Boarding • Aug 14, 2026

Our eleven year old terrier/shih-tzu mix had not been boarded since she was a year old, having stayed with family or friends during our past trips. Marti was a life saver and played a huge part in our ability to relax on our vacation. Ms. Marti is on the ball with communication. When we checked in on Izzie to see how they were doing, she responded immediately and often provided pictures. After two days, Izzie was giving nose kisses to Marti and by day 3 slept next to Marti on the sofa. Marti is so warm and personable, and she communicated ahead of time the plans she had in advance, letting us know when she'd be out and where Izzie would be- which of course was absolutely fine. The majority of the time she was at home. She kept us abreast of when they walked and how Izzie was doing overall, as well as her food intake and "peas and carrots." She understands dogs and has lots of experience, providing a warm and safe home away from home for your fur baby. We will book again if we are ever in the central Florida area for vacation. Thank you, Marti!!!

Marti was wonderful from beginning to end. She took care of our girls like they were hers. Kept notes on everything she did with them and had great feedback on how it went. Her house is lovely with a fenced back yard and it was such a comfort to know that our dogs would be her only animal responsibility of the visit. She loves spending lots of time with the animals, it's clear that it's a labor of love. We will be return customers!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 04, 2026

I was new to Rover and feeling nervous about leaving my little Ziggy (and my parents little Zoey!) with someone I didn't personally know. I spent a bit of time carefully reading profiles and reviews before choosing Marti — and she turned out to be even better than I hoped! From our very first messages, Marti was incredibly responsive and reassuring. She quickly put my mind at ease with her sweet demeanor, clear communication, and genuine care. Once she met my pups, it was obvious she has a true gift with dogs! She treated them with love and attention, and cared for them as if they were her own. Marti is an empathetic, kind-hearted person who clearly pours her heart into what she does. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my family. I highly recommend her without any hesitation — she’s a true 5-star gem! Thank you, Marti, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family. We’re so grateful! Ziggy and Zoey had a wonderful time with you.

We are so thankful to have found Marti! It is clear that she LOVES dogs and took great care of Scout for us while we were gone. We're already looking ahead to book with her again. I appreciated the detailed updates and pictures of Scout while we were traveling. Knowing that your pup is in good hands is so important and Marti certainly provides that peace of mind! Don't hesitate booking with Marti, your furry family members will be well loved and cared for with her!

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fenced in along the back and down the sides along with gates on both sides. I will stay outside with your dog(s).

A typical day

Being outside is vital and with a fenced in yard your dog(s) will have plenty of exercise. My neighborhood has sidewalks which makes it nice for walking. Of course I am cognitive of not having dogs walking on hot cement or staying outside too long in extreme heat.

Age, likes, dislikes, eating habits, medications, special needs. I did have a senior blind dog and have sat for a dog that needed to be expressed. Important to know if the dog is socialized. Owner to provide food, meds (if needed), toys, crate, harness, leash, bedding, and, of course, the dog. *** Please note I am willing to take up to two (2) dogs as long as they are from the same family and fit the criteria specified.
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.
