Animal lover ❤️, very flexible!

Pet care experience

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 as often, but 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 typically available on most holidays. I am also, for the most part, available for last minute jobs. I no longer board or do doggy day care in my home. Your dogs comfort, their safety and your level comfort with me coming to or staying in your home are of the utmost importance to me. Many of my clients have fenced yards, which works out great for your pets, but it is still important to me not to leave them unattended as I am aware that fences aren’t always secure. Without a fence is of great concern to me as far as safety with your pet and I prefer to leash in that instance or follow strict direction as to your comfort level and preference in that instance. With regard to your home 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 offer and have me stay in their home multiple times each year.

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

Martha did a great job taking care of my girl while I was away for a long weekend. I got an update everyday on how she was doing and some pictures/videos while I was away. Hard to leave your pup but this made it easier!

Martha Jane was wonderful! She was so friendly to use and very kind and reassuring. She took pictures of our fur babies and sent them to us and kept us updated on their wellbeing. We couldn't have asked for more!

Information Martha Jane D. would like to know about your pet

Habits, likes, dislikes anc quirks. Anything you can tell me that will help them be most comfortable and at ease while you are away. Obviously since my little sidekick Fro is by my side all the time, I need to know your dogs tolerance of other dogs.

A typical day

* I no longer off boarding services or doggy day care in my home. On occasion, I may try to accommodate for small pets who are able to be in the home with my small poodle. While staying in your home, I stay engaged with your pets and make sure they get all the exercise , play time and attention they need. For my repeat clients, it’s goal of mine to ensure your fur babies are always happy to see me!
