About Anna Maria

Hello! My name is Anna Maria and I am living in Fontwell with my husband Charles and our 2 rescue dogs Scarlet (11) & Alfie (6). I grew up around animals (dogs, cats, horses) and have been involved in rescuing, fostering, and rehabilitating animals for 25 years. In this time I have hosted all ages, sizes and type of pets and I loved them all. I strongly believe that there are no bad animals or animals that are a 'lost cause'. There is no issue or behaviour that some love and attention cannot fix. 

We have fostered hundreds of dogs over the years and my doggies are used to making our foster animals feel welcome. We have plenty of experience dealing with all sorts of animal behaviour, have basic training in first aid and CPR and live within less than 5 min from a vet clinic and an emergency hospital. Any pet will feel welcome and relaxed in our house and we get the absolute pleasure of meeting some amazing animals.

We live in a house with a garden and there are plenty of walking areas close by where the doggies can be off-leash. We walk our own dogs 3 times per day and we love having other doggies joining us but we can also arrange separate times for walks if your pet prefers their time alone.

Let's plan a meet and greet!

I cannot recommend highly enough. Anna Maria took such good care of my 9 month old Golden Retriever Oscar. Regular updates with pictures and videos, good communication and will discuss with you at depth your dogs behaviour, eg. Oscar marked a little bit on the first day which made me worried, Anna Maria talked me through why she thought he was doing it, sent pics and vids of a very happy Oscar and then let me know it had stopped the following day. Her 2 dogs are very nice, knowing Oscar would have a good time with them and having peace of mind due to them being friendly and not particularly big or hard mouthed dogs was good. He slept like a log when I brought him home and was back to his normal self the following day.

Anna Maria and Charles come across as warm, welcoming and kind and most importantly display a great interest in dogs. They both work from home and have made time and space in their lives to help rehabilitate two rescue dogs. Their care for these dogs is evident as is the enjoyment they get from them. My dog Bonzo slotted into this life well, Anna Maria sent videos of him on walks, playing with her and her dogs and even sleeping in one of her dog’s beds. Communication with Anna Maria was excellent, prompt replies with clarity and openness. I will be returning.
