About 3 Sisters Pet Services
My name is Melissa Martin and I am the founder and operator of 3 Sisters Pet Services. In 2021, I launched my business in honor of my 3 daughters and out of my passion for animals. I stepped aside from being an environmental lawyer so I could spend my days caring for animals. I love the fact that as sisters my girls will always have each other. Family is so important in life, and you will never have anything as special. The bond my daughters have as sisters is amazing. Watching them grow is a joy. I am so excited to start this new journey and work hard towards my goals.

Senior Staff Member
My name is Margaret Smith and was born and raised in Crofton. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Frostburg State University in early childhood development. From there I spent the next 15 years teaching preschool in Crofton and 6 years in Hawaii. I met my husband when I moved back from Hawaii and to together, we have two amazing boys Calvin and Chris. When my oldest son was born, I decided to be a stay-at-home mother and took care of a few of my friends kids before having my second son.
Melissa and I have known each other for over 10 years now. Two years ago, she reached out to me asking if I was interested in working for 3 Sisters. I immediately loved the job and the flexibility it has given me to still be home with my kids when needed. I have always loved animals and grew up with a dog named Storm. I have also had a lot of experience taking care of my close friends and family’s pets in my home and theirs. Although we don’t have pets of our own, I’m always excited to meet new clients’ pets and continuing to take care of a lot of our regulars. My family also enjoy meeting and hanging out with all of the dogs that have stayed in our home for boarding. We always treat them like family along with the dogs I walk and cats that I take care of. This job has brought so much joy to me knowing that I can provide the best, loving care for each pet that I meet.

Foster is a Crofton-local pet care expert who has worked with 3 Sisters since October of 2023. A true animal lover, he makes sure all of the critters in his care receive the best care. At home they have two dogs, a cat, and a variety of invertebrates. As they were growing up they helped their family run a pony and carriage ride business and cared for the horses as well as other livestock. They continued to work with and ride horses into their teenage years and have kept reptiles, rodents, and birds. No animal is too big or too small!
When he isn’t caring for his own or others’ pets, he is spending time with his family and friends, playing video games, and making insect art for his business, Timeless Hyacinth. You can keep up to date with their pet and art shenanigans on Instagram, under @i_like_big_dogs for pet content and @timelesshyacinth for insect art.

My name is Robert and I am married to my wife Julia. We have one dog, Lily and she is a terrier mix. Julia was a childhood friend of 3 Sisters Pet Services Owner Melissa Martin and when she broke her leg, I reached out to provide some help since she needed more staff to cover due to her accident.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, sports, going to the museums in DC and walking. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have had a variety of dogs in my family over the years. I also do work as a bookkeeper and have done that for years.
