Pet care experience

Energetic pet lover on HHI!

Without a doubt, dogs bring me so much happiness with their quirky personalities and love for attention. **If you have an under 35 lb non-shedding dog and either live on HHI or bring your dog to HHI, let me take care of them during your vacation and give you a piece of mind. I have included dogs of all sizes in our family for over 25 years. I have experience with puppies, high energy pups, as well as the needs of senior dogs too. I currently have both a young and older dog. I also have some experience training dogs through my havanese who has completed obedience training for control and safety. I’m familiar with training collars that help control dogs and keeps us safe. I have lots of energy for walks and potty visits. Every pet is unique and deserves the best care so let me know how I can help make your dog more comfortable while you’re away or staying on the island.

Martina and her husband were great hosts for our dog. They sent video and photo updates and were wonderfully communicative. We will definitely book with them again.

Martina was so devoted to our dogs! She gave them lots of affection including belly rubs. They were walked regularly. Photos and videos were sent to let us know how happy our dogs were. She was a fantastic caregiver for our two dogs. I was able to enjoy my time away from them, knowing that they were receiving lots of love and attention.

Martina is the best! We will always come back to her if we leave town! She is very careful and considerate with our pup! She updates frequently which allows us to see how our pup is doing without worry! 10/10 would recommend!

Martina did an AMAZING job looking after our dog, Wendy. She was incredibly informative, always keeping us updated with Wendy’s activities and well-being. We could tell Wendy felt right at home and incredibly comfortable, reassuring us that she was in the best hands possible with Martina. Her kindness and genuine care were evident in every interaction we had with her. She is truly a dog lover and made sure Wendy felt right at home! We knew Wendy was not only in safe hands, but also in the company of someone who truly cares. We’re so grateful for Martina and will definitely be rebooking with her again!

Martina provided such a warm and loving home for Ollie while we were away! She made my anxiety-prone pup feel right at home and I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We look forward to having Ollie stay with Martina again in the future.
