Reliable dog-experienced guy
Pet care experience
Please note: I am primarily interested in sitting older and or medium-smaller dogs in my home. But there are exceptions I don't have a problem with bigger, more active dogs, but that would entail a house-sitting arrangement or a fee increase. I love dogs and I am a reliable dog-experienced guy who has had dogs for 30years and can completely handle and care for them. I have raised 6 dogs from puppies to seniors and cared for 3 other adult rescues. I've experienced lots of issues, never had a dog harmed in my care. I am doing Rover to keep my dog socialized and to fill a need in my neighborhood, I am retired and am usually home all day to attend to the pooches. I have a fenced yard and a park a short walk away for exercise.
Reviews
Miele always enjoys staying with Martin! Thank you so much for taking such loving good care of her!
Martin is super friendly, patient, flexible and totally cares about dogs. I trust him with Aki whenever we are out of town. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a sitter whom you can trust!
Miele had the most delightful stay with Martin and Else, and we could not have been more pleased! Martin provided daily updates and photos, and upon pick-up, Miele was sad to have to say good-bye to her new friends. We nevertheless look forward to having her in Martin's loving care in a few weeks, again!
Chilli stayed with Martin 1/17-1/22. Martin was very easy to work with and very flexible with schedule for drop off and pick up. His little dog is adorable. His home is very welcoming and it's nice that he has a yard and a park nearby. I have a hard time leaving Chilli with sitters as he has some separation anxiety and people need to be patient initially with him until he warms up to a new "person". He seemed to do fine with Martin and that is comforting. Will use Martin again!

Information Martin J. would like to know about your pet
No aggressive animals please. Please advise of any food protective issues. Please have your dog up to date on vaccines. No breed preferences, prefer older more sedate dogs because my own dog is 14, and a bit timid. I can handle lots of behavioral issues, but please let me know any and all up front.
A typical day
Generally we will do a park walk along with one or two of my dogs. And depending on the dog we can play catch, goof around, or just walk.
