Peace of Mind For You and Your Pet
Pet care experience
Animals make my world go 'round! After a career as a Flight Attendant, I became a Veterinary Receptionist for the most amazing clinic on the planet. Not only are the veterinarians skilled doctors-- they are teachers who enthusiastically share their wealth of knowledge with all of us lucky enough to work with them. After I retired, I became a pet sitter for many of the clients we worked with. It was an honor to have known many of them from the time they were puppies, and through their Golden Years. I have enjoyed the company of dogs (and a cat) since I was a kid. Dogs will always be part of my life! In addition to caring for several of my friends' pets, I write a column on dogs for a local publication.

Marti has been a blessing to us. Bandit loves his walks and visits with her.
Bandit lives his walks with Marti!
The best sitter! Thanks again
I had to leave town for 5 days and was so worried about leaving my cat. Marti was compassionate and amazing. So happy to have met her. She came in twice a day to see after Phoebe and was easily able to gain her trust. She sent me photos and communication every day. Will definitely be hiring her services again. Highly, highly recommended.

Unfortunately, I do not provide daycare for pets in my home. I have three older dogs who are set in their routines, and who enjoy a quiet and predictable lifestyle.

Information Marti B. would like to know about your pet
I want to make my time with your pets the best-- and safest-- experience that I can. I need to know if they have any medical, physical or behavioral issues. Do they enjoy the company of other pets? What's a typical day for him or her like? Being without an owner can be stressful for a pet. I want to get as close to a normal day for them as I can so that they-- and you-- can feel at ease.
A typical day
As a pet owner, my dogs are my family. When I travel or have to be away for an extended time, I have more "separation anxiety" than they do! I have to know that my dogs are in the best care possible. I have, also, experienced the anxiety of having older pets-- and special need pets-- who were unable to be boarded traditionally. Fortunately, I had family who were able to care for them the way I would care for them. I want you to feel that same peace of mind. I believe animals crave routine-- so I want to make my visits with your pet something that feels natural and comfortable to them. I would love to know what their typical day or evening with you is, and accommodate that to make them feel secure and happy. Please advise me if your pet has any medical, physical or behavioral issues that I need to know about. Let's work together to make this a great experience for both your pet-- and you!

Because I work from home, I am quite flexible. I look forward to caring for your furry family member when you are unable to be there with them!
