Availability

My life is intentionally structured around the rhythm of the pets in my care. I provide a full-presence model, meaning I do not double book my calendar. This allows me to be completely available to your pet’s established routine, whether that involves mid-day enrichment walks, strict medication schedules, or simply providing a calm, consistent human presence throughout the day and night.

Information Marta A. would like to know about your pet

To provide the most seamless experience, I require a detail understanding of your pet's ‘silent language,’ their specific triggers, dietary sensitivities, and any subtle signs of anxiety. Understanding their medical history and your home’s security preferences allows me to step into my a steward role with total confidence, ensuring there is no lapse in the quality of care they receive in your absence.

A typical day

A typical day is a curated blend of physical exercise and cognitive enrichment tailored to your pet’s age and energy. This includes sensory walks to engage their natural instincts, structured play sessions to build confidence and ‘decompression time’ for relaxation. For more active dogs, we engage in purposeful movement; for seniors, the ‘fun’ focuses on gentle companionship and therapeutic touch, ensuring they feel seen safe and love.

Marta, is a great dog sitter. She did an excellent job with our dog Red. He is an English Bulldog and is high maintenance because of his age. She was patient with him and made sure he took his medication, fed and comfortable while we were out of town. I highly recommend heard our house was very clean when we returned!

I am hesitant to write this review because I don't want to share Marta! She is absolutely amazing - kind, trustworthy and reliable. My dog is high maintenance (requires medication 4-5 times a day), and I knew I could trust Marta to give medications on-time (she set alarms!). When we did a meet and greet, I could immediately tell she loves animals. She showed up on-time, asked informed questions and played with my pup right away. She even used the voice I use with my dog, calling her sweet girl and love! She truly went above and beyond... She left my home in immaculate condition - did her sheets and emptied the trash before she left! And I could tell she played my pup's favorite show "Bluey" while I was away. Marta even had to deal with fleas. She is a total saint. She washed my pup several times, gave her flea medication and washed all of my pups' things. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have found her.. she treated and took care of my dog as well as I do. Thank you, Marta. Maddie misses you already!
