About Martha
**Please note** Unfortunately we can’t take bookings anymore with dogs that have severe separation anxiety with you or dogs that only sleep in the bed with you. Thanks for your understanding xx

My experience with animals
I love animals and grew up working in our local RSPCA in Ireland as my mother used to run it. I looked after dogs of all sizes and different temperaments and ages, cats, horses, donkeys, pigs, and chickens. I've raised litters of puppies and kittens. Assisted with sick pets and helped rehabilitate rescue dogs that have come from tough circumstances. In my family home growing up - I rode and competed on our horses, we owned rabbits, cats and always had three dogs - one super large (+61kg A Great Dane x rhodesian ridgeback, a bullmastiff, and a rottweiler) , one medium (usually a Labrador or Doberman), and one mini i.e. jack Russells or chihuahuas. So as I said, very experienced in dogs of all sizes and I can handle various situations.

A bit about me and Our Pets
I have been living in Australia for 7 years and we got our own dog 2 years ago. His name is Baco and he is a small neutered English Staffy. Baco is very friendly and submissive (he has never even growled at another dog that has bit him). Don't judge him by his breed, he is a very kind and playful dog and gets along with all dogs.

What to Expect
I'm open to pet sitting, daycare or housing a pet here.
We have a large fenced backyard in which the dogs can have free reign of along with the house. We have plenty of space and dogs will sleep inside. Myself and my partner work from home so usually the only time I'm out during the week is when I'm walking the dog at our local beach. I am obviously open to adjusting to how your dogs sleeps.. i.e. in a crate / not in a crate etc.

Pet Sitting - Apr 20, 2024
Martha was the kindest, calmest and most amazing person when she arrived to take care of our fur baby right before I got in the car for our wedding! She walked in with treats, settled our fur baby straight away and even mingled with all our bridal party and offered to take photos for us before we left for the ceremony! We were so happy our baby was with someone we trusted straight away!

Martha was a brilliant host and I felt my dog was in safe hands. I was visiting the area for a wedding so booked in with Martha so I didn’t need to worry about my dog for the day. If I lived in the area I would definitely rebook! Thanks again Martha!
