About Martinella

My working experience has been mainly office based throughout my life. Since I gave up my full time job as an Analyst I have been travelling and contracting, preferring a more flexible lifestyle. I am adventurous and curious about the world, a lover of nature, conservation and peace. For me, life is better when animals are around :)

Why I want to house sit

I have been house and pet sitting for the past two years for Trusted Housesitter's and other similar companies such as Pawshake.
During this time I have cared for elderly animals, some that need medication as well as lots of time and patience, rescue dogs..(some with attitude), young and nervous dogs. Terriers, doodles, collies, large and small dogs, so if I can help solve a problem for people who need to be somewhere else but have pets then I would like to help.
I'm sorry to say I have an allergy to cats, but dogs, small pets, fish, birds etc no problem

My experience

Hello!
I have always been interested in the natural world and animals are comfortable around me because they know I adore them (although unfortunately I am allergic to cats). I have been trusted in other peoples homes, with their pets for years as well as with rental properties since I sold my own house.
I would be very happy in the company of your pets, (sometimes I prefer animals to people I think...). I have thoroughly enjoyed the freedom and variety of a more transient way of living, (maybe I was a gypsy in a previous life?!)...and I have made many new friends, furry and human enroute :)

    Marty is a great character and clearly loves animals. She took full advantage of staying here in Bath and got out and about with Tilly exploring the area and meeting up with friends. She left the house clean and tidy and was very flexible. She came a night early so we could do a proper handover which was helpful.

    Marty looked after our house along with Hector and Rosie for a week while we spent half term in Sardinia. The dogs were very well looked after and enjoyed lots of long walks. The house was left immaculately tidy for us with some lovely flowers awaiting us on our return. This is the 4th time Marty has sat for us and we’d have no hesitation in recommending her. We went away safe in the knowledge that the house and our lovely dogs were in great hands!

    Martinella is such a true professional along with being a lovely person. If you ever get the chance to have her look after your dog(s) or other animals you will truly be lucky! Inky is getting older now and needs careful loving treatment which she did so easily. Very happy woofer and owner:)))
