About Martin

FRANÇAIS (English description below)

Bonjour,

Je suis Martin et je vous remercie sincèrement de visiter mon profil.

Je suis un homme fiable, sensible, heureux, gentil et honnête de 42 ans habitant dans le quartier de la Petite Bourgogne proche de Griffintown. J’habite avec ma conjointe et elle aussi adore les animaux. J'adore vraiment tout les animaux, surout les chats et chiens, alors c’est pour cela que je suis végétalien depuis plus de 5 ans.

Puisque je travaille de la maison, je ne suis plus autant actif qu’avant. J’ai donc du temps et surtout beaucoup d’énergie à consacrer à vos animaux. J’ai la chance de bénéficier d'un horaire de travail très flexible me donnant ainsi beaucoup de flexibilité. 

Expérience:

Je suis gardien sur pawshake pour plus de 4 ans déjà et j'adore ça. 

Les animaux sont vite à l’aise en ma présence. Je suis très affectueux, sourriant, doux, et calme et j'aime pouvoir apporter une présence réconfortante.

J’offre plusieurs services:

• 1 à 2 visites à la maison matin/jour/soirée (habituellement de 30 - 60 minutes, mais dans certains cas exceptionnels je peux faire 60 minutes ou plus, surtout si vous donnez un pourboire)

• Promenades à chien

• Pension de chien(s) ou chat(s)

• Nuits passées à votre domicile

• Administration de médicaments par voie orale

 Visites à votre domicile:

Habituellement je fais des visites de 30 à 60 minutes. 

Dépendant des besoins de chaque animal, le temps prévu pour chaque visite est tout à fait flexible. Je ne suis pas pressée, car l’important pour moi est le bien-être de l’animal. 

Voici comment les visites se déroulent:

• Séance de câlins en m’assurant que votre animal est sont bien.

• Je sers à manger et à boire et donne médicment s’il y a lieu

• Je fais le tour question de m’assurer qu’il n’y a pas eu de dégâts ou que votre animal n’a pas été malade

• On joue et on dépense le surplus d’énergie 

• Je m’occupe de la litière

• Retour aux câlins et aux jeux, ou brossage et toilettage si nécessaire

• Une fois que tout est sous contrôle, je fais un dernier tour question de m’assurer que votre animal aura tout ce qu’il lui faut jusqu’à ma prochaine visite

• Je vous envoie des photos et un message avec des nouvelles sur ma visite   

Promenade de chien (au moins 30 minutes, à moins qu'un pourboire pour une période ou une course plus longue):

Je recherche des chiens qui ont besoin d'être promenés quotidiennement ou deux fois par jour dans la Petite-Bourgogne, Griffintown, Westmount, St-Henri et le sud-ouest de Montréal.

Pendant que votre chien est sous ma garde, nous ferons des promenades dans votre quartier, au parc à chiens ou partout où vous me demandez de marcher! Chaque promenade dure au moins 30 minutes. Je propose une marche le matin et/ou une marchel'après-midi/soirée.

J'aime courir et j'aimerais donc emmener votre chien faire de longues promenades ou courir le long du canal Lachine (jusqu'à 15 km si vous le souhaitez avoir une longue course - pourboire non inclus)

Je fais aussi des gardes de maison pendant la nuit si nécessaire. (House sitting)

Environnement (Dog Boarding):

J'habite dans le quartier de la petite Bourgogne et je suis entourée de parcs, incluants des parcs canon, et je suis tout près du canal de Lachine. Plusieurs vétérinaires, incluant une clinique d'urgence, se trouvent à proximité. Mon appartement

 Je me déplace avec le transport en commun, en bixi, en planche à roulettes et à pieds. Je suis très ecolo! :)

 N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions et on discutera plus en détails de vos besoins. :) 

 

ENGLISH

Hello, I am Marty and I sincerely thank you for visiting my profile.

I am a reliable, sensitive, happy, kind, and honest 42-year-old man living in the Little Burgundy neighborhood near Griffintown. I live with my partner and she loves animals as well. I really love all animals, especially cats and dogs, so that is why I have been vegan for over 5 years.

Since I work from home, I am not as active as before. I therefore have time and, above all, lots of energy to devote to your animals. I am fortunate to benefit from a very flexible work schedule giving me a lot of flexibility.

Experience:

I've been a sitter on Pawshake for more than 4 years already and I love it.

Animals are quickly at ease in my presence. I am very affectionate, smiling, gentle, and calm and I like being able to bring a comforting presence.

I offer several services:

- 1 to 2 home visits morning/day/evening (usually 30 - 60 minutes, but in some exceptional cases I can do 60 minutes or more, especially if you tip)

- Dog walks

- Boarding of dog(s) or cat(s)

- Nights spent at your home

- Oral medication administration

Visits to your home:

Usually, I do 30 to 60-minute tours.

Depending on the needs of each animal, the time scheduled for each visit is quite flexible. I am in no hurry because the important thing for me is the well-being of the animal.

Here is how the visits usually work:

• Cuddling session making sure your pet is okay

• Feeding and refreshing of water bowls and giving medicine if necessary

• I go around to make sure there have been any messes or that your pet has not been sick anywhere

• Play and we spend excess energy

• Cleaning of the litter box

• Back to hugs and games, or brushing and grooming if needed

• Once everything is under control, I do one last round to make sure your pet has everything it needs until my next visit

• I send you photos and a message with news about my visit

Walking the dog (at least 30 minutes, unless tipping for a longer period or run):

I am looking for dogs that need to be walked daily or twice a day in Little Burgundy, Griffintown, Westmount, St-Henri, and Southwest Montreal.

While your dog is in my care, we will take walks around your neighborhood, to the dog park, or wherever you ask me to walk! Each walk lasts at least 30 minutes. I suggest a morning walk and/or an afternoon/evening walk.

I love to run so would love to take your dog for long walks or runs along the Lachine Canal (up to 15km if you want a long run - tip not included)

I also do house sittings during the night if necessary. (house-sitting)

Dog Boarding

I am now working remotely from home. That means that I can offer dog boarding. Your dog will be with me all day. I will take them for 20-minute walks every 4 hours.

My home is a 2-bedroom condo of about 800 square feet. I do not have a backyard, but there are many parks, including dog parks, and I am very close to the Lachine Canal (less than 100 meters). Several veterinarians, including an emergency clinic, are nearby. My neighborhood is between Notre Dame and the Lachine canal near the Atwater market.

I live with my partner and we have been together for over 10 years. She works on weekdays away from home and comes back in the evening. I can have a maximum of 2 dogs from the same owner. I would prefer if you could provide a small portable dog bed for your dogs to nap on. 

I get around by public transit, bixi, skateboard, and on foot. I am very eco-friendly! :)

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and we will discuss your needs in more detail. :)
