Pet care experience

Reno/Sparks area only

I grew up on a farm caring for cows, horses, chickens, sheep, and goats. My passion for animals has brought joy and purpose to my adult life, and I have since been given many opportunities to be involved with people's pets. For 3 years, I was employed as a live-in dog/house sitter by a family who owned 3 dogs and a cat. After they moved, I took on pet sitting/walking/grooming for friends, family and clients. I am proud of my commitment in adhering to meal schedules, walks, potty breaks and check-ins. Bathing and grooming come natural for me as well, and I am more than able to assist in that area if needed. Your loved ones deserve the best treatment!

Martha was punctual, trustworthy, and followed all instructions carefully. She kept me updated with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely request her again the next time I leave town.

Martha took great care of Topi while I was away. She played with her, kept her comfortable, and did a wonderful job. I’d happily recommend her!.

Martha did an incredible job with my dog Radar! She’s caring, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Radar loved spending time with her and came home calm and content. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!

Please be upfront about the barking habits and attack history of your pets. My preference is for dogs that calm down quickly and don't bark incessantly. I get headaches easily and need respite from loud noises.
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.
