Safety, trust & environment

I have worked with dogs of all breeds and ages, along with owning (large) dogs throughout my entire life. I am very knowledgeable, experienced, and comfortable with the specific needs of each owner and pet. I am very conscious about animal behavior and their body language, as I want to be aware of how they are feeling. I send lots of pictures and updates so you are always up to date! I have a few cats at my house and I have a lot of knowledge of common cat behavior and health issues. I have dealt with diabetic cats and cats with bladder and kidney issues.

Information Martha S. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything that you would like me to know about your dog (medications, health issues, behavioral issues, exercise needs, etc), just let me know! I can work with you and your pet to get what you both need!

A typical day

Anything you need, I can do it! Runs, dog parks, car rides, swimming, walks, parks, etc! I just love being outside and being with animals! I also love snuggling up on the couch and watching a movie!

Pet care experience

I worked at Adogo, a dog daycare and boarding facility in Minnesota, for three years. I worked as a dog care supervisor (and front desk agent). I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and I have been on Rover for about 5 years. I am knowledgable in breeds, behaviors, food, and medications. I have two dogs and three cats, so I understand what it is like to leave your fur babies! Additionally, I have taken care of horses, sheep, and chickens. I absolutely adore anything and everything that has to do with animals!! I am very flexible with taking care of your pets. We can communicate about what you would like me to do. I can do walks, trips to the dog park, runs, etc. For sitting, I can work with crates, gates, fences, etc. Whatever your routine is, I can follow! I want to make sure your pets stick their routine as close as possible so they remain comfortable and confident.

Very thankful that Martha was able to watch Brandy again! We were kind of last minute and she was able to accommodate! She also sent pictures and took Brandy for some nice walks! Thank you!

Martha was a great sitter for Brandy! We came back to a clean house and she was sure to send lots of pictures of her and Brandy having fun in the snow. Thank you so much!

We had Martha overnight sit for our 3 year old dog this past weekend. Martha took such great care of her!! Martha took her for many walks and send many updates with pictures of what they were up to. It was such a comfort having someone at home with our pup while we were away who is so trustworthy, reliable and communicative. We for sure will be booking again!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
