| Marla Caldwell has
been a true god-send to our family and we are so excited that she has
launched her own pet sitting business. On numerous occasions, she has stopped in to take care of our 4 labs when we were not able to get home in time; as well as taking care of the 6 horses, and 5 cats. Our daddy lab is diabetic and requires insulin shots twice a day, so it is important to have someone we can depend on to give him his shots. Because we have so many animals, it is hard for us to go away on vacations. Marla has spent the night at our house, taken our pups up to the fields to play, fed and cared for all the horses, cats, and fish, all so we could enjoy a trip without worry. It is a true joy to come home from a trip to find the house straight and clean. Marla has a true gift with animals, she loves them and we feel good about leaving our pets in her care. Marla is part of our family now too. Randy and Gail Canada

| We set out looking
to find someone who would help take care of our dogs while we worked
and ended up finding much more. Marla has been such a blessing. We previously have had other dog walkers/sitters but none compare. She treats our "boys" like her own, and does much more than let them out. She takes them to the dog park, PetSmart, or the stables to run around. I know they are in good hands and having fun. We are lucky to have met Marla and more importantly our dogs our happier. Thanks for all you do! Julie, Mike, Oakley, and Kefir

| Marla has been
wonderful. She is much more economical than a boarding facility (which
is nice of course), but I think she spoils our dogs more than we do.
She even took them home with her when one of them wasn't feeling well
just to make sure she was ok! I would recommend her to anyone. Kristine Robinsin |

I work 12 hour
shifts at a local hospital and wanted someone to come by and let my
dogs out for a potty break and to feed them at dinner time. I saw an ad
for Marla's services in the Chesterfield Observer and the rest is
history. She started helping me out a few months ago and I continue to
be thrilled with her care of my girls. If I am on call for work on the
weekend and need her to come by at a moments notice, she is right there
for the girls to let them out or feed them. I couldn't be happier with Marla and her care of my girls. She is very thoughtful and is very wise in the care of animals. I recommend her highly. Joan Marino

Many of my friends questioned me about the idea of hiring
someone to come by every day to walk my puppy, visit with my cats, and
do light household cleaning. I wondered if it made sense too,
until Marla arrived. She has made a huge difference in our
household. Not only does she do all of the things I mentioned,
but she has made the effort to get to know my pets and really enjoys
the time she spends with them.
Marla goes above and beyond in everything she does and has a
very strong work ethic. I would sum up by saying that I trust her
100% to be in my house and to provide quality care for my
animals. She treats us all like family.

| When you have horses at home,
you can't just pack them up and
throw them into the back of the car like you can a dog or cat. I wanted
to go to a convention for professional pet groomers in Pennsylvania and
having someone to feed and water the horses while we were gone for the
day was of utmost importance. Being new to the area, I didn't know
anyone who could do it reliably. I was very lucky to find Marla on
Craigslist and she came over quickly to get to know my horses and what
I wanted done. She sent a note to me via e-mail, as we
preferred, after we returned confirming she had been here and
asking if everything was good. I was very impressed with her
personalized attention. I KNOW that if we ever needed Marla in a pinch,
she would definitely rise to the call of duty! She is just wonderful! I
HIGHLY recommend her to everyone!! She gave us extreme peace of mind. Diane, "The $25 Groomer"

We are one of those couples who go a bit overboard with
their dog. We never thought we'd be this way with a dog, but
Maggie stole our heart.
When we left on trips, we always felt as if we were
abandoning our Maggie and never felt 100% okay with whomever was
sitting her. Then Marla appeared. Literally. I was walking
for exercise and saw Marla walking two small dogs. Knowing the owners
of these dogs, I asked Marla if she was dog sitting. She
explained that she was, and the rest is history.
Marla is a joy to work with and Maggie adores
her. We have, at last, a sitter who will take good care of Maggie
and love her as if she were her own.
Thanks Marla!

| I
was so excited to
come home to my babies, Moose and Magnolia, who were well taken care
of...We loved our flowers...I didn't expect my dishes to be put
away or my mail to be brought in, that was very thoughtful. We are
off to a great relationship and I am very pleased with your services.
Marla, you go above and beyond...WHAT A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION!!!! Eric and Theresa Givens |

Marla Caldwell is a fantastic animal caregiver, who has
loads of energy and loves all animals. We are so fortunate that
she has come into our lives. My days are full with caring for my
elderly mother, and with my exuberant mini-labradoodle, Gracie Lou, who
needs to go on long daily walks. I fractured my foot and sprained
my ankle this summer, and I was looking for a dog walker when I found
Marla. I am extremely picky, and I knew immediately that Marla
would take excellent care and love Gracie Lou as if she belonged to
her. Marla will go out of her way to make you and your pet feel
loved and special. I would highly recommend Marla to anyone who
needs assistance with their pets, and wants superb care. She is
such a blessing to us!

And Gracie Lou wants to add her voice:
When Mommy tells me Marla is coming to take me for a walk, I
get so excited I nearly wag my tail off! I love how Marla lets me
kiss her before and after our brisk walk. Marla is the best and I
love her lots!

| Marla is absolutely an angel. If
you ever need pet or home
care services in your absence, I highly recommend her. She came
and picked up Minnie with just an hour's notice and will keep her with
her as long as needed. She is also taking care of our house-the
flowers, mail, paper, lights, etc. Marla, you are absolutely the
best!! Minnie won't want to come home Kathy Conrad

| I cannot begin to express to you
how overwhelmed I am at the
quality of service you provide. You exceeded my expectations by
an immeasurable amount. I meant what I said when I stated that
Amber enjoyed a higher quality of care than my two (2) daughters. It is
easy to judge a person’s character based on the care they take
with your animals. You are a truly caring and loving person, and
we are enriched to have you as part of our lives. Aimee Brower
