Pet care experience

Paws, play and plenty of love.

Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family.

Mar and her family were so kind and welcoming! They took great care of Ringo and he clearly had fun staying at their house and playing with their dog. Would absolutely book again.

Maria was fantastic! She took great care of our dog and followed our instructions perfectly. She sent lots of photos of all the activities she did with our pup which made being away a lot easier. Would defiantly use her again!

Maria was great, very communicative and sent lots of pictures of my pups stay. Olive seemed very well cared for and happy when I picked her up, always a great sign!

Great experience! Mar took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages frequently. My dog had a great time playing with her dog (Togo, goofy and nice doggy) and came home happy. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommended. .

Mar was the kindest ever. Her passion for dogs is palpable. I felt that my dog was in great hands and I could relax. She was really considerate and kept me updated. She was reliable in terms of our requests and special treatments for our dog. I highly recommend her!!
