Playful, active, and responsible

Pet care experience

I adopted my pup from a shelter while in the military. She went from very timid and untrusting to super loving and playful through the years. She has been by my side for nearly 5 years. I have taken an animal cruelty course, have worked with military (k-9) dogs, have taken care of puppies, and have always been a lover of animals. I love being outside, am very active, very playful, but responsible. I love going on long walks or runs with dogs.

Very punctual, attentive, and caring with my dogs. They were all very excited to be walked by Martha and she did a good job understanding their distinct personalities. My dogs are very picky with people and they had no reservations with her!

Safety, trust & environment

I ask the owners for any potential restrictions, illnesses, or particular needs of their pet. I keep eyes on the pups while they are in the home to ensure that they do not get into anything that can potentially make them sick or injure them. I am used to pet sitting for family and friends. The pets are free to roam my condo as they wish. The pets are allowed on the furniture and my bed.

Information Martha D. would like to know about your pet

What is their feeding schedule like? What if any restrictions do they have? Do they need medication or special needs? How often do they need to go out and their feeding schedule? Do they tear anything or get into anything like food, trash, ect.? Will they be ok if I have to run out for any errands?

A typical day

I love long walks or going on runs depending on the weather. I love playing fetch, tug of war, going on trail walks, or just relaxing with some belly rubs. My dog loves to play, so they will definitely have each other to play as well!

I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to change my current work schedule as needed, so I will be able to easily accommodate for pet care. My goal is to eventually transition to doing this full-time if I get enough work.
