Pet care experience

Caring, responsible, reliable

Im an experienced sitter and having moved from London to Didcot recently, we sadly part ways with the dogs we used to look after on repeat (see photos!). We now have space for love and care to give to new dogs. WE ONLY TAKE 1 GUEST DOG AT A TIME because we ensure care and attention. We both work from home. As a dog parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to go on holiday and appointments and wonder if your dog is being cared for. When you leave your family member to me, you can relax that they are safe, happy, and loved. I give daily photo updates or more if you need it. Utmost attention is ensured. Joey would very much like a friend. Me and Christinne experience the joy of having a dog with our Shih Tzu poodle Joey. Our approach to caring for dogs is to treat them like FAMILY. Someone who has individual personalities and needs, and they will be cared for based on those.. We live in a house with a fenced garden in a private estate. We live near a local park. Joey started off as an anxious dog in his first 6 months but with love and training is now a well socialised and very happy dog.💖❤️ Everyone who knows me would know Dogs have become my “personality”😅😊 Christinne grew up with pets all her life. At one point they had 10 pets in total, combination of cats and dogs. In our parents’ home, we currently have 1 chowchow, 1 senior shih tzu, 2 pekingnese and 2 aspin dogs well loved by and cared of too by our parents and by us when we’re there. We would like to meet other dogs and help other owners with busy schedules, we ourselves use rover for sitters and walks sometimes, and happy to pay forward ❤️ thinking of getting a 2nd dog.. this can be a start! Joey (our dog) would also be very happy to meet a friend.. One thing I can guarantee is we will care for your dog as if its ours. 💖 I will likely walk dogs on local parks, on lead.

Kind, thoughtful very experienced dog carers welcomed our sweet but energetic collie into their home. They were generous with their time and gave us helpful updates and photos. We heartily recommend Maria. 😊💜

Nakatomi always has the best time with Maria, her Partner & their dog Joey. She loves spending time with them and doesn't even want to say goodbye to me when I drop her off :) Can't recommend enough!

Maria and her partner took amazing care of my pup Nakatomi. She updated me throughout the day, send plenty of photos and videos. She treated Tomi like her own doggo and were very flexible with pick up/drop off times. Nakatomi had the best time playing with Joey too! Thank you <3
