Pet care experience

The biggest passion in my life is dogs. Since I was a little girl, they’ve always been around. When I couldn’t go to vet school after college, I studied to become a dog trainer and behavioral specialist. After that, I opened and worked at a successful dog hotel in Mexico. When I moved back to New York, I knew I wanted to continue to be around dogs. I’ll provide a happy stay for your pup, being sure to keep them active and safe! I live in a wonderful apartment in Harlem with my spouse, who like me, loves and cares for dogs and will help care for yours. We also live with our 7 pound Yorkie-mix rescue dog, Kia. She is calm and quiet and enjoys naps during the day, but is sweet and welcoming to other pups. When I’m not caring for pups, I enjoy exercising - biking, walking, free weights - I love it all! Sports are a huge part of my life as I used to play professional soccer with the Mexican national team! I also love going out to dinner or to the movies but it’s always nice to snuggle up with Kia, reading a good book! I’m extroverted and love to make new friends and get to know each other over long conversations. I treat every dog that I care for as my own and I know how stressful it is to be away from your furry friend. I’ll provide you with an update on our day, photos and videos of your pup, and any other details you’d need to know!

Martha is awesome with dogs! Martha has always showed a great amount of commitment towards my dogs. She makes sure they feel loved and most important, treats them like they are their own. That level of commitment has always made me feel at ease whenever I have to go on trips. A wonderful dog sitter and person!

Martha's extensive experience managing a successful pet hotel as well as being a passionate dog owner showcases not only her love for animals but also her professional skills caring for them.

I've known Martha for a while now and she has taken care of my dogs multiple times. She has a background as a dog trainer and used to own a big Pet hotel in México. She is very friendly, knowledgable and loving and was always on top of the health of my furry one's. I would not hesitate to recommend her as she is great at doing what she likes the most.

Information Martha C. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I’d be happy to set up a meet and greet in a neutral location to make sure your pup will fit in with my family. I also like to learn about your dog’s daily schedule and routine, specifically their feeding and play habits. Any medical issues or problem areas about your dog will help me to provide the best care possible!

A typical day

I live in a cozy and comfortable apartment in Harlem, only two blocks from the East River, making it a perfect spot for walks and potty breaks. There’s also a wonderful park just beside my building, which my dog Kia loves to play in. Everyone in our neighborhood is friendly and welcoming, no matter your dog’s size or breed! When on a stay with me, your pup will enjoy daily walks at whatever speed and frequency they need! At home, we’ll have treats, play, and cuddle. Anything your dog needs, I’ll be happy to provide it!
