Dog mom since the day I was born!!!
Pet care experience
I'm currently the mom of 4 greyhounds. I grew up with a variety of breeds of dogs from poodles at the age of 5 to a black lab from middle school to college and then on to greyhounds as an adult living on my own. I don't know what life is without a dog as part of my family. I've had 2 special needs dogs I was their person and both passed in their teens one 17 and the other 13. Angel my lab was born without tear ducts so needed eye washing often and special drops for her eyes. I trained her to do several tricks from sit, stay, lay, spin, roll over, to hugs she passed from a stroke at age 17. My greyhound Stanley lost a front leg to a car accident. He lived to age 13. Being a tripod for 6yrs he required extra help in his senior years getting up and down a flight of stairs or getting up off a bed on non carpeted floors. He passed at age 13 do to irregular hear rate. So as you can see I've dealt with health issues in dogs from eyes, to limb loss, happy tail, cuts scrapes, bruises, bites and lots of in between. I can walk just about any kind of dog from itty bity yorkie to a giant Newfoundland as I'm a tall well stature person. I've carried a 75lb greyhound up and down a flight of stairs for 6months because he was older and a tripod and the stairs were slick hardwood so I can handle most dogs. I was a vet receptionist for a few months. I didn't leave because of the dogs but because of my co-workers and how they treated some of the animals in our care.
Reviews
Martha has watched my dogs for years. She is a very caring and loving dog sitter. Martha goes beyond to make sure my dogs are taken care of while I’m out of town or if I’m tied up at the office. She’ll walk them, take them to the vet, clip their nails, clean their ears, feed them, etc. She truly loves the dogs and has a heart for their health and well being. I strongly recommend her for your dogs too.
Love Martha!! You can truly tell she is passionate about animals! She even has 4 dogs of her own! My dogs are my BABIES and Id trust her with them anytime! Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter, walker, anything!
Martha talks to my pups and loves on them like they were her own. When I was leaving town one afternoon, my lab hurt her back and Martha was able to run her to the vet for me. Martha is great at letting me know how the pups are doing and taking pictures of them to let me know they're doing well while I'm away. I'd highly recommend her!

I will care for your pet in your home by making sure they've had time for potty breaks, love and of course play time. For the last visit of the evening I'll make sure your pet has had plenty of time to potty, play and then calm down for bed time.
Information Martha B. would like to know about your pet
How active is the dog, age of the dog, spayed or neutered, any history of violence towards other dogs or people. Any past issues with pet sitters, walkers etc. No wolf hybrids No chihuahuas
A typical day
Depending on where you live walks could be around the neighborhood or could be at the local park. Walks will also depend on the weather as to where we walk. If you aren't a walking type dog and you have a back yard then that is where we will be together whether that is getting some time with a toy, doing zoomies, or just smelling around the yard.

Availability
I currently am unemployed so I'm available for whatever your pets may need whether that is a walk, someone one to drop in for potty breaks and time for play or they just need a ride to and from your vet cause you are busy working. On weekends I can work any plans I have around my pet clients and their needs.
