Maria

Hello my name is Maria, ever since I was little I have grown up with animals and love them so much. I have had, dogs & cats, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs, hamster, budgie, tortoise. My aunt had a farm also and had peacocks which I spent time helping also on her farm.

I have over 25 years experience in looking after and feeding animals and taking them for lovely walks. I enjoy very much taking my own dogs out and been in nature.

I have looked after puppies through to older dogs. I owned a 19 year old jack russell and during the later years she needed care and time on slow walks and help regularly with the toilet and eating.

I have looked after kittens from birth and also had 2 cats in the past as pets myself.

I have looked after family and friends pets while on holiday.

I am happy to come to your home and feed pets etc and take your dog out for a lovely walk. Or if you have an older dog and you would like them to have some company during the daytime and a shorter walk whatever helps I am happy to do so.

 I decided why not make it your dream job and this is what I want to do on a daily basis be around animals.

I am available:

 Monday to Friday all daily for walks and drop ins AM & PM to suit.

Available most Sundays aswell. Bank Holidays etc. I can do some Saturdays late afternoon but if you let me know I can arrange for you just ask me.

Dog walks will be for 30 min. ( 2 dogs max per walk ) £11 for 30min walk £5 for 2nd dog on the walk.

I can do an 1hour walk for £14 if you prefer also for larger dog whatever helps and preferred by your needs for your lovely pet.

As we are coming into the hotter summer months plenty of cool fresh water will be supplied before and after walks for dogs each with own bowl. I will have a cooler box in car. On very hot days I can do earlier morning walks and evenings when cooler etc for your pet.

Drop Ins £12 will be for a full 1 hour to feed, playtime and company to let your pet out to the loo etc or anything else you would like done for your pet during my visit. 

If you wish for a 2nd home visit in a day it will be a total of £19 for both visits.

If you want me to stay for more than an hour please let me know and I can stay as long as needed to be company for your pet and their needs.

I am happy to message you to let you know how your pet is doing in the day with a text or photos so you have piece of mind they are happy and having fun while on a drop in or walkies whatever helps really.

If your pet needs to take medication etc I am happy to administer this also to them.

If your pet had had recent surgery or been unwell and in recovery from the vet and you need to go out or go to work and worry about leaving them while out. I am happy to monitor them for you and administer medication from the vets and make sure they feel happy and content not been alone while you are out.

One of my own dogs ( Sizzles ) 2 years ago he had a spine disc removed and he needed to learn to walk again after spending time in Vet Hospital. Which I spent 6 months doing this process daily at home with aided walking support for his back legs and got him walking again because I refused to give up when I was told they did not think he would. I will attach some of his recovery photos in my gallery. Also in which he can now walk and run again. We all love are animals their part of the family.

Any questions please message me I will aim to respond in the hour to you.

Please let me know as much about routine, likes, dislikes for your pet so I can make their visits as relaxed and happy as possible.
