Information Marta B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs any special care. I've been through a lot with my pups and can administer medication and be reliable in stressful situations.

A typical day

Sometimes I make interactive games that involve looking for a treat. I also love teaching tricks, going on hikes and playing with ball or frisbee in the field.

Pet care experience

Experienced dog owner and sitter. Studied dog psychology to become a good dog parent. Had two female spaniels who passed earlier this year. We used to compete in dog frisbee and hunt. Also have experience working in a grooming salon, as well as walking and boarding various size dogs - from labs and German shepherds to Jack Russel terriers and mini Aussies. Additionally at no cost I can provide basic behavioural training and teach new tricks - I love to communicate with dogs of any breed and move in one rhythm with them. And I really feel their needs and able to connect with dogs of all ages. I can board puppies and older dogs, take them for a walk someplace new and play ball or frisbee. But safety and well-being is my main focus and if your dog doesn't want too much activity, I can provide a more mellow experience, too. Available on weekdays and weekends but please make appointments at least 2 days in advance. I would love to meet your furry friend!

Parker can be shy in a new environment but Marta took the time to get to know him and took great care of our guy. Thank you! We will definitely come back :)

Marta is amazing. Super friendly and kind. Bear loved her and felt very comfortable with her. I hope she becomes a regular walker/sitter for Bear. Thank you, Marta!

Marta did a fantastic job at watching our dog multiple times when my wife and I would go out of town. She boarded our dog, took him on walks to various parks and hiking trails, and she was very easy to get a hold of to see how our dog was doing. I wish we had a good dog sitter here in Texas like Marta.
