About Maria
🐾 Your pet’s new favourite human ❤️
🐶 A little about my approach
I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality, needs and routines. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, enrichment and building trust at each animal’s own pace. I have over 5 years of experience working specifically with dogs. I love incorporating stimulating activities, sniffing adventures, playtime and plenty of opportunities to explore, while always making sure there’s time for rest, reassurance and cuddles.
I also hold certificates in ABA, clicker training and Reiki for pets, which complement my passion for animal behaviour, learning and wellbeing.
🏡 A home away from home
My home is entirely pet-friendly, with a garden and parks and a cycle path nearby, making it a lovely setting for exploring, playing and enjoying the outdoors. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and understand that every stage of life comes with different needs, whether that means playful adventures, gentle walks or a slower, more relaxed pace.
For daycare and boarding, I only welcome pets from one family at a time. This means your dogs can stay together if they live in the same household, but I won’t mix dogs from different families. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe and settled, without the stress of sharing their space with unfamiliar dogs.
I have a pet first aid and cpr training and can administer oral medication and nose/eye/ear drops.
🐕 How I can help
Dog walking: Relaxed, enjoyable walks with time to sniff, explore and go at your dog’s pace. 1 hour.
Daycare: A caring, stimulating day with enrichment, play, rest and plenty of affection.
Boarding: A comfortable home-away-from-home experience with a garden, outdoor adventures and individual attention.
Home visits: Thoughtful care in your pet’s familiar surroundings, following their usual routines and providing companionship, feeding, playtime and attention.
❤️ Your pet’s happiness matters to me
I know that leaving a pet in someone else’s care requires trust. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member will be treated with kindness, patience and respect, just as I would want my own pets to be treated.
Whether your dog is full of energy, a little shy, getting older or simply loves a cosy cuddle, I’ll take the time to understand what makes them feel happy and secure.
