Martha's Bio

I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy going for walks and caring for animals when their owners are unable to. I have one pup and one cat of my own and just love them so much. I, of course, have the daily care of my own dog and cat, but have also worked at a pet care facility, watched my neighbors' dogs and clients from Care. com. I would love to hear from you and begin a trusting, caring relationship... More

Melanie J M. says:
Martha is truly a gem and a sweetheart. She has taken care of my kitty Simba who is elderly and makes twice daily visits to check on him all the way out in Elizabeth to ensure all is well and he is eating. She is very considerate or our needs and scheduling and is a true professional. We feel at ease when we are out of town either for business or pleasure that we can count on Martha. I love how she gives me... More

Thank you, Melanie. And you are GREAT to work for!!! You put your full trust in me to take care of Simba and make sure all is well at your home. Thank you so much for choosing me as Simba's care provider. I look forward to future work with you:) Martha
Bill S. says:
We had Martha watch our little Enzo (dog) and were overjoyed with the experience. We have never used a professional care giver before (we just had family members watch him) and we didn't know what we were missing. Martha was WONDERFUL. Enzo is a bit high maintenance and she met his every need. She also sent us pictures every day of what he was doing! We certainly feel secure in using her again and HIGHLY... More

Wow, thank you so much for the nice review. We had so much fun with little Enzo and his big personality... we actually missed the little guy after he left. Thanks again and I will see you all very soon:) Martha
Carla V. says:
Martha took care of Lilly over a long weekend. We had been looking around for a while for someone to look after our dog, and when we met Martha we immediately thought she would be the right choice, and indeed she was. She took Lilly for a walk and kept us updated through our holiday. We will certainly contact her again. Thank you very much.

My puppy just spent 9 days with Martha and it was a wonderful experience. She is so caring and accommodating and we will not hesitate to call her next time that we need care for our dog!

Thank you so much Kristi. We so enjoyed having Phineas around. He is so well behaved and gave our dog Sammi great company. Thanks again for choosing me and call anytime!
Elizabeth P. says:
Martha took care of our 3 dogs and 1 cat over the memorial holiday. She was fantastic. We have two elderly, deaf dogs on medication and she was great with them. She took them for walks and gave them lots of attention. We will definitely use her again.

Hi Elizabeth:) Thank you so much for the great review. I truly fell in love with all the dogs. They are just the sweetest (all of them) and extremely well behaved! Call me any time for the care of your pets. Thanks again, Martha

Tami M. says:
Martha is extremely responsive. When I needed a pet sitter or someone to check on my house at the last minute, even over the holidays, Martha was right there! She has provided excellent friendly care for me several times now and I would recommend her without reservation. Martha leaves me with no worries when I need to be out of town even with short notice!

Martha watched our two dogs out of her house. They are quite a handful and she did a wonderful job! It was the first time our dogs came home happy! Thanks Martha!

Martha R. responds:
Hi Becky and Pete, Thank you so much for the nice compliment. We loved having Meesha (sp) and Lola. They settled right in after the first day and I look forward to caring for them in the future. You're a very nice couple with 2 very sweet pups!!! Thank you for choosing me:)
Susan B. says:
Martha handled four days and four nights with our menagerie very well. Our critters all took to her and were very comfortable having her as a guest sitter in our house. Martha wasn't afraid to contact us with questions while we were gone, and she's great with people, too!

Sharon R. says:
Martha is a great pet sitter. She loves animals and has been great with my 3.5 month Aussie! She is kind, loving, very knowledgeable when it comes to pet care and training and is very flexible. Martha is always there for me and my puppy, she walks him every day and helps with his training. I highly recommend her for all of your pet needs!!
