Highlights
Pet care experience
I Heart Hounds
I was active in greyhound rescue and pet sitting for 7 years; having fostered over 25 greyhounds and have adopted 2 of my own. I have cared for all breeds from a tiny chihuahua to a large 120 lb. Newfoundland. Currently, I have no dogs as my hounds have passed on now. I have 2 cats from feral cat colonies. One from a colony I cared for when I lived on Long Island (NY), and one from a cat colony I care for here in Boiling Springs. I am retired and home all day. I have a large, shady fenced backyard for play. References available. Smoke free, flea free home.

Ratings and reviews
The pictures and the memes that she sent every day on our vacation, literally put me at ease. They also cracked me up.😂🤣 to find someone that obviously loves dogs & makes them feel at home is incredibly rare. I never want anyone else watching my dogs except for Martha. 💕💕💕
Our family loves Martha. She is our first choice when the boys need to stay behind.
Martha is our first contact when planning a trip. Our pups are well taken care of.
Martha was very welcoming and flexible with our schedule. Ruby seemed to really enjoy staying there.
Martha takes great care of our pups while we are away! She follows directions for medications perfectly. She sends pictures that we love seeing.
My boy instantly loved Martha and her home the moment we did a meet and greet. Martha is incredibly communicative and understanding and I will not hesitate to reach out to her again for my sitting needs in the future. Thank you so much!!

A typical day
Along with large, shady, fenced backyard — and lots of tennis balls— we have Boiling Springs Community Park and North Spartanburg (Miracle Park) nearby. And if they like sticks, we have a yard full! ?

- Temperament of course. Also, having turned 70 last year, I find I can’t handle the larger dogs anymore. I prefer the smaller breeds and dogs up to 50 lbs +\-. Also, I’ve had a bad experience with pit bull types, and would prefer not to board that breed.
