Highlights
Pet care experience
Confident and Kind
I got my first dog, Jackie, back in January 2020 after growing up around animals through my formative years. Now I have 3 dogs whom I adore, and walking them is my happy place! I recently left my corporate job to get more connected to myself and what I love, and a major part of that has been spending time with animals. I respect each animals autonomy, and am particularly attuned to dog body language thanks to Jackie, who is very smart and sensitive. My number one goal is to keep the animals in my care safe and build up their confidence in the kindness of humans.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in yard with a doggy door, so all animals have access to the outdoors when needed. I have 4 dogs in my house that are all friendly and welcoming to other dogs, but I can easily keep an unsure animal separate with baby gates or crating. In your home I follow your rules and schedule to keep you and your pet comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Martha was fantastic! She house sat for our dog Georgie and our 3 kitties. Our 13 year old kitty needs a number of medications and special diet instructions and Georgie also needs medications, and Martha handled everything with ease. She took Georgie on daily walks and played with her in our yard when it wasn't raining. She sent daily updates and pictures, and was very communicative. There were a few small things for the house we asked her to do (like roll our garbage bins) which we were very grateful she did. She left our house just the way we left it, and you would have never known someone was staying with us. Our pets were so at ease when we got home because she spent so much time with them during our trip. We highly recommend Martha!
Martha was great with our pets and home as well as being very responsive! Highly recommend
Martha was great for a 5-day stay with my senior pug. Martha cheerfully provided meals, meds, walks, and cuddles. She sent daily check-ins and photos. I highly recommend her!
Martha was great with pet sitting my young dog Sammy! Sammy has separation anxiety and she was wonderful about distracting him while I left, sending me regular updates about him, and even being very accommodating when I was late coming home. I would recommend her for any do sitting duties.
Martha has watched our dog many times in the past and she is a very responsible and caring dog sitter and dog owner. She’s did a great job giving our dogs the exercise they needed and keeping them happy while we were away. I highly recommend!
Martha has helped me with my dogs throughout the past few years, from assisting with vet appointments to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for my dogs. She has always treated my animals with respect and care. I trust Martha with my dogs more than anyone else and am always happy to have her help when my schedule gets too busy to do it alone.

Schedule
I have a part time job that takes me away from the house up to 5 hours per shift, 2-3 days a week otherwise my schedule is very flexible. I have time for breakfast and walks before I go into work, so I typically try to get all their wiggles out so they can have a nice nap while I’m away!
