About Martha

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been pet sitting & house sitting since my late 18. I am very experienced with giving medication, including insulin and caring for elderly animals. I love taking dogs for long walks and playing with cats. Leaving my cats is very hard for me. I worry about them all the time, even with a good pet sitter, so I know what it's like. You can count on me to show them tons of love while you're away. One thing you should know about me is I am completely dependable and trustworthy. I can work with all sorts of animals from very high-strung dogs to very skittish cats I can pill a cat, clip nails, and give insulin shots. I'm excellent at training dogs, especially when pulling on the leash. with kindness, positive feedback, and treats, you can teach a dog almost anything.

Pretty sure my dog likes Martha more than me. Heidi (crazy boxer) goes nuts when Martha arrives. So blessed that we have her to care for our sweetie when we are not able to.
