She is an excellent house/dog sitter. She has watched our dogs on two separate occasions. She kept us posted on everything going on and was extremely reliable. It was very reassuring to know our dogs were in such good hands. It was obvious when we returned home that they were relaxed and well cared for. The house was immaculate. She is a sweet lady and very trustworthy. We will use her again next time we can get away. I meant to write this review sooner but it kept slipping my mind. I highly recommend her!

Martee did a wonderful job taking care of our Shih Tzu, Abby. Martee loves animals and took care of her like she was her own. Will definitely hire her again.

We found Martee through another Angie's List pet sitter. We could not have been happier with all that she did for us. First of all Martee lives in Bradenton, and was willing to come to Trinity to meet us and our pet family. We knew immediately that Martee was the person for us and the dogs. She is sweet and soft spoken and willing to do just about anything that you need done for your pets. We were gone for two weeks and felt so comfortable knowing all was OK at home. Our neighbors were very impressed with the fact that "she was always there, you could just count on it." We saw Martee three times before she actually came to sit and, she just came back today to see the boys again, as she is pet sitting at a neighbor's house.

I honestly think our maltese missed Martee once she was gone because he was over the moon happy to see her today.

Oh yes, besides the house was immaculate in addition to everything else.

So I highly recommend Martee to you and your pets. You will not be disappointed

Martee is a wonderful house sitter and dog person. Our dog was well taken care of and so was everything else!
Will definitely use Martee again if she is available!

This is the second time we have used Marty's services. See the previous review with service date of 3/20/14. Our dogs recognized her and again took to her immediately. She is prompt, courteous and has excellent communication skills. She contacted us with any questions during our vacation and when we returned our home was spotless, the bed linens and dog blankets were washed, bed was made, dishes done, house vacuumed, etc. We already have her scheduled again for a trip in October. I would highly recommend Marty to anyone who loves their pets and wants peace of mind when they're gone.

I got Marty's name and phone number from another pet sitter on Angies list that I called and couldn't accommodate the dates we had chosen for our trip. She recommended her highly and after meeting Marty and having her provide the care for our 3 dogs and house sit, I totally understand why she was so highly recommended. I called her approx. 6-8 weeks prior to our trip and she asked if it would be OK to visit us so that she could interview us and we could interview her. She lives approx. 2 hours away from our home. We chose a date and she arrived on time and our 3 dogs immediately took to her. She was here for about an hour to an hour and a half. During that time our dogs got to know her and she got to know them. The day we were leaving on our trip she arrived early so we could review our dogs daily routine that I had typed for her. By the time we left, all 3 dogs were sitting on her lap. During our 10 day trip she communicated daily regarding how our dogs were doing which was great peace of mind. When we returned home from our trip, the house was clean, she had washed the bed linens and remade the bed. What a wonderful feeling knowing that we can go on a trip and not have to worry about our dogs not being properly care for and loved. I would highly recommend Marty to anyone who loves their pets as we do.
