"Martin's Pet Care: Love for Every Paw!"
Pet care experience
Over the past 15 years, I've been deeply immersed in the world of animal care, blending my passion with practical experience. It all started with raising rabbits to the highest standards, ensuring they had the best of everything. From there, I ventured into raising chickens and ducks on my smallholding, even overseeing the excitement of egg hatching. My journey took me to various roles, including working closely with farm animals at a local farm park and providing top-notch service in pet shops. Alongside these experiences, I dedicated two years to formal education, earning a Level 2 qualification in animal care. As a pet parent myself to two beloved indoor cats, Chanel and Ava, and a lively cocker spaniel puppy named Mollie, I intimately understand the joys and responsibilities that come with pet ownership. This firsthand experience drives my commitment to offering personalized, compassionate care to every furry friend in my care.
Reviews
Martin was brilliant and exactly who we wanted to look after our cats while on a short trip. We had no worries at any point and loved the picture updates after each visit. Everything was perfect and the cats were happy on our return.
Amazing service! Thanks a lot Martin
While I was on vacation, Martin provided excellent care for my cat. He went above and beyond by sending me daily photo updates, ensuring my peace of mind while I was away. Thanks to Martin’s attentive care, my cat remained happy throughout my absence.
Martin looked after our cat whilst we went on holiday to Spain. He was super reassuring and gave us update on how our cat was doing. Rest assured we feel really confident and comfortable hiring him again. Our cat can be temperamental and even he seemed to like Martin 😂
