Information Martie G. would like to know about your pet

I only sit for dogs who are *cat friendly* as we do have outdoor cats who are part of the family. I prefer non-aggressive breeds.

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood, fetch in the back yard, lots of affection! Morning is for breakfast and then play time... and then naps and play time again. I usually let the dog(s) dictate the day. Walks around the neighborhood, if requested.

Pet care experience

Hi! My love for animals began at a very young age and I can't remember when pets haven't been a part of my life. I am a proud pet mama to Roxy, an English lab. I have several references who will gladly speak of my compassion and abilities to care for animals and my dedication. I provide the utmost quality pet care for responsible pet parents. As a pet lover myself, I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets. My clients can rest assured that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt pet care for their four-legged family members. I work from my home full time, so I will be available to meet your beloved fur baby's needs.

Martie was so good to Daisy! She sent daily pupdates and Daisy always looked relaxed, comfortable, or like she was having such a fun time! I was so comfortable with Martie watching over Daisy and did not worry at all during my trip. They both instantly connected (also Roxyyy!) when they first met so I knew it would be a good fit! Will definitely be leaving Daisy with Martie again.

Martie was welcoming from the very beginning and made us feel comfortable right away. She showed us where Bella would be staying, which gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We also appreciated the updates she sent while we were away. Bella was clearly well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Martie again for future sittings.

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.
