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 twenty two months 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 :)

My goodness what can i say this time! Marty is the best house n dog sitter we've ever had! She so adores Ziggy and he absolutely loves her, so i was so pleased she was available and could come and look after him again, as this was the longest i'd have to leave him since i got him. She kept in touch every day, got him to go in the water and fetch the ball on his favourite river walk, which i'd been trying to get him to do for ages and something he'd only ever done a couple of times before after watching his sister! He wants to go in all the time now! She even taught him some new commands to calm him down when he gets too boisterous, which is a real help! She also completely tidied up the front garden, pruning and cutting back the rose bush and overgrown bushes and palm tree and grew some lettuce in the kitchen and herbs for me in a pot in the back garden! The house was spotless with everything washed and Zig all brushed and clean and super happy and in great shape! I really can't thank you enough Marty, as i've said you're pretty much his mum now and you'll always be wecome here. Hope to see you again soon and hugs n cudsies from us both in the meantime! :)
