Doggy friendly home while you are away

I am an approved foster carer for a British Bulldog charity, and have helped to rehomed 4 dogs who have found their fur ever homes. I am working from home so I can be flexible with accommodating your dogs needs even at short notice or around your working hours for those heading back to the office. I can provide regular updates of our adventures at the park, and let you know how your dog is settling in to a new environment with any issues being address early on so you have peace of mind. I also have my own dog, Ronnie age 3, and Vinnie both basset hounds look forward to welcoming your pet to our home. Ronnie and Vinnie are Bassett Hounds and get on well with all dogs, both have been socialised since they were pups.. Each week, they go on a pack walk, and their walker often takes him with nervous dogs given he has a lovely temperament. See photos with some of the guests that Ronnie and Vinnie have helped to host... I have a large back garden, and live near a park with a wooded area so your dog can get their daily exercise while socialising.

Our dog stayed with Martina for a week while we were away on holiday. She was so responsive and took him in like one of her own. He got on well with her two dogs and we received regular updates on their adventures while we were away. We easily arranged a meet and greet in advance to make sure everything went smoothly. She also did an amazing job accommodating his eating schedule. We would highly recommend and would love to have her look after Pod again in the future. Thanks Martina

As always, old man Milo had a fab sleepover with Martina. Excellent care and medication given - such a relief when you can go away with no worries. 5* Martina 🐶❤️

Thank you so much to Martina for looking after Teddy for us! Especially over New Year! He was so well looked after, with updates of photos and videos. Martina is clearly very knowledgeable about dogs which was really reassuring. Thanks again Martina!

Pets

A typical day

I love exercising the dogs in my care, as a fun activity I walk them in Harvington woods which is a 5-minute walk from my home. While there they have access to a lovely stream where they can socialise with other dogs and run free (if permission is granted that they can go off the lead), basic training can be provided on recall if needed.

0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Martina can host up to 1 pet per night
Things I need to know about your dog. What do they like to eat (quantities, and timings of mealtime, any medication) How they get on with other dogs outside/inside Can they walk off the lead Training routine, so that I can mirror Any behavioural issues, e.g. are they frightened/nervous of other dogs, chewing etc Are they toilet trained
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
