Safety, trust & environment

Since I am currently in an apartment I cannot offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am able to do drop in visits or take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood.

Information Marta P. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog up to date on all of their shots? Do they play well with others, or do they need to have their own space? Does your dog require any special care? Are they afraid of anything? How do they respond to strangers?

A typical day

I tend to take dogs on walks at least twice a day for 30-45 minutes. I also try to get them to the dog park to run around and socialize with other puppies. I keep tennis balls and bones laying around for them to gnaw on. They will be supervised while toys are out, so that they won't get hurt or accidentally swallow anything they shouldn't.

Pet care experience

Growing up, I had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, frogs, fish, and rats. I first started dog sitting while in college, mostly for my family and friends. I love being outside and taking my dog for a hike or to the dog park to play.

Marta was very good with providing us updates on how our dog was doing. We would definitely use her again!

Marta was able to accommodate us at the last second when we had made plans to go to a friends timeshare and their realized we forgot to deal with the dog! Marta to the rescue. She still loves going, we were unloading her stuff, my husband was getting out of the car to get her and she saw Marta and started the howl that she can do when she wants off her seatbelt because she wants to get into the dog park right now, only, it was 'I want to get to Marta right NOW." So as always, Marta's wonderful, accommodating and is my go to sitter.
