Our rescue has a lot of anxiety and we were worried about how she would do in a new setting but Martha was willing to meet ahead of time and was great at communicating throughout they stay. It really eased my mind and Gem did great! Will definitely use again

Matha has taken such special care of my boy. She's made him part of her family, and he's become part of her dog's pack. They are such special people, and I cannot recommend them enough. It's a perfect, loving home for anyone's best friend.

We had a fantastic experience with Martha as my dog sitter! She was incredibly friendly. My dog was treated like family, with full access to all her furniture. She allowed him to go in and out of her house to the backyard freely. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and accommodating dog sitter!

Martha is a wonderful human! She took such good care of our pup, and was so kind and communicative throughout the stay. I could tell our girl felt right at home, we appreciate everything so much! I would not hesitate to ask Martha for help in the future, should we need it.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority, non-aggressive breeds only. I will host up to 3 pets at a time, ensuring your dog/s receives individualized attention and care. I follow a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and potty breaks, and I will only feed your pet the foods you approve - no table scraps or human food. My spacious, fenced yard ensures your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Cozy lounging spots are scattered throughout my home for rest and relaxation after a day of fun. I do require a "Meet and Greet" prior to hosting your pet/s.

A typical day

Each day is tailored to the specific needs and energy levels of your pet. However, a typical day in my home is filled with love, attention, and plenty of fun activities to keep your pet happy and engaged. Since I work from home, your furry friend will never be alone and will receive constant companionship throughout the day. Morning: We start the day with a morning play session in my spacious, fenced yard. Your dog can enjoy a game of fetch, swim in the doggy pool, or practice agility. This provides them with ample exercise and stimulation right at home. Mid-Morning: After a fun-filled playtime, it's breakfast time. I follow your specified feeding routine to ensure your pet gets the nutrition they need. Afterward, there’s some quiet time for your dog to relax and digest, with cozy spots available for lounging. Afternoon: Midday brings another opportunity for outdoor activities. Whether it's more fetch, exploring the yard, or engaging with interactive toys, your dog will stay active and entertained. I closely supervise all activities to ensure safety and prevent any accidents. Lunch and Potty Breaks: Lunchtime is followed by a potty break to keep their routine consistent. I ensure that your pet sticks to their diet and doesn’t get any table scraps or human food. Early Afternoon: In the early afternoon, we might have some more playtime in the yard, incorporating fun training exercises to keep your dog mentally stimulated. This is also a great time for any special activities your dog enjoys, like tug-of-war or puzzle toys. Late Afternoon: Late afternoon is a great time for individual attention. Whether it’s a special game, a gentle massage, or simply spending time together, I make sure your pet feels loved and secure. Evening: As the day winds down, we have another play session in the yard to help your dog burn off any remaining energy. Afterward, it’s time for dinner, followed by more quiet time to relax and unwind before bedtime. Throughout the day, I provide constant supervision and ensure that your dog’s needs are met with love and care. Your pet will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment, making their stay a happy and memorable one.
