Marty is very kind and accommodating, I felt very comfortable leaving our Jerry with her, she took great care of him. I would absolutely leave our fluffy boy with her again!

My dog was very happy when I picked her up, she seemed to have had a great time! Marty kept us constantly updated and sent us pictures. Thank you for getting great care of my pup ❤️

Marty is an amazing host! She has taken care of our dog several times now and goes above and beyond to care for Gypsy. I know I am always leaving our dog in good caring hands while we are out of town. Highly recommend using Marty next time you need a sitter!

Schedule

I am retired and can work with most anyone’s schedule. I live in a second-story condo, but am very active. Teddy Bear and I are walking White Rock Lake constantly and love having companions to enjoy the lake with. I am a trained artist and have painted the portraits of many of the dogs I have boarded. Please see my doggie portraits in the photos right here on Rover.

A typical day

Teddy Bear and I are constantly walking near White Rock Lake. We love having companions. Since Teddy Bear is a male, female companions are particularly easy...you know, none of the typical territorial stuff to deal with. But we love everybody and all are welcome in our home.
