New in town, but great references!

Pet care experience

*Update: My Toby passed away and I haven’t deleted him from my profile. My heart is broken😢 As a new empty nester and a lover of my Toby, I will give all the care and attention your pet needs. I’m training for a half marathon, so any exercise your pet needs is welcome! I give lots of hugs, too! Now that my children are gone and my Toby is, I want to use all my years of taking care of pets to fill a void. Believe me, your pet will get more then all my attention while at your home. My arms will be around them or looking in their eyes and talking to them much of the time. I grew up in Southern California and I love to take my dogs on walking/hiking adventures. I will follow any instructions that you have. I know what it was like to leave my Toby, so I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. My phone is always next to me, so any photos or videos? Just ask! I actually should have been a dog photographer! I’m looking forward to meeting your family member and giving both of you a memorable and lasting experience...hopefully over the years I would love to become part of your family!

Martha was fantastic. Seriously, you won’t find a dog sitter who does more to make your dog happy and your life better. I’m not one to write hyperbolic reviews, but I have to say, Martha goes above and beyond!

Martha was wonderful and super accommodating. Our previous sitter canceled on us last minute and Martha made herself available to us.when we needed to stay away longer than expected,she easily worked w us there too. We are very grateful

Martha is very accommodating and obviously a huge dog lover. Molly was well taken care of (spoiled I’m sure). We would use Martha again.
