Pet care experience

Retired RN who loves animals.

I was raised on a farm & had many farm animal pets over the years . I volunteered for years at a Horse Rescue in NY and a Horse Ranch in Tucson, AZ & love being around all animals. I am willing to care for small animals (dogs & cats) as well as large animals (horses).

Schedule

I recently Retired from my nursing career to spend more time with my new little Grandson & family. My dog who was 15 and my cat who was 19 passed away last year, and have left a gaping hole in my life & heart & I have not been able to bring myself to get another pet yet as they can never be replaced. But I love being able to go to the Horse Rescue & being able to visit with friends & family pets for a “doggie or kitty fix”. So, I have plenty of free time to spend in caring for a pet. I just love being around animals!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 55+ community that allows me to offer boarding to cats, but not dogs. I am a retired RN, so, am home most of the time. All kitties are welcome to jump on the furniture & bed & cuddle!

A typical day

If housesitting a dog or cat, I will try to indulge them and earn their trust with lots of one on one time and play with their toys and try to keep them engaged in activities they like to do.

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Marti can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know of any special needs your pet has regarding habits, food, treats, medical conditions or required medication. If you want to write down a list of what your pet likes & dislikes, that would be very helpful
