Martina did a great job watching our dog during a 2 week trip! She sent us pictures and updates while we were away, and responsibly handled a mild medical situation that required her to take our dog to the vet. We also liked that she had a nice yard for him to play in. We would use Martina again for future dog sitting!

Martina watched my curious, very high-energy cat Bob for a week while I was out of town. She took great care of him and he seemed like he had a great time. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was in good hands and getting all the attention he needs. I would definitely hire her again.

Martina has cared for my dog, Rocco, for years, and I trust her completely. Whether I’m away for a quick weekend or a 10-day vacation, I always know he’s in excellent hands. Now that Rocco is 14, Martina has been especially attentive to his medications, exercise, and dietary needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet caregiver.

Martina recently cared for my two cats, Charlie and Rosalind while we were out of town. I’m always a bit nervous when I am not with my cats so I asked Martina if she could come by twice a day to care for them. Martina made me feel relaxed by making sure to get detailed instructions on their routines and likes/dislikes. She also checked in with me with daily updates along with cute photos of them. I will definitely have Martina watch our cats again and would recommend to anyone who needs a reliable, caring person to watch their fur babies.

My large fenced in yard has been a hit with our canine guests. Plus, I am currently working from home, so your pet will be able to go out during the day, as well as mornings and evenings. During their stay, they will never have to feel lonely or anxious.
