I'll care for your dog like family!
Pet care experience
Dear Pet Parents: Dogs have been in my life since I was a kid and I was caring for them since I was around 11 or 12 years old. After college I adopted a dog and we lived in NYC for 11 years together. I had a few friends with dogs in the city and I would take them out to the park for play dates. I am extremely cautious about ensuring the safety of any dog I am responsible for. I'm constantly on alert watching for cars, people or people with other dogs. For the last three years, I have been back in Miami serving as a key caregiver for my uncle's Dogo Argentino Luke. My uncle lost his leg in 2021 and is unable to walk his dog even with his prosthetic. We live close so I stop by and walk Luke around Biscayne Park for an hour about just about every day. Luke is a very big dog and I love watching him get excited to go out and start bouncing down the street. I am empathetic, caring and giving towards others and have been a full-time caregiver for several family members in the past. These qualities and experience translate to my pet care as I'm extremely attentive, proactively engaging, gentle and loving. Plus pets are just an endless source of amazement and companionship. I used to pet sit for two different friends in Connecticut over the years when I lived in New York. I have done some recent pet/house sitting jobs in Miami through networking with friends and family. I greatly enjoy it and now am focused on extending my services to more pet owners through Rover.
Reviews
Reliable, responsible, respectful. Took care of our dog with such care! Highly recommend Martin!
Martin is incredibly loved by my extremely energetic dog Koda. He has been my good friend for many years and when he comes over to my house Koda is always extra excited and affectionate towards him. They play with her toys, and hang out on the couch together and Martin truly enjoys taking her for long walks around our neighborhood. I only leave Koda in Martin's care when I go out of town and I never have to worry about her in my absence. I highly recommend Martin for anyone's pet-sitting needs.
Martin possesses a remarkable ability with animals, earning him the title of a true pet whisperer. His serene and affectionate demeanor creates an immediate sense of safety and love for the animals around him. Whether it’s our enthusiastic 130-pound Argentine Dogo or our cats eager to snuggle in his lap, Martin’s dedicated care and genuine love for animals are evident from the moment you meet him. Even unfamiliar cats seem drawn to his welcoming and secure presence, as if they instinctively sense his nature. His leisurely walks with our dog become adventurous escapes, leaving our Dogo content, tired, and at peace. When it comes to entrusting someone with the care of our home and pets, Martin is unquestionably our top choice.
Marty has cared for my little Luna on several occasions over the years. His love for animals instantly put me at ease knowing Luna is in good hands. If you are looking for someone to entrust with your pet, Marty is a wonderful choice.

Safety, trust & environment
I am extremely focused on keeping pets engaged throughout the day. Of course, I love to talk to pets and sit with them on the couch and give them a lot of pets on their belly and words of praise. I refresh water bowls a few times a day and monitor if I think they are staying hydrated. I keep their food bowls clean and keep their food fresh. Maintaining a dog's sense of safety and comfortability in their home is key and I do that by establishing early trust with them. I will get down on the floor and sit with the dog and get to know them. I'll let them jump on me and lick me over and over if that's what it takes to make friends! I will always be with your dog if I am pet sitting. We'll be enjoying long walks or hanging out in their environment at home or maybe in the sun on the patio. And I don't mind pets sleeping next to me f that helps them feel secure.

I work remotely managing digital content updates for a self-publisher and run an online apparel brand. I am not regulated to any set working hours and do almost all my work at night. Establishing my pet sitting business is my first priority now and I can definitely do that given I don't have a typical 9 to 5 job. I am literally available 24/7/365.
