Pet care experience

i love dogs all types ❤️

I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, starting with dogs in my neighborhood, family, and friends’ homes. Over the years, I’ve gained experience providing loving care through walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, companionship, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their families are away. Now at 26, my passion for animals has only grown. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or just needs extra love and attention, I strive to provide dependable and personalized care. I offer in-home pet sitting and travel visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable in their own environment while receiving the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication routines (if needed), and keeping your pets happy and stress-free while you’re away. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and my goal is to give every pet the same love and care I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment

Your fur baby will be safe with me as they will always be in my eyesight. I am comfortable with crates and also just laying around. Most of the time unless told from owners I don’t mind the fur baby snuggling with me. We’ll play, nap, run…etc

Dog Walking • Oct 04, 2026

Marte sent so many photos and did such a great job with the dog walk! Will definitely be hiring Marte again (and already have for a November dog sitting visit)!

She was a very good dog sitter. Mercades had lots of fun, enjoyed her self, and didn't want to leave. I will definitely be booking with her again.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 10, 2022

Nyla has been cared for for the last three weeks by Marte! Nyla is happy well trained and loved on. Being able to see the relationship Nyla has with Marte as a caregiver is one a dogmom wishes for. It truly warms my heart to see both of them smile during drop off. She really goes above and beyond as well as communicates ideally.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 05, 2022

I am a recurring client of Marte! She has been so well with Nyla to help her learn and grow. It has been one of my best decisions going into the new year! She also loves your pets as her own!

Boarding • Jan 02, 2022

Marte was fantastic! Ginger was happy and well cared for. Ginger is quite large and can be reactive to other dogs, but she loved Marte and her dog family and had a great time! Marte kept us informed and sent lots of great pictures so we knew she was having a great time and did not worry. We hope to have Marte care for Ginger again!

Doggy Day Care • Dec 30, 2021

Marte is amazing! She made me feel so uncomfortable leaving my puppy. I noticed how happy Nyla was arriving to Marte’s each morning. It really warmed my heart to see how much Marte and Nyla bonded. Nyla truly enjoys Marte’s spacious home and yard. I can’t think Marte enough for her care, love, and attention to my baby. Oh and not to mention, Nyla has developed greatly while in her care. More trained and listening to commands with little to no prompting! I owe Marte big time and beyond grateful for her❣️❣️❣️Nyla will be there every week from here on out. Thanks Marte!!
