About Marta K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I worked as a carer, looking not only after vulnerable people but also their houses when they needed help or weren't able to do so. I treat your place like I'd my own - I'm a landlord myself and I know how important it is to look after the smallest details and, in any case, to inform the owner about it. The only thing I require is a clean living space and stable WiFi connection. If I'm not at your location I'll also ask for covering my travel expenses. Pets are a priority. I know they have feelings so even when I'm down or my energy is lower, I can't say "no" when I see that eyes and tails needing some fun and affection! I also respect if the client is not a fan of snuggles and I'll respect his private space.

Information Marta K. would like to know about your pet
Please, let me know if your pet has its "things" (preferences, triggers etc). I need a list of the allergies, and medications needs, also these given just in case or at any time in the past. Also, please provide with the basic first aid kit and thermometer to check the cardinal body parameters. Although I don't have firs aid or CPR training I know how to provide basic help, what's more I'm in touch with my friend who's a vet.
A typical day
After learning what your pets like I can adjust my activities to their needs. I can go for a short run, play with your pupil and I'll notice if s/he needs some time off or calm time with sniffing mat or another cooling off physical or mental enrichment.

Pet care experience
Hi everyone! I'm Marta and I'm an absolute pet lover. I'll give all my love if they don't mind, so be aware that your no/furry friend might be spoiled after my visit! {-=^:^=-} Besides of the pet sitting, for six months every Monday, I volunteered at Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Brentwood, helping horses, dogs, chickens, birds, cats, reptiles, farm animals, and other exotic ones. In Thailand, I volunteered for over three weeks at Happy Dogs Safe House, where I lived with 15 dogs, caring for them and the house we resided in. I have experience looking after multiple dogs simultaneously . I've worked with various breeds and am affectionate towards animals, willing to spend hours petting them. Previously, I worked as a carer, navigating different houses while providing assistance to my clients. Now I actively look after houses and pets all around the UK. I'm a non-smoker and a non-drinker. Let me know if I can help 🙂 I've attached some pictures with the ones I was looking after Have a lovely day!
Reviews
Marta was the dream house sitter! She was communicative before the sit and very easy to arrange all the logistics with. She arrived the evening before I left and I felt confident in leaving her with my slightly needy cat for a week! I had constant communication and photos when I wanted to see him and when I came home, I could tell he missed her! You can tell she is a big animal lover and treated my cat like her own. The house was even cleaner than when I left and I am so grateful to have found a house sitter who I can trust and will use for every trip if I can!
Marta was an absolute star. She looked after our lurcher for a week and a half and we couldn't have asked for a better house/dog sitter. Marta sent us loads of pics and we're sure that chunk had a wonderful time being looked after by her. The house was wonderful and clean when we got back. All in - we couldn't have asked for anything more!
Marta looked after my 3 rescue dogs with such care & kindness especially as one of them can be tricky & who takes a while to trust people. Definitely reliable, professional and trustworthy to have stay in your home. She kept me updated with photos & news of their walks.
Marta quite simply is The Best… I’m torn to share how wonderful she is, but I know if you have anxiety at leaving your pets like I do you just NEED to know you can trust…. You CAN. Marta is wonderful. Our pets have to be the best advocate for how well they have been cared for and short of speaking our dog is actually missing Marta, he has slept on her bed and is generally looking for her…. That says everything, he either hates us or Marta did a fantastic job!!! She is a warm, kind, gentle and extremely calm soul, she obviously (in the short time we knew her before we left for our holiday )loves her animals and dotes on them … she quite simply puts their needs first and they love her for it, even the cat seems sad she’s left. Marta took care of our elderly JR and cat for a week. She made them both feel safe and loved and took great care of them, with pics and stories shared with us every day. Thank you Marta, you’re a treasure !
