Pet care experience

Wicker Park Dog/Cat Sitter

With over 10 years of experience in caring for dogs and cats, I am now extending my services to provide a loving and safe environment for pets while their owners are away on vacation or business trips. My goal is to offer pets a home away from home, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I also make sure to include special treats to keep them happy and content during their stay.

Martina was perfect for Cookie! Martina sent frequent updates and photos of Cookie my entire trip. When I initially met Martina she was very warm and inviting and made me feel extremely comfortable leaving Cookie with her while I went away. Martina will be my go to sitter. Thank you!!!

Martina took great care of Hanley. We got so many pictures that the rest of our friends were jealous because their sitters weren’t sending nearly enough pictures! Hanley was happy and smiley in every pic so I know he had a great time. We appreciate that she took such good care of him. I’d never been away from him for as long as this trip and I didn’t worry once if he was doing okay. We would definitely rebook.

I truly can’t say enough about how wonderfully Martina cared for our dog, Lola. Lola is an anxious girl with her own quirks, so I’m always nervous about how she’ll adjust to someone new, but Martina was exceptional. She sent frequent photos and updates throughout Lola’s stay, which helped us feel at ease. Unfortunately, Lola had an accident on Martina’s rug, and while I was mortified as a pet parent, Martina handled it with such kindness and understanding. She was more concerned about Lola’s upset stomach than the mess, and her compassion meant so much. Most importantly, Lola looked genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable the entire time, and she came home healthy and content. We couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend Martina to watch your fur baby.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment I live by myself. Plenty of space. I work from home and can provide walks and playtime multiple times per week. I'm located in Wicker Park/ West Town.

A typical day

Starting day with morning walk around 6am, serving fresh water and breakfast. Little play time. Then providing another walk around lunch 30min and of course some treats after coming back from the walk another play time and then final long walk at least hour or two around 5pm while I finish working. The best dinner is served right after also some cuddling time if pets allow.

It is important to know the dog/cat's certain habits to make them feel like at their own home. Always make sure they are feeling comfortable and happy. I always watch only one pet at once to provide comfortable environment.
