Pet care experience

Let me make your pet's day better !

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.

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.

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

Martina is incredible :) My dog Yogi loves her and gets very excited when she comes to get him for a walk. She has a knack for understanding dogs. She works with him on training so that he listens to her directions to sit, wait, etc. She gives him plenty of time to investigate and explore on their walks. He is very happy and that makes me very happy. I can't say enough good things about her!

Martina took care of Lumi over the Christmas holiday. She completely spoiled her with the most loving care, four visits and walks a day, games, puzzles, and treats galore. She also did Lumi's favorite activity- daily brushing and a massage. She also spoiled us by giving us photos at each check-in, letting us know Lumi was happy, safe, and content. I could not have asked for a better holiday- I had absolutely no stress about our pet being left at home alone- she was in great hands all of the time. I highly recommend Martina if you want someone who will consider all of your pet's needs and wants and strive to make them happen!

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!
