Pet care experience

I run,walk and throw the best balls

I grew up on a ranch with sheep dogs cow dogs guard dogs, bird dogs, and everything in between. I've owned catahoulas, chesapeaks, and now have a 5yo female spayed black lab. I work full time, so evenings and weekends are easiest my lunch hour is flexible. Almost always available before 8am and after 4:30 pm most days I have an 3/4 fenced .5 acre back yard, back off of the nearby road, and a 50-100 ft line of parachute cord for a long run and play line.

Martin did a great job with Millie! He very conscientiously kept her on shaded streets and took time to bond with her before the walk. She seemed to really love him.

Martin was a great pet sitter. He sent photos and gave plenty of updates on the doggies. He made sure they had all their needs met. I highly recommend Martin.

Safety, trust & environment

My personal yard is not fenced, but my dog has been trained to remain in our own area. She is very sweet and friendly and gets along with every dog and cat she has ever been around. So as long as yours is not overly aggressive or dominant she is it great companion and playmate.

Pets

A typical day

I walk and run in the foothill trail system, usually on leash, as I never trust other people's dogs to be well behaved. I always pick up and pack out my dogs "contributions" and I don't allow random treats. I run three times a week 2-5 Mike's and walk almost every day.
