Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover working from home
I'm experienced in walking, playing, training, cleaning, and taking care of every kind of dog (all ages and sizes). I have a lot of experience with puppies, senior, needy, and nervous dogs too. I volunteered for dogs in my hometown dog pound since I was 14. I live with my husband, and we don't have children or pets. In case your dog doesn't like to be around children or other pets - they would feel very comfortable and safe at ours. I'm also available for boarding any time of the week if your pup is most comfortable at home.

Ratings and reviews
This was our first time leaving Bruno with a stranger and were a bit nervous but he absolutely loved it! Maria and her husband took great care of our boy and sent lots of updates throughout the day. We will for sure be booking her again :)
Maria took good care of my dog Zé. While I was travelling she took care of him and never forgot to send me updates and pictures telling me what they were doing during those days. Definitely I will book again in the future. Thanks again, Maria!
Maria and Sam were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Daphne! They looked after her for a few nights, and I felt so at ease the whole time knowing she was in such caring hands. They gave her so much love and attention, and the regular updates and photos meant the world to me, I could see just how happy and relaxed she was. It truly made me feel so happy and reassured while I was away. I couldn’t ask for better sitters. Thank you, Maria and Sam, for taking such amazing care of Daphne! Highly recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of using Maria as a dog sitter for my furry boy, Neo, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She took care of him overnight and did a wonderful job, especially considering I arranged it on such short notice. Maria was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated throughout the evening with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Neo was enjoying his time with her. She made sure he was well walked and had everything he needed, from meals to playtime. Her attentiveness and genuine love for dogs were evident, and I am truly grateful for the exceptional care she provided. It's always a relief to find someone who treats your pet like their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Maria, for making Neo's overnight stay so enjoyable!
Maria and her partner took great care of our labrador whilst we were away for a week. She also house sat for one day at our place. She followed our instructions and sent us updates and pictures of how Exxon was doing. Exxon seemed happy and comfortable and got lots of walks! We highly recommend Maria and her partner and we will definitely be reaching out to them in the future!
Maria very kindly took our pup Arthur for a wonderful walk at very short notice. She is very friendly and quick at responding. We will definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

Schedule
I currently work from home full-time. My work schedule is flexible and can be easily tailored to fit your dog's needs. Lots of walks and playtime as I can take as many breaks during my workday as needed.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house, so noisy dogs are not a problem for us at all. We have a fenced garden and there's a vast recreational ground right near my house where I can take a dog for a potty break during the day. Daily longer walks in the nearby parks - Morden or Beddington.
A typical day
There are lots for a dog to explore around my house - two recreational grounds, Morden Park, Nonsuch Park, and Beddington Park. On a weekend, I can take dogs to Richmond Park. I love keeping dogs entertained, so we can play active games outdoors and sniffing games indoors for a good intellectual workout for your pup.
