Pet care experience
Your pet's new best friend !!!
Hi All, I have had many pets throughout my lifetime. I grew up with horses, rabbits, dogs and cats. I grew up in a rural area so my family home was always a welcome place for all animals. In my adult life I cared for two cats that I loved dearly for close to twenty years. Over those years I gained lots of experience caring for my pets from being a playful kitten right through their twilight years. I've looked after many of my friends' dogs and cats while away on holiday and I have really enjoyed looking after each and everyone of them. I'm very comfortable taking care of older cats or dogs in need of medicine regularly. I will also be more than happy to take dogs out to their favorite parks, trails, etc... Looking forward to meeting your cuties.

Safety, trust & environment
Although, I am unable to care for your pets in my home due to a no pet policy in my building. I know... what a bummer. I am happy to care for your pets in the comforts of their own home. I'm also happy to take them out for their daily and favorite outdoor routines
Ratings and reviews
Martha is AMAZING! She went above and beyond, proactively asking to come early to meet our dog and learn about her before taking her out the first time. She had detailed questions, and then when she came back, gave us a full rundown. Our dog is not the best walker, and Martha gave us real training tips that WORKED to improve her walking for all of our sakes. I would 100% work with her again!
We love Martha! She’s loving, attentive, and patient with our grumpy, finicky senior dog, and a fantastic communicator with us. We’d be lost without her!
Martha was amazing with our dog Teddy when we needed someone to come walk him last minute. She was communicative and thoughtful about how to introduce herself to Teddy and what he needed from his walk, and kept us updated.
Martha did an incredible job being a dog chaperone for Charlie during our civil marriage ceremony in SF City Hall! We were just doing the quick ceremony then photos for a couple of hours ahead of our bigger international wedding later, but we really wanted Charlie to be involved while not being a distraction to us, the photographer, the officiant, or the few guests we had coming from across the country. Martha did an amazing job keeping Charlie entertained, and she was great at reading the room and knowing when to be close by with Charlie or step away a bit if Charlie seemed to be getting antsy or bored. I didn’t give her any instructions really (definitely could’ve planned better on my part!) yet the whole experience felt smooth because Martha was very attentive to both Charlie’s needs and moods and the overall situation. While Charlie is a huge people person, he can definitely get grumpy and bored being in the same place doing nothing, but Martha kept him in such a good mood that he was smiling and cooperative any time we needed him for pictures. She also took some amazing solo shots of Charlie, which we will treasure forever!
Martha has been great with our doodle Donnie. She’s always reliable, punctual, and sends great photos and updates after every walk. Donnie clearly loves her, and we really appreciate the care and attention she gives her each week.
Martha is great! She went above and beyond with Luna!
