Hi, I’m Mariella! 🐾

Welcome!

I’m 43 years old, originally from Brazil, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs for over 5 years. During that time, I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs through home boarding, daycare, pack walks and training, building a trusted 5-star reputation with owners across Northwest London.

What started as a job helping as a dog walker quickly became my passion and a successful business. Today, I’m a Certified Dog & Puppy Trainer, offering calm, positive training methods that help dogs and their owners build confidence together.

I believe dog care is about much more than simply loving dogs. It’s about understanding each dog’s personality, respecting their individual needs, and creating an environment where they feel safe, calm and happy.

Growing up, my family always had several dogs, so caring for them has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Every dog teaches us something—patience, trust, resilience and unconditional love.

I keep owners updated with photos and videos throughout the day, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands.
