Pet care experience
Trusted In Home Dog Sitter!
With over 20 years of experience raising my own dogs and pet sitting a wide variety of breeds, my love for caring for your best friend is genuine. After successfully running my dog sitting business on Rover in Denver for the past 5 years, I am thrilled to bring my trusted, top-rated pet care services to the Albuquerque community! I deeply understand the needs of both furry companions and their owners, including dogs or cats who require specialized care. I have extensive experience with special needs pets, ensuring your pet's unique medical or behavioral routines are seamlessly maintained. Since I work from home full-time, I provide dedicated, round-the-clock care, frequent walks, and plenty of companionship right in the comfort of your own home. My philosophy is that dogs are an integral part of the family, and I strive to be a reliable, loving extension of yours. To ensure the absolute best fit for everyone, I always prefer to schedule a flexible meet-and-greet prior to your scheduled dates of service. I look forward to keeping your pup safe, happy, and stress-free in their own familiar environment!

Ratings and reviews
Marty was an absolute delight! He communicated extremely well, and left the house looking beautiful. Our little dachshund was a happy camper. We look forward to having Marty return!
What can I say about Marty? He was seriously a godsend. We had another cat sitter cancel on us 4 days before we were set to leave the country, and less than an hour after I reached out to Marty he replied that he was available. His communication was warm and professional from the jump. The next day we did a virtual meet and greet and Marty asked great questions. Two days later he was at our house and he was honestly game for any caretaking responsibilities. We have a senior cat who needs medication, two outdoor cats, and a sizeable garden. I felt bad that we were springing so much on Marty, but he didn't flinch at any of it! He took all of it on so gracefully. While we were away, he sent us daily updates and pictures of our 3 cats, and even sent us a video of him watering the garden to ensure he was doing it right. When we got home the house was just as we had left it. Our cats were clearly well taken care of and the garden was in good shape. It felt so secure having someone as trustworthy as Marty caring for our pets and home. We would ask him again 100 times over.
Marty was super communicative with lots of photos and updates of my dude, which is so important to anxious dog parents! He is super positive and accommodating - he even shoveled my sidewalk after a snowfall! And he was flexible when I had unexpected travel delays to make sure my dog wasn’t left alone! Really happy to have found Marty!
Martin took great care of my dog and cat, I got regular updates including adorable pictures. He left my place perfect and very flexible and great communication. Definitely recommend.
Martin took awesome care of our 2 year old lab! She loved being able to romp around and watch squirrels in his back yard. He was also super flexible with our schedule, very responsive, and provided great photo updates throughout the weekend!
Marty is a God-send. I hesitate to write this glowing review for fear that he will get really busy and won't be available when we need him. That being said -- Marty stepped in when we had only had our sweet pup for a week. He stayed for 4 days and was a great communicator while we were away -- he passed along everything he was observing with our new dog (the good, the bad and the ugly). Our pooch has some trust issues but he came around to Marty and they were best buds by the end of the trip. We knew both of our pets would be in great hands (our cat, too!) based on all of the previous reviews and Marty proved all of it to be true. We will be using him again in the future.
