Safety, trust & environment

I am confident walking any size of dog. My dogs have always been part of the giant breeds but I have sitted dogs as small as a Chihuahua. I easily adjust to your dog's needs and make sure that walks are safe and fun.

Information Martina N. would like to know about your pet

To make sure I provide the best care and fun experience, it helps to know a few things about your furry friend before we meet. Please share any special needs, favorite games or toys, typical energy levels, any quirks or habits, their comfort with other dogs or people, feeding routines, and anything else that helps me understand their personality and keep them safe and happy. The more I know, the better our time together will be!

A typical day

When I’m watching your furry friend, fun and engagement are top priorities! I love taking dogs on plenty of walks where they can sniff to their heart’s content and explore new sights and smells. Playtime is a must—whether it’s a game of fetch, tug of war, or chasing their favorite ball, I’m all in for keeping tails wagging. For mental stimulation, I bring along puzzle toys that challenge their minds and keep them happily busy. I also enjoy incorporating some gentle training and tricks to strengthen our bond and keep their brains sharp. And of course, cuddles are always part of the plan—because every pup deserves some cozy, loving downtime! Every visit is packed with love, play, and plenty of adventures tailored to your pet’s unique personality.

Pet care experience

For the last 16 years, I have been a dog owner myself and sitted pets for family and friends for even longer. Pets are family members for me and I take care of them as such. Athena, my Newfoundland, and I love going on daily walks and have set out to discover most of the parks in Bloomington/ Normal and the surrounding area. Let me make your pet happy by taking them on a walk while you are at work/ not home.

This was the second time Martina took care of Lumi at our home. She continued to spoil Lumi with four visits a day, walks, massages, games, and even bedtime stories. She gave us updates and pictures during every visit, so we never had to wonder what Lumi was up to. When we returned home Lumi was calm, happy, and acted like we hadn't even been away. If you want your pet to be completely spoiled don't hesitate to book Martina. I know she will always be my first choice!

Martina walked my dogs daily while we were gone and sent me pictures of them. It was my first time away from my puppy so it was reassuring that she spent time with him everyday
