Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I dedicate Wednesday through Sunday to providing attentive, hands-on care for dogs in a calm and structured environment. I’ll be completing a short course on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allows me to focus fully on pet care the rest of the week. My schedule is organized around the dogs I care for — from walks and playtime to feeding, training, and quiet companionship.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my home, which is a safe, calm environment with a fully enclosed medium-sized garden—perfect for play and supervised outdoor time. Dogs have space to relax indoors and enjoy structured routines, including regular walks, feeding, play, and quiet time. I tailor care to each dog’s needs, whether it's a high-energy pup or a senior needing extra support. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, I like to know as much as possible about your dog before their stay. This includes their daily routine, temperament, and how they respond to new people or environments. I also ask about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as their training level and any specific commands they know. It’s helpful to know if they have any fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks, and of course—what they love! Whether it’s a favorite toy, a special treat, or a comforting routine, I aim to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.
A typical day
For playful pups, that means games like fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring the garden. For calmer or older dogs, I offer gentle walks, puzzle toys, and lots of relaxed companionship. I

Reviews
I can't recommend Maria enough. Cebru loved his stay. For an anxious boy who's nervous around other people, he seemed to love it. He was well looked after and I got updates throughout the day. He came back one happy boy.
We left our Yorkie Loki with Maria for 4 days, and he was very happy there. Maria took care of him exceptionally well, ensuring he slept, ate, and exercised enough. We were worried, as Loki has never stayed with a stranger away from us for any period of time, but despite this being a first for him, he has been happy and well taken care of. I am extremely grateful to Maria for this, and we will most definitely go to Maria again whenever we need a sitter for our baby.
Maria took very good care of Bella. She sent frequent updates with pictures and was very helpful with all the discussions. Will definitely recommend Maria for Dog Day care and boarding 😀.
Maria took care of Rupert for the second time and did a great job again. She was reliable and clearly cared for him well. It’s always reassuring knowing Rupert is in good hands. Thank you, Maria!
