Pet care experience

Dog lover, Home full-time

I would be happy to provide a safe, stable, and fun home for your pet while you're away at work or out of town. I am available for boarding, daycare, and walks, and my goal is for your dog to be excited to come back again. I grew up with German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Yorkies, and I have volunteered with several animal shelters over the years. My family has one friendly male Golden Retriever who enjoys meeting new canine friends. I typically only host one guest family at a time so that every dog receives plenty of attention and care. If you have multiple pets from the same household, I may be able to accommodate them together. As a dog owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else. You can feel confident knowing that I will treat your dog like one of my own. Your pup will enjoy the comforts of home, plenty of attention, and a caring environment during their stay. I do require a meet & greet before a first overnight booking to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's a good fit. Please be upfront about your dog's personality, routines, and any special needs. I'll will be honest if I don't think I can meet your expectations. Whether your dog is staying for a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks, I'll do my best to make their stay safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. Special needs or specific instructions for your pet can be catered to. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me.

This was the first time our Zoe was being cared for by someone other than family. We were going out of the country for 2 weeks. We didn’t have to worry at all. Martin walked her and Zoe played with his dog, Chewy and had the best time! Martin shared all kinds of great pics while we were away as well. Thank you Martin & Chewy for taking care of our baby girl (even though she’s 9)!!

Another great stay for my pup! My anxieties while traveling are always at ease knowing he has such a safe place to play with his friends and learn. He clearly loves hanging out in the backyard and going on his walks.
