Marta

Hello! My name is Marta and I'd be honoured to take care of your pet while you're not around.I have extensive experience in the field, having taken care of a pretty wide range of animals, from little rodents to big cats in South Africa, working and volunteering as much as I could. This experience has sharpened my attention to details, flexibility over singolar individuals' needs, different methods of comunication and training among other things.I've always known that animal care is my calling; that's why I focused my studies on it. After studying Natural Sciences at Sapienza University I undertook various courses such as Animal Management, Animal Care and Animal Behaviour. This is important because not only I now have knowledge of animals' anatomy, which can make a difference when it comes to perform pet first-aid, but I also know the theory behind their behaviour, which helps me further to understand when the animal is relaxed or agitated, hurting or excited, etc.

I moved to London a year and a half ago, leaving my two dog brothers and my cat sister with my parents and human sibiling. Now I offer my services to you because I genuinely miss having pets around and I have a lot of love and professional attention to give to them.

I can't accomodate pets in my apartment, but I'm more than happy to pet sit during day, night or both in you place and to take your pet on walks.
