Safety, trust & environment

I have one cat who is 18 years old and needs extra help with getting the proper nutrition. Another cat is on a special diet and scheduled food routine. I have to make sure each cat is taken care of in a special way depending on its needs. For my friends and neighnbors, the needs of their pets have varied so I've followed the protocol given by the owners.

Pets

I love animals as much as pizza

Pet care experience

I started cat sitting and dog sitting for my neighbors when I was in elementary school, and still do. I have four cats of my own and used to have a dog, so when I take care of other animals I make sure I treat them the way I expect my friends to take care of mine. It's important for me to make sure the animals are happy and healthy and don't feel alone. I've dealt with having to give medication to my own animals as well as other's. I don't mind spending extra time with them in order for them to feel a little less sad while their owners (or parents as I like to call them) are away.

Martina is always so great with our cat! We love when she's able to see pepper -- her thoughtful updates and photos make our day!

Martina was more than a petsitter, she became a person I could completely count on. I had a few unexpected changes while away. Martina was both flexible and understanding. My cat who is shy around new people went right up to her, when we first met. I knew then, she was going to be a good petsitter, but it wasn't until my trip, that I realized what a gem I had found in Martina. I appreciate her as a lovely human and a great professional. I highly recommend her services. I hired Martina to care for one cat, but I am certain she could manage multiple pets in a home.
