Dogs make me happy 🐾
Pet care experience
I've taken care of my family's and friend's dogs for e few years. They also stayed over night or for several days. I'm reliable, caring and responsible.
Reviews
Martina was super relaxed even when I was late for drop-off and pickup! Thanks so much for being so flexible!
Martins was so lovely! Really appreciated the care for Martin. Will definitely return to Martina the next time we need a sitter. Thank you!!
I got to know Martina as a person who has a big heart for all kind of animals but especially dogs. She is a very responsible and caring person. I have experienced this first hand because Martina was walking my dogs, feeding and cuddling them. She knows very well how to approach dogs and how to interact with them. Taking care of dogs is not a burdensome task for her but a welcome activity - because Martina genuinely loves dogs! Every time she sees a dog on the street, it puts a smile on her face. Unfortunately she can hot have a dog of her own at the moment but it would be a great opportunity for her to channel her affection to the pups out there. I am convinced that she will be caring, patient and loving with your dog!
As Martina's co-teacher, I've witnessed her patience, kindness, and empathy for children and pets alike. Martina is a detail-oriented and caring caretaker that prioritizes safety and fun. I've watched her work with different students: taking her own time out of the day to play with those who need support in socialization, her patience and firmness with those who may be too rambunctious in the classroom, and how she goes above and beyond to celebrate each and every individual. She has transformed the classroom and school into an unbelievably inviting place, and you will always see students eager to run into the classroom to give her a big hug. She is always on top of it when it comes to communication and working with others. She will always reach out with updates (regular routine updates, advice, questions), is extremely flexible and adjusts to change quickly, and always radiates positive energy. She has met my partner's dog, Simba, and her love for everyone clearly shows! Knowing that someone like Martina is out there, ready to take in any furbaby as her own, has alleviated my anxiety and prompted me to search for my own pup. As I prepare to adopt my own dog, I know that my mind will be at ease when Martina is caring for him. I know she will send tons of updates, will provide routine for him, and will ensure to not only implement any special care I need for my dog (walking schedule, food sensitivities), but to ensure that my pup will receive tons of love. I absolutely cannot wait for Martina to be my pup's best friend, and can assure you that any loved one under Martina's care will be cherished, loved, and will not want to leave Martina!

Information Martina D. would like to know about your pet
Preference for cute dogs (just kidding: all dogs are cute!). Would be good to know if the dog is rather active / keen to go for a walk or prefers to relax at home.
A typical day
I will take them to Central Park to meet other dogs and look for squirrels. I will pet them and give them treats. Just enjoy their company!
