Pet care experience

Greetings! I'm Marta, and let me tell you, animals are my absolute passion! From delightful dogs and curious cats to adorable rabbits, chirpy chickens, and charming guinea pigs, I've been caring for a diverse array of animals throughout my entire life. In fact, my unwavering love for animals inspired me to pursue a PhD in marine biology. Beyond the animals I've always had the joy of having at home, I've eagerly volunteered to assist my friends, family, and neighbors with pet care responsibilities. Whether it's feeding, walking, or providing companionship, I'm always the first to lend a helping hand. Speaking of my own furry family, back in Spain, I have the pleasure of sharing my life with two delightful dogs and a mischievous rabbit. They are my world, and oh boy, could they regale you with tales of the lavish pampering they receive! Rest assured, your beloved pet would receive the same level of adoration and care as if they were my very own. Their happiness and well-being are of paramount importance to me. If you have any inquiries or would like to delve deeper into getting to know me, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Marta is so good with our many furry friends! She is thorough and caring. Even our very anxious cat is comfortable with her visits. We appreciate her expertise in caring for rabbits as well!

Marta is great! She was very patient with our anxious dog and is working with us on a plan to get him super comfortable with her. She sent us pictures and updates. We felt confident that Cosmo was in great hands with her. Looking forward to many more visits!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a highly responsible and passionate pet lover, committed to treating your household and pets with the same level of care and attention as I would for my own. When it comes to ensuring your pet's safety, I take several precautions. Before taking your dog for a walk, I always conduct a thorough check of the fence gates to make sure they are securely closed. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a secure environment, so I ensure that all doors are locked before leaving the house, and I never forget to take the key with me. Prior to departing, I meticulously inspect every aspect of your home to ensure the utmost safety for your pet. This includes verifying that all doors are locked, eliminating any potential food hazards, and ensuring that garbage lids are securely closed. By doing so, I minimize any risks that may jeopardize your pet's well-being. Furthermore, I believe in being well-prepared for any unexpected situations. Before commencing my services, I take the time to familiarize myself with the location of your veterinarian's office and acquaint myself with the best route to get there promptly, in case of an emergency. Rest assured that when you entrust me with the care of your pets and home, I prioritize their safety above all else. Your pet's well-being is my utmost concern, and I am dedicated to providing a secure and nurturing environment throughout my time with them.

Information Marta F. would like to know about your pet

Before embarking on our journey together, it's crucial for me to have a clear understanding of your dog's needs and preferences. Here are some key details that would greatly assist me in providing tailored care: Breed and Size: Knowing your dog's breed and size helps me anticipate their exercise requirements, behavior traits, and any breed-specific considerations. Whether your furry friend is a small Chihuahua or a large Great Dane, I am prepared to accommodate their unique needs. Medical History: It is essential for me to be aware of any existing medical conditions or allergies your dog may have. Understanding their medical history empowers me to take appropriate precautions, administer necessary medications, and respond swiftly in case of emergencies. Please provide details regarding vaccinations, ongoing treatments, and any specific medical instructions. Behavioral Patterns: Every dog has its own personality, temperament, and behavioral patterns. Sharing insights about your dog's behavior, such as their sociability with other dogs, response to commands, and any known fears or triggers, enables me to create a safe and comfortable environment for them. This information helps me tailor activities and interactions to their unique needs, ensuring a positive experience. Dietary Preferences and Restrictions: Diet plays a vital role in a dog's overall health and happiness. Informing me about your dog's dietary preferences, feeding schedule, and any specific dietary restrictions or allergies allows me to provide appropriate meals and treats, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need and deserve. Exercise and Activity Level: Understanding your dog's exercise requirements and activity level helps me plan engaging activities and outings that align with their energy levels. Whether they are high-energy athletes or prefer leisurely strolls, I am committed to providing an appropriate balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Training and Commands: Insights into your dog's training history, obedience level, and familiarity with commands enable me to maintain consistency and reinforce positive behaviors. Knowing their training background allows me to provide effective guidance and ensure a seamless transition during our time together.

A typical day

When it comes to spending time with the dogs I watch, I believe in creating unforgettable experiences. Our days are filled with a delightful mix of activities, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. From morning walks in nearby parks or nature trails to engaging play sessions filled with exciting games of fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys, I tailor the activities to each dog's unique preferences and energy levels. If the weather permits, we might even enjoy water play or explore new places, such as dog-friendly parks or scenic hiking trails. It's all about providing a balance of exercise, socialization, and fun-filled adventures! Rest assured, your pet companion's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I pay close attention to their behavior, ensuring they are securely leashed during outings and carefully monitoring their comfort and hydration levels. With a keen eye for detail, I maintain a safe environment, remove potential hazards, and prioritize the overall welfare of every pet in my care. When you entrust me with your furry friend, they become a part of my family. Your beloved pet will receive the same level of love, attention, and care as if they were my very own. With me, they'll enjoy days filled with adventure, engaging activities, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. So, if you're seeking a reliable and passionate companion for your furry family member, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's create unforgettable moments together!
