Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Cat & Dog Sitter
I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets, including both dogs and cats. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I truly understand how important they are as family members. Over the years, I have cared for up to three cats at a time, including sibling cats, and I am very comfortable managing multi-pet households. Since living in the UK, I have continued caring for both cats and dogs, including pet sitting in owners’ homes as well as hosting pets in my own home. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medication, helping with recovery routines, and providing gentle, attentive care when they need a little extra support. I am calm, responsible, and very attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or needs medical care, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own!

Ratings and reviews
Molly really enjoyed her stay with Maria, Maria communicated well with us, letting us know what Molly had been up to, think she had been thoroughly spoilt 😀
Our dog had a great time with Rosario! She took excellent care of him, keeping us posted with frequent photos and anecdotes of his time with her. Our dog was happy and confident when we arrived to pick him up and clearly had been very well cared for while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Maria was a wonderful host to Ruby, so kind and accommodating. Thank you!
Maria del Rosario was excellent with my cats. She sent me videos of every visit so I could se the kitties and that everything was in order. She was super responsive and always kept me updated. Highly recommend Maria to take care of your kitties
Maria is really sweet and my dog loved staying with her. Maria sent lots of pictures and kept in touch regularly. Definitely recommend
Forest can be quite demanding, not just in terms of his need to play ball, but for much love and affection. Maria and her daughter were more than up to the task. They took care of Forest, even during the hottest week of the year this far. When I picked him up, he was happy to see me, but he looked happy and well cared for. Zero doubts on rebooking with Maria. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which allows me to be fully present and flexible in my availability throughout the day. Because I am at home most of the time, I can provide regular attention, feeding, playtime, and supervision without pets being left alone for long periods. This also allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am generally flexible during weekdays and weekends, and I am happy to accommodate both short-term and longer stays depending on availability. My lifestyle is calm and home-centered, which makes it ideal for caring for cats and dogs who need consistency, companionship, and a relaxed environment.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for all pets, whether in my home or in the owner’s home. I work from home, which means pets are never left alone for long periods and receive constant care and companionship throughout the day :) In my home, I live in a ground-floor flat with direct access to a large, secure internal garden. This gives pets a safe outdoor space to enjoy fresh air and gentle exploration under supervision. I also live very close to several parks, which is ideal for dogs who enjoy walks and outdoor time. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and safe, and I carefully follow their usual routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Whether caring for pets in my home or in theirs, I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring a calm, secure, and loving environment at all times.

A typical day
A typical day with me includes walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally active. We’ll play different games, explore new smells around the neighborhood, and enjoy the nearby park. I also make sure there’s time to relax, with lots of affection and a calm, safe environment.

- It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or allergies. Please share their behavior around other dogs or people, any training commands they know, and anything that might make them anxious or especially happy.
