Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & Caring Dog Sitter
I have grown up living with and looking after both dogs and 3 cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. Since moving out of my family home, I really miss having animals around and would love the opportunity to spend more time with them again. I’m a caring, responsible and animal-loving person who will treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, walks and cuddles ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Yoshi was so incredibly well looked after. I was in such a jam and Martha was able to accommodate Yoshi last minute. She sent me lots of updates and was so so good with him
Martha has looked after my dog Boo quite a few times and she is great. She keeps me updated with pictures and videos regularly and Boo seems to love staying there. Would definitely recommend Martha!
Has always looked after our cats when we are away. Really attentive and caring. Keeps everything clean and tidy. Happy to give medication to older cat. A natural with pets, real animal lover. Happy to recommend.

Schedule
I work from home Monday to Friday, 9–5, which gives me a flexible and reliable schedule for pet care. I always get out for a daily walk and some fresh air, so having a dog to join me would be a dream for me. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, as well as enjoy walks, playtime and cuddles before and after work. 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet apartment building with my partner, making it a calm and comfortable environment for pets. The building is peaceful, so even shy or nervous pets won’t be disturbed by loud noises or lots of activity. We also live right by a canal, which is perfect for lovely walks, and there is a small garden area attached to the building where pets can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time. I do not have any other pets at the moment and our apartment is spacious and clean.
A typical day
A typical day with me is centred around making sure your dog feels happy and comfortable. As I work from home from 9–5, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day and won’t leave them alone for more than a few minutes. We’ll start the day with a morning walk to get some fresh air and exercise, with plenty of time for sniffing and exploring. During the day, your dog can relax at home with me while I work, with regular toilet breaks, cuddles and attention. I live close to a canal and have a small garden area within the building, giving us some lovely options for getting outside. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding times, walks and any other instructions you leave. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. In the evening, we’ll have another walk and some playtime & cuddles depending on what your dog enjoys. I aim to make their stay feel as much like home as possible, while giving them lots of love, attention and reassurance.

- Before looking after your dog, I’d like to know a little about their personality, usual routine and anything that will help them feel comfortable and settled in my home. Please let me know about their usual feeding and walking routine and how they behave around other dogs and people. It’s also important for me to know about any medical needs, allergies or special requirements. Please also let me know anything your dog particularly loves, whether that’s long walks, playing, cuddles or having a quiet space to themselves that way I can make their stay as enjoyable as possible.
