is - especially from fellow dog parents! It was incredibly helpful having Marsha guide us through training by kindly correcting some of our well-intentioned (yet sometimes naive) approaches - and focusing on positive reinforcement to making learning fun of all of us. Our pup has the attitude of loving to learn because of “the treat lady” who ultimately became one of her best human playmates. Our dog thinks training is a game and it's great! Marsha made it simple to apply training at home, refreshed with us often, and has been a continued resource for questions we have.
I have used Marsha several times (returning customer!) for dog sitting and dog walking services. She is fluent in understanding dog body language. Which was critical when handling sometimes unconfident/sensitive dog. I was always at peace of mind knowing that Marsha was taking care my dog - sending me updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her!
