About Marta

Growing up I had different pets in my house. I had a dachshund named Camilla, she lived for 17 years and I truly considered her my sister. I had a duck, many hamsters and birds. My parents have a dachshund and I frankly go to visit them just to spend time with Rocco (the dog). Please don't tell them as I am sure they will be disappointed :)

In 2018, I met Gigia, my lovely cat. She is very territorial, so I am not allowed to have other animals in the house. I never thought to be a cat lover, but she totally won me over. She is 12 years old now, but she is very energetic. They say most cats sleep 20 hours a day, but mine only sleeps 4 hours a day. She spends the rest of the time exploring the neighbourhood and playing with me. 

I work from home, so I am flexible to come over in the morning (between 7 am and 8.30 am), during my lunch break and in the evening (between 5 pm and 8 pm). I own a car too, in case it is needed. 

I have also looked after my friend's pets when they go on holiday. I normally would send a video of the pet every day, so that the pawrents would feel reassured their pet is doing fine.

Being around pets makes me happy. My motto is 'a cuddle a day keeps the doctor away!'

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

This was second time I booked Marta to look after Bowie at our home while we were away for over two weeks. She did a fantastic job and kept us informed on a daily basis. It was great to see Bowie's pictures everyday which kept us completely worry free. He is a nervous dog but Marta did handle him extremely well. Thank you very much for your help.
