Your pets will be happy with me!

Pet care experience

I have spent big part of my childhood in a farm village taking care of many different animals. We've always had cats and dogs in our home and I love interacting with them! Now farm days are gone but my love for animals has always been a part of me. I am longing for more time and interactions with them. More time spent with animals equals more happy moments for them and for me too! I would love to pass this worldview to my kids by introducing them to different pets and feel like Rover would be a good way to do so. My experience is not limited to cats and dogs, I can help with all pets! I have individual approach to each pet depending on size, health, age and exercising they need or any specific requirements. I also provide drop-in visits for playing, feeding, walks, etc. I will strictly follow your instructions and respect your preferences. I will send you photos, videos and updates at all times to assure you that your loved one is having a great time. Any specific requests or questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out. :) I am an energetic person with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Martin is hands down one of the best dog walkers you will ever find! We’ve had the pleasure of working with him for over a year and he is prompt, trustworthy, and so sweet with our huge yellow lab. We are very particular with who cares for our pup and so grateful we found Martin!

Martin has been with us several months and is always on time and takes our lab on nice long walks. Martin is very kind and gentle and our dog loves him! I would highly recommend him!

Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost I make sure all pets are healthy and happy. They will get appropriate exercise, frequent walks and potty breaks. Playing and training, treats and smiles. I will keep them company and soothe them with some snuggles.

Information Martin S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet gets along with other pets, strangers and kids. Are there any signals or triggers that might affect your pet's mood and behavior?

A typical day

I like to play and cuddle or just keep them company if they are not in the mood. Most times we spend the time interacting with each other but there are also times when pets just need someone to share the room or the walk with them and speak to them. Sometimes it's both.

My schedule is build around my appointments and is very flexible. I am an early bird and morning walks or visits are more than welcome. House sitting appointments would require some time in advance for booking.
