Marla house/dog sat for us for a week while we were at the beach. We stayed in contact throughout the week, just to check in. She was always responsive and reassuring. When we returned home, everything was clean and our dog was very happy! Marla was incredibly friendly and respectful of our home. I would absolutely trust her anytime and would recommend her to anyone.

About

Hello there! I'm MarLa. My husband is Kurt. We're both 50+. Kurt works full-time out of the house, but travels extensively for work. So sometimes I sit alone, other times Kurt is with me. It depends on the dates. We have lived overseas

Why I want to house sit

My creativity is inspired by living and working in different areas, both rural and urban. I love all animals, and enjoy the various personalities of dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, and a variety of other non-traditional and farm animals
