Dog sitter/walker experience of variety of breeds
Pet care experience
Hello, I am now based in Bath having just moved from Frome, and before that the Midlands. In the Midlands, I held a number of part time and self employment roles as well as enjoying a number of dog sittings. I now have a full-time job as rugby coach and therefore will be taking on less dog sittings. However, I still want to help where possible and will be happy to do dog walking, drop-ins and dog sitting requests. My partner is a teacher and may also be available to help with requests if I'm unavailable or to help with extended bookings, this will be communicated well in advance. Here's a bit about me: I have always grown up around a range of dogs including terriers, border collies and labradors. I therefore know how to care for a variety of dog breeds. I work in rugby, so live a very active life which I include by going for dog walks. I have also cared for a guide dog in training four years ago, where I gave him rest bite from his puppy training. I know that every owner has their own guidelines, rules and sometimes routines for their dogs and will always follow these when looking after them, whilst providing a fun, enjoyable and safe environment for your furry beloveds! House sitting - come to your home and look after your pet, providing care and attention 24 hours and guaranteed walks/loo and food breaks Dog walking - either a pick up or drop off service and I will take dogs on walks dependent on their needs. I can then drop off back to you. Drop ins - visit your home to provide restbite, toilet breaks and play/exercise opportunities throughout the day

Maria C. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Excellent - helped out last minute and great service
Maria was lovely,she arrived on time in spite of bad weather and was confident and relaxed with our dogs and cat.She sent a photo of the dogs on a walk and they clearly thought she was great.Thanks Maria.
Thanks to Maria for looking after my 18yr old cat. We were away for 5.5 weeks and didn’t have to worry about her at all. I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a pet carer.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure the environment I create is familiar to the dog - understanding the importance of routine to help the dog settle with me is crucial. I want to make them feel as safe, comfortable and secure as possible and that is at the heart of my services.
Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet
Anything you think is relevant, we can discuss more when I meet you or over the phone/video call. Helpful information would be age, breed, general routine, how long their walks are, behavioural tendencies and any medical needs.
A typical day
I am reasonably new to the area and so love exploring new areas and will look forward to doing so on dog walks. Often that's the best way to explore and meet new people/dogs! I have experience with puppies and young dogs so can provide a range of mental stimulations as well as physical.

Availability
I am now in full time work but have a degree of flexibility. Weekends and evenings are best but with notice I can work around your wants and needs. I am Frome based, but easy access to Bath, Farleigh Hungerford and surrounding areas.
