Flexible, fun, & relaxed sitter!
Pet care experience
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: I have my own 2 dogs that do not have care when I housesit/board. I bring them with me to house sits and they will be present when boarding. If it is NOT ok with you to add two large dogs to your space, please do not submit a request. They are both well behaved inside houses and get along well with other dogs and we are very clean! One is 140lbs and not neutered yet-soon to change. I am 33, and I’m taking a bit of a mental break after finishing my masters and am loving caring for dogs and cats! My schedule is very flexible and I work odd jobs to stay busy. I am able to be around often to care for pets! I have owned a dog since I was a young child. Two weeks after graduating from college, I got a black lab and now have a 6 year old yellow lab named Kodiak. and my partner has a 12 year old Yorkshire/Poodle mix. We then added Bigsby to the pack and he’s a 2 year old Great Dane/Mastiff mix. The care of my pets is of the utmost importance to me and I seek to provide those caring experiences for your pets as well! My animals get along with every other animal and human they've met and will welcome your friends into their space and happily play along! I love to be outside and my dogs are very high energy and active-so walking, swimming, and finding good spots to hang out is one of my favorite things to do! Rest assured that your pet will have a friend in me! I specialize in giant breed dogs, labs, and dogs with high anxiety who are afraid of people. I do charge extra for few first meet and greets with anxious dogs-it’s a slow process and a lot of extra work! Can provide references of other anxious/traumatized dogs that I’ve worked with. Just ask! I am taking covid precautions and I use my own leash and usually meet dogs in the yard or outside to avoid exposure and am sanitary when staying in other people’s homes. I have a mask I wear indoors and I keep wipes, gloves, and hand sanitizer with me and in my car.
Reviews
Thank you, Martha, for your help on short notice! Mila was happy and tired when we came home. We appreciated receiving updates and photos while we were gone. You were so attentive to details, responsive and upbeat, I knew our pup was in great hands with you. Thanks again!
Martha was great and took awesome care of Copper! I loved getting the photos of him at the dog park every day and playing with her pups! She kept me updated and was a great communicator.
Martha was OUTSTANDING! This was our first time using Rover, and I must admit I was very anxious about leaving our 8 month old pup with a sitter over the weekend. But, Martha sent us plenty of photos of Sunday playing and relaxing and keeping us informed on how well she was doing. When I picked her up from Martha’s, Sunday appeared to be very happy and content. We definitely will be using Martha again!
Martha was so great to work with! Everything was really easy to coordinate with her as well. I would highly recommend using Martha! She took great care of my cat, Frank while I was out of town.

I have an apartment with carpet to host your pups. Plenty of squishy dog beds and they’re allowed on furniture. We have a large field across the street for quick potty breaks or playtime and a neighborhood to walk around. I also do daily trips to parks with trails for us to roam both on and off leash.

Information Mar K. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know about their preferred commands, how they are on/off leash, how they are with other dogs, any medical or behavioral issues they have, and other special concerns or notes.
A typical day
I am new to the city and looking forward to exploring new parks and fun spots to go with animals! I love to throw for fetch, play tug or with other toys, I love to cuddle up and rest, sit outside and enjoy the day going by, and so much more! We take the dogs swimming quite often during warmer months as well. We love to hike and check out new trails. My dog comes with me almost everywhere I go so walking/car/bus rides may happen as well because I like to bring them with!

My life is mostly about my pups, let’s be honest! We go on 2-3 long (1+ hour) walks daily and are always down to go for new adventures. I love experiencing things with them! Your pup is welcome to join us!
