Information Marty C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs. I will follow instructions for feeding and medications, as well as continuous attention and potty breaks.

A typical day

I love to help stimulate an animal's curious nature with games and walks. Hide and seek is always a hit, and helps the pets warm to me quickly. I converse with pets on a regular basis, even though they rarely answer.

Marty was so good with our little guy! I would highly recommend her to others looking for a sitter. My 13-year old dog had never stayed overnight with anyone but family before and he is usually skittish in new places, so I was nervous to leave him. I’m so glad we found Marty for our weekend away. She calmed my nerves immediately during our visit with her knowledge and care for older pets. She made sure Tobey felt right at home and sent us pictures so we’d know he was happy and snuggled up on the couch. I would definitely board Tobey with Marty again.

Marty was great with my dog and took excellent care of him. She was flexible in attending to his needs and very responsive to any questions I had. Thanks so much from Trouble and I and I would definitely look to have you care for him again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
