I know how busy life can get, and having a reliable plan for your pup makes all the difference. My evenings after 6pm and weekends (all day Saturday + AM Sundays) are free. So please reach out if you have specific time frames you need prior to booking — I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs for walks, play, and attention!

About Martina Y.

Safety, trust & environment
For drop-in visits and dog walking, I will care for your home with the same dedication and attention I give to mine, creating a comfortable and safe environment for your dog. I ensure my dog feels spoiled and loved, while also keeping him away from off-limits areas when I'm away. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and follow my dog's cues, especially in new environments. Keeping calm is key to a dog's comfort, as they sense our emotions. I use treats to train my reactive pup and maintain his focus, and I have expertise in leash handling and managing potential triggers. Rest assured, your dog will be in excellent hands!
Information Martina Y. would like to know about your pet
Understanding a dog’s behavior, dietary restrictions, and the type of attention they enjoy — down to their favorite toys — helps me connect with them more quickly. Knowing these little quirks allows me to better observe and respond to their behavior across different environments, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
A typical day
When I take my dog out, we love to hike during suitable weather, and when time is tight, we explore local parks and trails for 30-60 minutes. I ensure my dog gets outside at least four times a day, even if it's just a walk around the block. For indoor enrichment, I create Snuffle Mats to keep dogs busy and stimulated.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Martina — a lifelong dog lover and proud Aussie mix mom! I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, including reactive pups, and specialize in caring for seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. You can count on me to provide safe, reliable, and loving walks so your dog feels happy and cared for every step of the way.
Reviews
This is my 2nd time using Martina, and once again she went above and beyond to take care of my dog.
Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.
Martina was patient with my old reactive pup! He's in a new apartment in a new town and Martina did everything to help him feel comfortable and gained his trust quite quickly and easily. Very satisfied and I look forward to working with Martina further in the future!!
Martina was on time, my dogs loved her and she did a great job! Would very much recommend her.
