Pet care experience
Happy to chat about your needs if my dates and profile are of interest to you. 3 night+ preferred due to my WFH habits Back in February 2015, I took a career break to see and explore our wide world. In October of that year, I changed tracks a little to allow for more honest experiences in the communities I stayed in by starting to pet and house sit. Since then, I've cared for furry loved ones for the better part of 6 years in 12 countries. While most of these have been completed on a different platform, I have also cared for the furry families of both friends and family. I can gladly send you a link to my other profile, with reviews, at your request. I am a previous home owner, so I understand the importance of upkeep and general house maintenance. I am a non-smoker (of any kind). I'm quite used to the varied personalities of both cats and dogs.....obviously more personality (read: sassiness) with cats. In all honesty, I've had more than a few homeowners comment on how quick their furry family was taken with me and felt comfortable in my presence. I am confident administering medication and have been responsible for serving both raw and cooked food to pets in addition to (or in replacement of) the wet/dry kinds. I have no concerns with adhering to schedules for play, brushing/grooming, and treats. Particular breeds that I have cared for: Cat- Maine Coon, Siberian, Ragdoll, Tuxedo, Siamese, Pixie-Bob, Norwegian Forest Dog- Rottweilers, Toy Poodle, Standard Poodle, Dachshund, Shih Tzu, Weimaraner, Vizsla, Springer Spaniel, St. Bernard/Newfie mix, Lab mixes, Border Collie mix, Pugs, Tibetan Terrier, Chihuahu, Yorkshire Terrier, Jack Russell, Australian Shepard, Airedale Terrier, Pomeranian, Carolina, Husky
Reviews
Marta was excellent with my pups. Even the larger dog who was still in a cone during her watch, and she made sure he stayed safe from getting to himself. I also have my smaller dog who takes medication, and she had no issue administering this without forgetting. My house was clean, and she had even vacuumed while we were gone. The dogs were seen to every few hours and looked happy at every photo oppurtunity. She walked them and got their energy out, when we returned from our delayed flight, the dogs had gone out within the past couple of hours and the dogs were very calm. Normally they are riled up and excited, especially having not gone out for some hours - but it was a nice experience to get home to fully taken care of and happy dogs. She was very communicative and when she hit any snags, she communicated fully and quickly, and fixed the issue herself without needing any assistance. I would highly recommend Marta, not only for superb animal care, but also for house sitting. I trust her and enjoyed meeting her!
Marta is an excellent pet and house sitter! We highly recommend her. She’s very reliable and easy to communicate with. She stayed a week with our two kitties and sent incredible photos and notes daily. We returned and everything was super clean and our pets were so relaxed. Thank you Marta!!
We loved her so much she is now our go-to sitter!
Marta is the best! She takes great care of the dogs and the house while we are gone. It’s so comforting to know our dogs are in great hands while she’s watching them!

Safety, trust & environment
I only do in your home pet sitting and visits. As mentioned, I typically work from home, so I'm around and keep tabs on pets throughout the day. I've sat in 100+ homes over the last 6 years and have a 5* rating and I'm often invited back multiple times to care for pets and homes.
Information Marta A. would like to know about your pet
I would appreciate knowing any behavior to look for on a walk (ex: reaction to other dogs, people). Are they aggressive towards anything, well they pull the leash to chase something?
A typical day
I consider myself active and enjoy walks (or even jogging) with dogs. If available in your area, I will gladly go on nature trails with them. I am also used to walking multiple dogs at once, including those with aggressions conerns.

I can work from anywhere I have wifi. I work remote as a project manager for a management consulting firm. I often have trainings and meetings scheduled over video, but there are breaks throughout the day for shorter walks or play time.
