Martha can care for
Availability
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!

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.
Information Martha R. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has separation anxiety or cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours please let me know! As I mentioned I have a part time job 2-3 days a week that might not fit with your pets schedule. Let’s chat about what will work best :)
A typical day
I’m a walker so lots of walks and play time! Also cuddles of course. I try my best to stick to their routine, with extra activity if necessary to help pets not feel too anxious when their parents are away.

Pet care experience
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.

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.
