Love at first sight

Pet care experience

I have a great passion for taking care of dogs and have had experience caring for various breeds of dogs and other pets throughout my life. I have always considered my own dogs to be important members of my family and enjoyed spending time with them every day, including running and playing together. I would love to extend my care to your furry friends as well. As I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and space in my new home to accommodate your dog's needs. We have a spacious, fenced backyard where your dog can play and run around freely. My husband, kids and I are all excited about the opportunity to have some new canine friends to care for and spend time with. We understand that each dog is unique and has different needs, and we are dedicated to providing personalized care to ensure their comfort and happiness. Rest assured that your dog will be treated with love, respect, and attention in our home. We look forward to the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your furry friend!

Martha and her family are great. My Shadow seemed to love his time with them and came home ready to nap after having so much fun.

This was my first time ever boarding my dogs. Martha did an awesome job making my dogs feel comfortable in her home. She even bought food for my dog when the food I provided ended up not being enough. (Reimbursed, but that’s not the point - her care was exceptional!) She sent me pictures of my dogs throughout their stay with her. She even took them for a walk (Yennefer is good on a leash, Ty, not so much). I was so relieved that Ty got along with her young child. He’s a rescue, so I know little about his past.

Martha (and family) took care of our needy Golden Retriever for 3 days during a short family trip where we could not bring Sky. She was very well taken care of and loved. I received about 20 photos and texts during her stay updating me on how things were going. We recently found Martha as our previous caregiver moved to another state. Martha seems to genuinely love dogs and gave our baby a warm and caring environment. Her schedule and adaptability were very helpful to us, and I look forward to planning our next trip knowing our Sky will be well taken care of should we not be able to bring her.

Martha and her family gave our fur baby a loving home while we were on vacation. We are so grateful. We appreciated the loving care, the photos and the updates while we were gone. Thank you, Martha!
