Animal lover ❤️, very flexible!

I know leaving your fur babies can be scary for both you and for them, believe me..I've been there. I'll do everything possible to make your time away as painless as possible for your family and to help keep your mind at ease by keeping in touch and keeping you updated as much as you like. A little about me: Well, I am an animal lover for sure. I have one quirky poodle named "Fro". He's my sidekick. I am patient and loving and Fro is pretty friendly. I have had either a dog or cat, or both, my entire life and since old enough have provided the primary care for our animals. I like people and children, of course, but I am partial to animals and fiercely protective of them. If you don't like animals, I'm actually a little leery about you! ❤️ I am very flexible and open to your requests and routines. I am home full-time, so again I'm very flexible to the needs of your pets! ***I have recently changed my profile not to host at my home at this time and only offer house sitting and drop-ins, but am still amenable to working out something to meet your needs!*** Other than traveling a few times a year or overlapping sitting jobs, I am generally always available for both daily drop ins and housesitting. I am, for the most part, available for last minute jobs. Your dog’s comfort, their safety and needs, as well as your level of comfort, with me coming into and/or staying in your home are of the utmost importance to me. Whether it be drop ins or over nights, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and will go above and beyond to make that happen. I hope my reviews on my stays on this site provide with some comfort as well as the knowledge that I have several clients that travel often and have me stay in their home multiple times each year and would be more than happy to provide a reference on my behalf.

Martha Jane took great care of Jasper, our 16.5 year old dog. She also took great care of our home! Highly recommend, and we will use her again!

Martha was perfect! She stayed the night with my chocolate lab and she did everything I asked. If you need a responsible person that you trust this is your girl. Will definitely use her again and refer her! I picked Martha because she was not the cheapest and knows the value of her time when you do a honest good job. Most comfortable I have ever felt. Thank you again!

Martha Jane took exceptional care of my girls! I’m very Thankful that my girls were very comfortable with her! My girls eat everything I do, and Martha Jane was kind enough to cook for my girls! And when I got home after driving almost 13hours she had dinner for the girls! It doesn’t get any better than that! She’s very kind and compassionate, as well as very communicative with me! I would give her 10stars if I could

As all pets are different in their needs, levels of energy, preferences and safety concerns, I cater my interactions and time with your pet specifically to your requests and instruction.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
