Hi! I'm Marta, an experienced and responsible Dog Sitter and Pet Photographer! 🐾🤍 I share my passion for dogs with my partner Edward, who helps me take care of the lovely doggos who stay with us. Please read below to learn about my experience and professional approach ⬇️ In short: • Both Edward and I work from home, so your dog will never be alone! • We work for ourselves and do not work full-time jobs, which means we are on our own highly flexible schedules that can be completely customized to your dog’s needs. • We are both young, energetic, and athletic, always willing to engage in high-energy activities with your dog such as playing fetch at the dog park, running long-distances together, or playing appropriately while your dog has zoomies! • With experience raising several dogs and working as a vet assistant dealing with different dog breeds, ages, and health issues, we can guarantee your dog's safety in my care. • We ensure a minimum of 4 walks per day to make sure that your dog doesn't only have enough potty breaks, but also plenty of stimulation, exercise, and movement. • Located in a safe, clean, and easily accessible neighbourhood, our home offers a prime location near top-tier parks and fenced, off-leash dog parks, ensuring an outstanding adventure for your dog, and providing you with a convenient, hassle-free drop-off and pickup spot. • We take great care to keep our home clean, organized, and clutter-free, maintaining a safe, serene, and enjoyable space for your dog. And yes! – your dog is allowed on our furniture, couch, and bed! • We thoroughly clean and sanitize our home and furniture after each dog's visit to maintain a healthy environment to ensure your dog feels safe without other dogs' scents. • We have equipped our home with a comfortable dog bed, food and water bowls, and a variety of exciting toys to ensure your dog's comfort during their stay. • We do not have any kids or pets – your dog has our full attention and priority! • Since I’m a pet photographer, I include a professional portrait* of your dog as a complimentary gift from their stay! ❤︎ If you prefer your dog to be the only one at our place during their stay, please let us know! Otherwise, we do allow up to two dogs from different households. 🐾 Explore additional details about my background and approach below: When it comes to pet care, I have been fortunate to gather a variety of skills and experiences that may make me a suitable choice among sitters.
