Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable Dog Carer
I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbours, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also had two rescue dogs—a German Shepherd and a Poodle—as well as a rescued cat, so I understand how to care for animals with different personalities and needs. I’m absolutely obsessed with animals, and although I didn’t have one of my own for a long time, I’ve always loved having the chance to shower others’ pets with affection, cuddles, and care as if they were mine. We’ve adopted a 6-month-old English Cocker Spaniel, and he’s been a wonderful addition to our home. He’s great with other dogs and, even though he’s still in his puppy stage, he’s very gentle and chilled. This makes our home a calm, friendly, and welcoming environment for all kinds of dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Mochi had a great time yesterday, thanks for taking care of her so well and for the updates! Highly recommended.
Maria and her partner took great care of Meatball! Even in the heatwave they were so careful and attentive with meatball. Great communication and overall Meatball seemed very happy there.
Peach was so happy with Maria, whose correspondence was great; she kept us up to date with photos, and was very accommodating of Peach’s specific needs. It was evident how happy Peach was while staying with her. We would love Maria to look after Peach in the future and highly recommend her!
Wonderful people. My dog could not be in safer or happier hands.
Maria Carolina and her partner are the sweetest people ever. They were so very caring, kind and loving towards my pup. Their attention to detail sets them apart. My dog felt right at home with them at day care! She had a blast: plenty of cuddles & walks throughout the day ❤️ Canela didn't want to leave them! Highly recommend 👏🏼
Ernie returned pretty happy from a short stay with Maria

Schedule
I currently work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. My partner works from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which means there is plenty of time, attention, and company for your dog throughout the week. I’m also available for boarding on weekends.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a cozy home with a small, secure garden and live just a short walk from the park—perfect for daily adventures! My partner and I both work from home three days a week and absolutely love dogs, so your pet will get lots of cuddles, walks, and supervised care. We’re happy to crate if needed and always make your pet’s comfort and safety our priority.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with a nice walk in the nearby park, followed by some playtime in our small garden—fetch, tug-of-war, or just sniffing around and sunbathing. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and my partner does too, so your pet will have constant company and attention. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to cuddle, play, or go on short walks to keep your pet active and happy. I love incorporating enrichment activities like puzzle toys, training games, and lots of love! Walks, belly rubs, treats (if allowed), and calm downtime are all part of the day.

- It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, any medical needs, behaviour around other animals or people, and any specific triggers or fears (like loud noises or being left alone). I’d also love to know their likes and dislikes—favourite toys, walking habits, and how they like to relax. The more details you share, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
