Semi-retired, caring animal lover
Pet care experience
I have owned or cared for all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses and had a pet Vervet monkey, a bush-baby, and a mongoose while living in Tanzania! These exotic pets were pretty special, but not the sort of pet I expect to see in Toronto. I have trained many dogs over the years and will reinforce your training regime while your dog is in my care. I love the outdoors, in all seasons. If you live nearby or your dog is staying over, I look forward to sharing the trails of Taylor Creek Park with them!
Reviews
Martin always takes great care of our dog - and the house. He’s super responsive, conscientious, and has a great rapport with our golden boxer, who can be a handful. 💯recommended!
Martin was absolutely amazing while taking care of my cat Luna during my trip. He kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Luna was clearly well cared for when I returned home. Martin went above and beyond to make sure all her needs were met. Highly recommend!
Martin did a wonderful job watching Atlas while we were away. He provided updates and plenty of photographs and took care of all of his needs. Atlas needed a few spots to be cleaned and medicated from before his stay with martin, and Martin followed instructions and was able to take great care to help those spots heal.
Martin did a great job with Atlas. As Atlas gets older, there are a lot more details to keep in mind, and Martin really cared to make sure he understood everything. I felt at ease leaving Atlas with him and was further convinced that this was the right choice when Atlas wanted to go back inside initially when I first picked him up.
