Pet care experience
Caring and active fur baby mom!
Hi! I’m Martyna and I’ve been pet sitting for years! I’ve always had animals in my life, to be frank I love them more than people. When I was 18 years old I became an au pair in DC area and took care of two children when the family adopted a puppy and it fell on me to potty train her and everything else. I loved her so much. And all the other dogs they had! In 2018 I came back to the same host family and once again they got a new puppy and it was my responsibility to take care of her (along with Clementine who remembered me from a few years back and wouldn’t leave my side). In 2020 I adopted my first baby - Mila Jane. She’s a pit boxer mix and over the years she became reactive but that doesn’t make me love her any less. I’m a very responsible dog mom with her and I know it’s my responsibility to make sure she’s never in a situation that could put her in danger of being taken away from me. Throughout the last few years I have fostered many dogs and cats, definitely over 20 and I loved every one of them. I adopted Morty, a coonhound, and 3 cats - Luna, Sophie and Emmie. I also did some pet sitting along the way and more babysitting where most families have at least a dog or two. My whole life adult life I have been taking care of children and animals as my side jobs, sometimes full time jobs. I have experience with kittens, puppies, and older animals, including reactive dogs like Mila, or skittish kitties like my Emmie. During my fostering years I’ve seen it all. Some puppies were incredibly sick and almost died but all of them have recovered and are now with loving families. Since I have my own babies I can’t stay at your house full time so my house sitting services (and rates) are only for daily visits- up to 3-4 visits a day ☺️☺️☺️

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure I close the doors behind me, I walk dogs on a leash. I know some people are okay with their dogs walking off leash but I feel like as a stranger to them I’d rather walk them on a leash (unless it’s a fully fenced backyard). With cats, I’d always make sure they have no chance of escaping through the front door. I’d always talk to the parents about their preferences and feelings.
Ratings and reviews
Martyna did a great job! She was punctual, communicative, and gave my pets lots of love while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and photos. We came home to happy pets, and it was clear they had been in great hands! Looking forward to having Martyna watch our pets again.
Martyna was so good with kimchi!! She made being away at work so much better not having to worry about my boy!!
Martyna D. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Martyna has been so communicative and has my pup looking so happy. Thanks so much!
My cats loved her! Martyna was great! She sent lots of pictures & videos, checked up on my cats every day and gave them lots of snuggles on top of food and water. Would definitely recommend! Reliable and quick to respond! Even my shy cat warmed up to her!
Martyna was great!! Very responsive professional and took great care of our little ones. 10/10 would recommend!

Schedule
Im a full time dog walker and pet sitter. I walk dogs (or take care of cats) all day almost every day. I just have an app and a daily calendar to organize my walks. I split my days in morning walks/visits, afternoon, and evening - and I walk my dogs in between.
