Highlights
Pet care experience
So excited to meet your best friend
Hey My name is Martha and I'm originally from Germany but came to Utrecht to study. I'm a Student at the University of Utrecht. Because I have a pretty chill schedule, I like to spend all the time the I have outside. Because I can not have my own pet right now, I'm looking for a companion to spend my time with outside. I grew up with cats in my life but always had a special love for dogs. Since I can remember I would always take the dogs in my neighbourhood out for walks and take care of them for a weekend. I've never had my own but I spend all the time I could with the dogs of friends around me, giving me the option to learn a lot about them and also learning how to train them. And because I don't have the option of having my own pet right now, I'm looking for options to spend at least some of my time with any animal possible. You can see my passion for animals also with horses, as I've been doing Horseriding since I was 4 and I just spend a couple of moths in Iceland, training young Icelandic horses as well as a young giant German schnauzer girl. I speak fluent English and German, and I understand Dutch completely but I'm still learning how to speed it fluently.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am pretty flexible when it comes to home visits, as I bike practically everywhere. Because my schedule allows it, I can also spend a lot of time with the animals in their home, play with them and feed them. I’m also comfortable giving medication if needed. I live in a big apartment with my partner with a little balcony. It’s pretty good for dogs and cats there as they have a lot of space to roam around and furthermore, I have a lot of options to go on walks outside. I have 2 big parks 15 min walk from my house which is perfect for nice long walks.
Ratings and reviews
We had such a great experience with Martha Before the sitting day, we met up so she could get to know our 14-week-old OEB puppy, and she was incredibly prepared and thoughtful. She asked all the right questions and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her. During the day she kept me updated with photos, taught my puppy a new trick, and clearly gave her so much attention and care. When I picked her up, my puppy was calm, happy, and completely relaxed — like she had the best day ever. You can really tell she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle puppies well. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Martha was lovely with our cat Nami! Great communication and sent videos during every visit. Knowing Nami was being looked after made our time away stress-free. Highly recommend! 🐱✨
Martha was great to our cat Toni 👍 helpful and very understanding, Will definitely keep her in mind next time we need a sitter. Thanks, Martha!
Great communication and takes really good care of my dog Flora! Would really recommend to anyone!
From the first time we met, I knew Martha is a dog friend. I was right - she has a big heart for dogs as well rich experience. Martha has been sitting and walking our dog Coco, and Coco absolutely loves her and enjoys spending time with her. Coco would jump up excitedly every time they met. As a dog parent, I feel my dog is in very good hands with Martha.
Martha has helped us out greatly by caring for our different pets. She has taken care of our cat often, feeding her, giving her attention and walking her outside on a leash. She also often gives attention to our gerbils and enjoys feeding the fish. She is great with animals and taking care of them.

Schedule
I have a very loose schedule regarding my uni which gives me a lot of time to spend outside or with your pet. Giving that I only have about 2 hours of class per day, I can work around those lessons and take the dogs out during the other hours of the day or of course visit them at home. Same with the cats or any other animal. Only when I don’t have class, I would offer a full day of care, as I do not want to leave the dogs home alone. And I’m completely free most of the weekends.
