Providing a loving space

Pet care experience

You will get back a happy, loved, and hopefully tired dog after staying with me! I love capturing my dog pals in their natural element with pictures! I believe pictures show you more than my words can tell you about how things are going! Whether it's capturing a smiling lab waiting for the ball to be tossed, or a happy pug dozing on the couch, you'll get lots of messages from me so you can be away with peace of mind! I live with my mother and my labradoodle. She helps watch and love on my dog guests.

Martha was great every step of the way! We felt extremely comfortable and confident with her skills. Her backyard is a paradise and her dog Bear is the sweetest.

As always, Lucca had the best time and we are never worried about her in Martha's care! We are able to enjoy our time knowing Lucca is well loved and taken care of!! We don't know what we would do without Martha and Bear!

Patsy is amazing!! I’m pretty sure our dog was upset we returned to pick him up. Can’t ask for better care and photo updates! The best 💕

We loved working with Martha...she provided excellent care for our dog and updates with pics! It was really nice knowing that our dog was being cared for while we were out of town. An awesome experience and we will definitely do this again.

Information Martha A. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if your dog is dog friendly. I also want to know how playful and calm. I want to know if your dog has any fears. I’m interested in if your dog has any habits to watch out for (countersurfing, trying to ingest toys, resource guarding). I’m curious how well your dog walks on leash. I’m curious about your dog’s sound triggers- for example - do they bark at the mail truck, delivery trucks, etc. I want to know about your dog’s “normal” day including eating amounts/routine, when they potty/how often, how they signal their need to potty, and exercise schedule. Also if your dog is on a restricted diet please let me know.

A typical day

A stay with me includes enjoying walks, play in my fenced yard, nap/cuddle and enjoy meals! I have lots of toys, treats and dog beds.
