A truly professional sitter

Pet care experience

I ran my own pet sitting business in Pennsylvania for two years. I had over a hundred clients in this time, ranging from spoiled beagles to sporty spaniels to senior-but-active terriers to diabetic Scotties to three-legged labradoodle puppies to bonkers Boxers. I showed them all so much love and care, and I'd do the same for your dog. I grew up with a German Shepherd named Nina and a Jack Russell Terrier named Gladys. I loved long walks in our local cemetery or huge park with them. Growing up with these great girls really instilled in me a love for dogs. You'll probably catch me singing to your dog and also heaping tons of praise and compliments to them. I won't just walk your dog...I'll love your dog! My availability is fairly open and I am looking for longer term, recurring walks, but I am also available for on-demand or last minute bookings as well.

Martin is an excellent sitter! We got great communication from him and he treated our pets with love and kindness! He reached out when we forgot to give some details to quickly resolve the problem and make sure our pets were happy!

Information Martin J. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Mostly, I want to know what a dog's triggers are so that I can provide the most comfortable time with them that I possibly can.

A typical day

I love to find shady streets for us to walk in if we're in a neighborhood. I especially like finding a park or bike path for dogs to walk on as well. Anywhere that is away from vehicle traffic and has room to avoid people traffic if necessary. I also love finding somewhere for my dogs to have a good sniff, because for a dog sniffing is like doggy facebook and it's so much fun for them
