Availability
I am currently not working, so my schedule is very flexible! As long as I am aware of a booking at least one day in advance, I can be flexible and allot time for taking care of your furry friend! Interacting with animals is an experience that truly brings me joy and always brightens my day. Thus, I will always prioritize pet care and plan my day around it to ensure I have plenty of time to focus on the pets I am responsible for!

About Martha C.

Safety, trust & environment
I pay great attention to clients’ requests when caring for their pets in their homes. I recognize that a person’s home is a very personal space, filled with things that are important to the people who live in it. Additionally, I am well aware of the fact that pets feel most comfortable at home! It is truly a special opportunity to be able to interact with an animal in its own environment, which it has grown to feel so comfortable in. I honor any and every request made by the owner and care for each pet as carefully as I would care for my own! I am also a pet owner, which allows me to relate to the anxiety that pet owners often feel when leaving their fur babies in the hands of someone else. I focus on never invading spaces in which I am not supposed to be, as I know I would want someone to do the same if they were in my home. I provide many updates to the owners and ask them what they need from me in order to feel as comfortable as possible about their pets!
Information Martha C. would like to know about your pet
Prior to caring for a pet, I like to know a few important bits of information. Firstly, I like to be aware of the general personality of the animal I am caring for. Different animals have different personalities which results in different ways of displaying how they feel. I like to know what they are sensitive to on walks (if anything) and general things they may like or dislike that I should be aware of. Making pets feel comfortable is always my priority so knowing anything necessary to do so would be helpful not only for me but for your pet as well!
A typical day
Interacting with the dogs that I watch varies based on their personalities! I am very receptive of dogs’ energies and take time to understand whether they need play, exercise, or simple companionship. I love to go on walks with dogs, as it allows me to better connect with them while also giving them the opportunity to get their sniffs in and explore the outside world. I often try to engage in various types of play using dogs’ favorite toys!

Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Martha! I’m currently working towards a master’s degree but love to integrate caring for pets into my daily schedule. I grew up with dogs and trained each one as a puppy starting from when I was as young as 9 years old. I have helped friends and family members in nurturing stronger relationships with their pets by suggesting various ways to connect with their pets to better understand their needs. About 3 years ago, I rescued a kitten and have trained her as I have done with my dogs. Her name is Eevee and she is a black cat! She knows various tricks, commands, and even goes on hikes with me in her harness and leash. I also have a Golden Retriever named Ringo! I believe I have a special ability to connect with and understand animals, as they have been a part of my life ever since it began.
Reviews
Martha was an amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of my cat Venus, and always kept me updated with the cutest photos. It was obvious that she really connected with her and made her feel comfortable while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing Venus was in such good hands, which allowed me to really relax on my trip. I’d 100% book Martha again! Highly recommend! 🐾💛
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Martha was amazing with Kobe, who is super high energy and not always the best boy on leash. She sent me so many updates that I was away at work tearing up from relief of having found someone so great for Kobe and because he looked so happy! Highly recommend, 10/10!!
Martha was a big help to us while we had to go out of the country for a last minute family emergency. She took great care of Max and was so sweet and patient with him. We really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much, Martha. It really means a lot to us. We would definitely trust her with Max again!
Martha is amazing! She watched my cat while I was away, she kept me informed and gave me lots of updates and pictures. She also did a fantastic job taking care of my fur baby. I was able to relax on my trip because I know my pet was getting the best care. I will definitely be using her in the future!
