Pet care experience

Safe, Calm & Cozy Home for Your Dog

I've had the joy of caring for dogs for over 20 years, both my own and for friends and family. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve provided everything from playful walks to medication support and cozy cuddle time. I’m retired and home full time, so your dog will get lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and loving supervision throughout the day. What sets me apart is the calm, nurturing environment I provide. I treat every dog like part of the family! with patience, kindness, and affection. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. Whether your pup needs a quiet place to relax, a slow paced walk, or just someone to sit with them on the couch, I’m here to help. My gentle nature and calm home are especially ideal for senior dogs, shy pups, or dogs who need a little extra reassurance while you’re away.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 11, 2026

Martha has been really great. Gordie is well looked after, walked and loved while in her care. Some times he doesn’t even want to leave her house. Gordie gets along well with Martha’s dog as well and they have lots of play time together.

Martha was amazing! She took such good, loving care of my dog. She sent me cute pictures and let me know how she was. My dog liked being with her cute dog. Thank you Martha for your kindness!

My dog ​​Sophie has been cared for at Martha's house many times, and I think she feels very safe and comfortable there. Her adorable dog Chavo is also very calm, so I highly recommend it.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a dog owner and lover, I’m home full time and available throughout the day to give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening cuddle time, I’m here and fully present. My son Alexander also helps out daily, especially with walks, playtime, and making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship. Between the two of us, your pet will never be left alone, we work together to keep their routine consistent, stress free, and full of love. Weekdays and weekends are both flexible for us, so we’re able to accommodate early drop offs & late pickups!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet, pet friendly strata complex with a fenced grassy backyard, perfect for safe & supervised potty breaks and some fresh air. When more activity is needed, I take dogs on leashed walks in our peaceful neighborhood to give them a change of scenery and a chance to stretch their legs. Inside, there’s plenty of room for zoomies, toys, and relaxed downtime. I keep the home calm, clean, and free of hazards, and I always make sure your pet has a cozy space to feel safe and comfortable. Your dog will be supervised throughout the day and never left alone for long. I also believe that clear communication is key. I’ll always ask about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. Whether it's feeding times, potty routines, or favorite toys, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Your pup's well being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and with my son Alexander helping me every step of the way, your furry friend will always have a familiar, caring presence by their side.

Pets

A typical day

I love spending time outdoors with pets! I enjoy going on peaceful walks near the river and visiting local dog parks so pups can meet new friends and unwind. I also love heading to the park to play fetch with a ball or a squeaky rubber chicken, whatever gets the dogs to run around happily! Whether it's active playtime or a relaxed stroll, I make sure every pet has a great time doing what they love most.

Martha can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know if your pup has any preferences, routines, or special needs I should be aware of I'd love to make them feel as comfortable as possible! I'm open to caring for all breeds, though I do prefer hypoallergenic dogs or dogs that don't shed much, as I have mild allergies. Just keeping things honest so we can all have the best experience possible!
