Hi, I’m Maria! 🐾 I’m a genuine animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds and personalities.

I’m also a Star Sitter on Rover, recognised for providing highly rated care and a reliable, responsive service.

I have experience with dog sitting, boarding, walking and drop in visits. From energetic puppies to older dogs who prefer a gentler pace, I adapt my care to each dog’s individual needs, temperament and routine. I always prioritise their safety, comfort and happiness.

Countryside walks and adventures 🌳

If your dog loves the great outdoors, we’ll get along brilliantly! I enjoy taking dogs on countryside adventures, exploring big open fields, woodland trails and forest paths. Walks can last up to an hour, depending on your dog’s age, fitness and individual needs.

I also enjoy incorporating mental stimulation into our walks through heelwork, practising commands and encouraging dogs to use their brains as well as their noses. These activities can help keep dogs engaged, build confidence and make walks more rewarding than simply covering distance.

Where appropriate, and only with the owner’s permission and when it is safe and suitable, I can incorporate off lead time in secure or appropriate areas, taking recall, training, surroundings and individual behaviour into consideration.

Boarding and sitting 🏡

I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, toilet breaks and bedtime habits. My aim is to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away.

Drop in visits 🐶

I can provide company, feeding, toilet breaks and attention during visits, following your instructions and your pet’s usual routine.

Individual care ❤️

I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments and behaviours. I’m also happy to administer medication when clear instructions are provided. Please let me know about any anxieties, triggers, behavioural considerations or special requirements before booking so I can provide appropriate care.

I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your beloved pet. I’m happy to discuss your requirements before booking and provide updates and photos during our agreed arrangements, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

My goal is simple: happy dogs, stimulating adventures and reassured owners. Whether your dog enjoys long countryside walks, practising their commands or simply having a little company and affection, I’ll always aim to make their time with me a positive experience.

I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member! 🐾❤️
