Safety, trust & environment

We all deserve to feel safe when we leave any property or loved ones in someone else's care. I respect your boundaries and will commit to following your requirements and restrictions for myself and your pets.

Information Martha S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

With my active lifestyle, I travel all over the city for walking and hiking trails. I enjoy playing tug of war, fetch, and treat games to enhance their experience with obedience training. My favorite activity is grooming, especially for dogs that love to be pampered.

Pet care experience

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!.
