I completed a PhD and made a transition into the film & entertainment industry. When I’m not pet-sitting for my clients I am working on set for indie film & television productions, and as a dancer and performer for music festivals, events, and live productions in LA and around the country. I am happy to accommodate for last minute scheduling or changes that may occur, with availability on weekends. Feel free to get in contact to share more details of your pet’s specific stay with me!

Information Marketta K. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let me know of any special accommodations or needs that your pet may have, such as specific schedules, medications, or social boundaries. I encourage open communication so I can provide the best, and safest, experience for your pet! Extensive care, such as for puppies or senior dogs may require an adjusted rate.

A typical day

Mental, emotional, and physical enrichment is not just for humans! It's for animals too. Varied walks and fun games are all part of a daily routine to look forward to. Dogs all have personalities of their own, so my priority is getting a lay of the land and understanding the needs that are unique for them.

Pet care experience

I've had a love for animals, of all kinds, since I can remember. Growing up with dogs of my own, they were some of my childhood best friends. I always jumped at the chance to be with dogs, cats, even horses! I have gained experience working with pups with anxiety. Because anxiety-related behavior patterns can interfere with both dog’s and people’s sense of safety, it’s important to me to work with owners to help them understand how to care for their dog’s needs during my time with them. It’s recently inspired me to pursue official certification as a dog trainer through the GoodPup certification program! I have enjoyed the opportunities I’ve received working around the Irvine/Laguna Beach area with the pets in my community and look forward to many more as I continue on this journey ☺️

Marketta has been wonderful! We have had her come over twice and we will definitely use her the next time we go out of town. Our dog Gracie loves her and was so happy to have her here while we were gone. when we got back she was a very happy and a well taken care of doggie.
