Loves Dogs more than some people

Pet care experience

Basically I am a dog fanatic. I begged my parents for a pet dog until we got our two long haired dachshunds, Willy and Cheri. As the youngest sibling, I naturally became in charge of poop pick-up. We often pet-sat for family and friend's pets for all different lengths. I did river throughout college and maintain to this day it was the best job ever! This year I adopted my first dog Marlow and have had the best time training her. I’m dabbling in photography now so if you want me to take photos of your dog let me know! But don't just take my word for it, have a look at my reviews to get an idea of how your furry friend will love to hang with me! Follow Marlow on Instagram @Marlow.the.hound

Tara watched our dog for a few hours while we were visiting from out of town for a concert and we didn’t want Clover to be uncomfortable in a hotel room by herself. Tara was so friendly and professional from when I first messaged her and she always responded quickly. She showed up to the hotel early and while we were gone sent us great pictures of Clover. We would definitely recommend her and if we ever found ourselves in Boston again needing a dog sitter we would love to book her again.
