Reliable Pet sitter in Slough area

Hi,
My name is Marian, 35 years old and I own my place.
Currently, I have a dog called Mikasa. Mikasa is a rescued dog I found on the streets during my Xmas holidays in Spain and I just couldn't walk away. We travelled together back to my home in London, what an adventure!: Seville - Lisbon - Paris - Calais - Folkestone - London! I would do it for her a million times :) 
We both live happily live in a penthouse in Slough, just next to a big park where we walk and play a lot! She is very friendly with people and dogs (shame I can´t upload videos here, but happy to share with you somewhere else with no compromise). Her best friend is called "Nugget", a super cute Sausage Dog we take care of sometimes. 
On the other side, I have always been a cat person and have lived with cats until she arrived to my life. 
Speaking from the experience, I know it is difficult leaving your pets with strangers, so I'm happy to meet you in person or have a call beforehand. Also, I'll strictly follow your instructions and treat your pet like my own. If there are any other things you would want me to do, like watering your plants and picking up the mail, I will be more than happy to do this. Besides, if you would like updates about how your pet is doing during your holiday, I would be glad to keep you posted.
I am comfortable pet sitting at yours, dog walking or even bringing your pet to mine. I work from home, so my flexibility is very high and pets are always attended.
This also means your pet will be with me AT ALL TIMES. Once you tell me your needs and I will adapt. I know how to give medications if your pet requires them. I will always carry out a meet a greet prior to the booking so that you are satisfied before you drop your pet off.

Walks:
Are between 30 to 60 min, and I offer as many as you need. Please send me a message for a personalised plan.
Visits:
When visiting, I like spending time playing and making company for a while so they won’t miss you that much.
Boarding:
Your pet will decide where to sleep, and I currently have one pet bed in my bedroom and one in the living room. I will only have a maximum of 1 pet at mine at once (besides Mikasa).

Thanks for bearing me in mind. I look forward to discussing your situation and particular requirements in more detail.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Maria was so lovely! Always super punctual, my dog was always soooo happy to see her! She sent great photos of him and clearly enjoyed her time with him. I'll definitely use Maria again!

Maria was amazing with my dog! She was reliable, caring, and treated my pup like their own. I got regular updates and could tell my dog was happy and well looked after. It’s such a relief to find someone I can fully trust. Highly recommend!

Maria is amazing. She has a great rapport with animals and Isla felt so happy going out on adventures with Maria. Worth every penny and I look forward to having Maria help with exercising Isla in the future. We were lucky to find Maria. Well done Rover! 😀

Schedule

I work from home full-time unless I have ocasional appointments (sometimes I can change those), or other personal commitments. However I’m very flexible. I walk my dog 4 times per day cause she’s a high energy dog. I also go during my lunchtime to a dog owners club for my dog to socialise with others, and I will be happy to take yours if friendly enough (upon your request).

Safety, trust & environment

My dog Mikasa is very friendly and helps a lot with the whole petsitting. I have a massive balcony where they normally play, but also found on space enough indoor to do so. They’ll be constantly supervised with me.

Pets

A typical day

I will go for a walk 4 times per day (3 of them for an hour), last one 30 mins before going to bed. I always like to help with any train needed the owner requests. I have plenty of experience with my dog, who is a rescued, mistreated in the past and couldn’t do almost anything. With love, patience and expert help, she’s much better. I learnt a lot during this process and would be able to help. Also, she’s a big and high-energy dog. So don’t worry if you see me skinny! I train a lot and most of the dogs I petsit are big ones! My strength is not bad at all ?

0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Maria can host up to 3 pets per night
Your dog shouldn’t be aggressive with other dogs to avoid fights with mine. If not friendly or shy, no problem as Mikasa is very respectful and caring with those kind of dogs. I’ve hosted dogs who were scared of big dogs and they’re not anymore thanks to Mikasa’s care! She’s even better than me ? Also, I don’t accept dogs who are not toilet trained at my place.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
