Martha and her team are great. I have been using them to get a couple extra walks in per week while working from home. It's great for weekend trips as the lockbox on the door and the online portal make the process efficient and secure. Very pleased with this service and they are good folks over there.

Love using Martha and her team for regular dog walking and overnight visits. Puppy is sufficiently tired and pampered when I get home. No worries when I am away on travel. Grateful I have found Premiere Petsitting and Dog Walking.

We hired Martha and Premiere Petsitting to watch our cats while we were on a 26 day vacation. Before we left Martha came over and took notes on all the details about care and feeding of our cats and how to gain entry to our house. We received daily email updates from Premiere including photos. In addition, they watered our plants and collected the mail. We were extremely pleased and will hire them again next month. I highly recommend them.

We were nervous about leaving our two cats for 8 days. They are very attached to us and haven't been around other people very much. Martha, the professional and compassionate owner of Premiere Petsitting, assigned cat-lover Kerensa as our main sitter. As soon as she came for the meet and greet, our worries dissipated. She was friendly and warm - we knew our kitties would be in good hands. She, along with another lovely sitter, Lillian, sent us twice daily updates with photos.

It was such a relief not to worry how our kitties were doing - the reports we received put our minds at ease during our trip. Martha utilizes a mobile app for her business that makes it easy to check on your schedule, messages, and invoices. I would not hesitate to recommend Premiere Petsitting to anyone. We will definitely use Martha and her excellent team again in the future!
