Pet care experience

Your dog will be part of our family

We are a family of 4, my husband, and I, 2 older teens, and a very spoiled english bulldog. Petunia is our only pup now. She joined us in 2019 and has been obsessed with my husband since day 1. She rarely joins the rest of the pack as she prefers to be with him in his office. About this sitter: I'm a stay at home mom, who's kids are older and independent, which means I have free time on my hands. What better way to spend my time than with dogs who need attention while their owner's are away. I will travel no farther than a 5 miles radius from my home area. I will walk and play with your dog for as long as it is needed. I have a car which means I can be there quickly if need be. Why I love dog sitting Since I can remember I have loved dogs and all sorts of pets. I grew up with all different breeds of dogs. I also had birds, cats, turtles, and iguanas. Meet my pets We live a house with a small yard. About my yard We have a small fenced yard with turf. It's under a very old walnut tree that give great shade all day. My experience administering medication I'm very comfortable administrating meds.

Martha and her family take such great care of Morty. He always loves his stay, and we’ll happily keep booking with them.

Martha and her family are amazing. Our big puppy (not yet 2) looooves going there. They are kind and generous dog lovers who have a way of chilling that offers a great boarding space for both of our very different dogs. I can totally relax when our dogs are with Martha!

Martha is lovely!! Our little Felix spent a weekend with Martha and family and received great care. We received regular updates and knew the little guy was having a blast hanging out in the yard. Martha was kind, low key, and just lovely. Thank you to Martha and family for taking care of Felix while we were away :-D

Schedule

This is my full time job. Your pup will always have someone with them in the house. We go out in the morning around 7am, then have breakfast, go out again around 12, play, have some treats. We usually go out again around 5 then have dinner and last time going out right before bed around 930pm.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is very dog friendly. They are allowed anywhere in the house. I also have crates if your pup prefers that when going to bed or I leave the house. Many times my kid will allow the dog to sleep with them in their room.

Pets

A typical day

We live in Georgetown which is a super dog friendly neighborhood. We had our yard done recently with turf which is great for our wet winters. Keeps everyone mud free. We spend a lot of time outside when the weather is nice.

Martha can host up to 4 pets per night
I have no breed preference. I would like to know about their temperament: are they friendly with other dogs? How much energy do they have?
