know that our "kids" are in such good hands. When anyone asks what we do about our pets when we travel, I give them your name, number & website. We really value your service & caring.
Jana B: Auntie Marta's Pet Sitting Service is so much more than just a service -- with Marta (and her wonderful team) you know that not only are your special friends being cared for, but they are always given some extra special love and attention when Marta comes to visit. Before I found Marta, I used to be so stressed and guilty every time I had go away for work or vacation, especially because my Roger was what you might call a dog with special needs -- he was a wonderful senior citizen who was very finicky!!! Knowing that Marta was going to be stopping in to check on Roger just gave me the best piece of mind! When I came home after an Auntie Marta weekend I would find a happy dog!!! I cannot thank Marta and her team enough for all the love and compassion they showed to me and Roger near the end of his life. Thank you so very much! Jana B
Diana F: Dakota and I just want to let you know how much we appreciate everything you do for us. If you didn't know it already, Dakota absolutely adores you. That puts you in a very exclusive club! I can't thank you enough for the peace of mine you give me when I am away from my baby. It means the world to me to know Dakota is in such good hands when I am not home!
Deb M: In May 2004 a beautiful Shetland Sheepdog, Leeza, was adopted into our home. She was six years old and we were her 4th home. She had always been in a kennel and by her reactions to handling had been abused at some point in her life. During the course of a year, with much patience, we gained Leeza's trust, got her to cuddle with us, spend time in the living room with the family, play, romp and eat out of our hand without cringing all the time. In May 2005 we scheduled a trip to Florida to visit family but were perplexed and worried with obtaining care for Leeza. We have no family members able to care for a dog and a kennel was out of the question due to Leeza's tempestuous background. We were anxious to find a pet-care situation which would make Leeza feel most comfortable. I was afraid she would regress into the extremely fearful, unhappy dog she was a year ago. We decided an in-home pet care sitter was our best option. Enter Auntie Marta. Professional, courteous, friendly; I knew right away she was pet-people. She is a fur-person's best friend. She is knowledgeable concerning animal behavior, illnesses, punctual, and reliable. Her initial visit covers everything the concerned doggie/kittie mom and dad need to know about the care and safety of their pet while away. She answered all my questions and put my mind and heart at ease. Her list of references was impressive; everyone I spoke to on the list was friendly, readily agreeable to commend Marta on her fantastic work with their pets. Everyone had the utmost respect and confidence in Marta. Upon our return from Florida we found a very happy, well-cared for Leeza. Auntie Marta is a favorite around here! She is part of our family and we feel very fortunate to have chosen her for our pet sitting needs. We will be calling on her again in the future.
Melissa & Andy L.: "Andy and I appreciate the excellent care you provide to Cooper and Murphy. Thank you for all you do and all the extra services you provide. Anytime you need a reference, please give our name. You have made raising a puppy easier-less stress and I truly believe Cooper has benefited from your "babysitting". It was so hard to go back to work when we got him, but your assistance and care was a huge help. In addition, our older puppy Murphy has also been happier with your visits. I have noticed that (for the MOST part) he is less destructive and just all around more happy. You should be proud of the business you have established-your approach and work ethic put you head and shoulders about the rest. We wish you continued success in the year ahead, All the best...."
Tracy R.: We were very skeptical about using a service but were in an emergency situation and needed over night service for our babies. A kennel was out of the question. We met Marta and our dogs seemed to immediately like her. When we came home our house seemed like we never left and we were surprised by all the little extras she had done. Marta is the best thing since retractable leashes. We have been using her service now for about a year and have been extremely happy. We have dachshunds (hot dogs) which can be very temperamental. They love her. Sometimes I think they like her better than us. I would recommend her 100% to anyone considering using her.

Dale K.: I am a relatively new dog owner and consider my dog to be a member of my family. Therefore, when I travel, I want the peace of mind of knowing that Leo will be safe and treated well. Hiring Auntie Marta's Pet Sitting Service was the best decision I could have made for Leo. Marta Hildebrand treats Leo like her very own pet and attends to all his needs in my absence. Whether I'm away for several hours or several days, I have complete confidence and trust that all will be taken care of by having Marta in my home. I give her the highest recommendation and know that Leo would say the same if he could speak.

S .: Marta is a wonderful petsitter. I am a pet behavior counselor
and I retained Marta to take care of my 3 cats while I was away on business.
She always was able to accommodate my schedule, even on extremely short
notice. I trusted her implicitly with my animals as I know she truly cares
about the animals in her care. She also did many extras for me, that I
appreciated, such as emptying my recycling, and turning on the radio for
my cats while I was away as well as feeding the birds outside. I also
referred Marta's services to a client of mine whose dog was having problems
with her petsitter. The dog truly liked Marta and was happy with the change.
I recommend Marta's services to anyone seeking a competent, caring sitter
for their animals.
Janet M .: From my initial contact with Auntie Marta I have been extremely satisfied with her super friendly and professional approach. I have always been more than satisfied upon my return to find my pets quite content and well cared for. I especially appreciate the follow up contact upon my anticipated return date to make sure that I have in fact returned as expected and if not, I know that my pet will be in good hands until I do. I have complete confidence in Auntie Marta and her services and would not hesitate to highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services. I am without a doubt a satisfied customer.

Dakin: We travel a lot. One thing that we never have to worry
about when we are away is the care of Chivers (a three year old marmalade
cat) and his sister, Yoggi (a tabby). When we return home, Chivs and Yogs
are well fed, brushed and the food and litter area are immaculately clean.
After using Auntie Marta's services several times now, I know that she
would do whatever she had to in our absence to ensure Chivs and Yogs wellbeing
and that she would go the extra yard. I believe she truly cares about
them and does not view it as just a job. Upon our return we always get
a note telling giving us an update of goings on with the cats while we
were away. I would not hesitate to recommend Auntie Marta's services and
in fact have already done so.
Dee & Karen: We were thrilled when we came upon Marta's Pet Sitting Service. We had difficulties communicating with our other sitter. They just did not return phone calls, which we were very upset about. Marta herself is wonderful, the care, the time and the energy she puts into her job is very reassuring. We have 7 animals, 5 cats and 2 dogs. Marta is outstanding with our boys (dogs) and they really like her a lot. The cats are always taken care of and when returning home there are really no feedings to be done and the litter boxes are clean as well as the house picked-up!!! She is the only person we trust with all our boys and 2 girls to come into the house. We just know that everything will be alright and everything will be in its place. We have utilized Marta's services for vacations. She stays and keeps everyone company and looks after the house. I would sing her praises all day long if I could. She is very special to us and our family, and I am not sure that we would be able to have the quality of life we have and still have our furry family without her. Thanks so much for all that you and your team does for all the furry friends out there and especially here.
