Pet care experience

Young retiree has all day to play

I am active, retired and love animals. What better way to spend the day? I love long walks. I have lived here for 40 years and have lots of references. I have rescued 6 dogs and one racehorse over the years. I have a lot of experience and am very flexible. I will treat your pet as one of our own and give you updates on what they have been up to. Think of the freedom you will have once your pet and you become comfortable with someone who knows and understands them. My husband and I do travel but the rest of the time I am available for whatever your pet needs. In your home or ours. I can water the plants and bring in the mail.

Our pup enjoyed his stay at Martha’s home. We would highly recommend her as a sitter. She sent us pictures and comments during our pup’s stay. Definitely a dog lover🐶

Martha was great! A true dog lover. Toby had a great stay with lots of walks and play time with her friendly black lab mix.

Fern seemed completely relaxed at Martha’s both at drop off and pick up - as sometimes she can be hesitant to even enter a different house at first as she knows we are leaving. The other doggies Martha watched seemed sweet and mellow and got along. Fern came home happy and not traumatized at all from being away or staying with dominating dogs. Martha’s house is beautiful with lots space and wooded areas which our doggies loves. Would not hesitate to hire Martha again - it was so nice to be on vacation at the beach without guilt or worry about our doggie!

Having just moved here from out-of-state, I was so pleased to get connected with Martha. Pippa was at ease with Martha and I was able to have a few hours to take care of some personal business knowing she was in good hands. I look forward to using Martha's services in the future. You can feel confident leaving your beloved pup in her care.
