Martin has been a reliable caregiver for my dog for quite some time now. Whenever I am out of town for a period of time for vacation purposes or if I know I won't be able to take my dog on a walk I know I can count on him to give her the love and attention she needs. My dog Sadie occasionally likes to get rambunctious and he handles this very well, allowing for playfulness under the correct circumstances but also very effectively calms her down and gets her to behave when need be. This is one of the main reasons I continue to rely on him to take care of my furry family member. Even when she needed drops in her ears because of an ear infection Martin was very punctual with getting her the drops at the correct times of day without much fuss. I wouldn't want Sadie in the care of any other dog sitter! Martin is definitely top tier at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a dog sitter.
