Pet care experience

A paws-itive pet 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.

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.

Marta is our go-to pet sitter. She gives each of our pets the attention and care they need. Even our highly anxious cat comes out of hiding for Marta’s drop in visits. Marta takes great care in meeting each pet’s unique needs. It is clear how much she loves animals!

Marta was an excellent sitter for Cosmo. She was very attentive to the instructions we gave her regarding his care. She sent several photos and videos during the time she was with him, so that we could stay updated about how things were going. Overall it was a great experience for all involved. I am very grateful for her help and I can definitely recommend her as someone who could do a great job taking care of anyone's pet.

Marta is the best! We came home after 10+ days away expecting that our girl would be so excited to see us! She was, but Marta but set the bar so high that Bella now expects the same kind of attention and walks that she had with her! (We took her to dog parks weekly and walks every few days) I cleaned the house and ensured Marta’s guest room was clean and comfortable, but I swear she left our home even cleaner than when we left! Marta sent us pics daily of walks she took with Bella, as well as other updates. She was also quick to reply to any requests or inquiries. Now our Bella’s head swings around in anticipation when we mention Marta’s name. She has truly become so attached!

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.
