Pet care experience

Retired police officer loves dogs

My love for animals started as a young child and I have always grown up with either a dog or a cat. For fourteen years I had numerous German shepherd dogs that lived with me and would go and do police work every day with my husband. My role was to take these dogs for long walks and give them lots of love and attention!

Boarding • 24 Aug 2026

Maria is a well informed, caring and extremely reliable person. She boarded Arlo (a 4-year-old cockapoo) for almost a month when we were away for our summer holiday. We met a few people off Rover before coming across Maria and the questions we were asked didn’t fill us with confidence as some of them were basic dog care ones, which would have been known by pet owners/carers. When we met Maria, her expertise was evident and, instantly, we felt confident to leave our dog with her. Our dog was well exercised and loved throughout his stay. We would be more than happy to leave our dog with her again. Thank you very much for taking a great care of Arlo. We had an amazing holiday thanks to you & knowing that he was well looked after in our absence.

Maria is a friendly bubbly person who is also very caring. She is extremely trustworthy and dependable so she wont let you down. Maria is very active so your dog will enjoy lovely walks with her and most importantly plenty of cuddles. She has looked after my dog Riley at our house and they both had a great time. I would highly recommend.

Maria is a caring and responsible animal loving individual. She is a retired police officer and her partner of nearly 2o years was a police dog handler, so she has a lot of experience with keeping dogs. Maria loves the outdoors and relishes going out for long walks, regardless of the weather, she would make a great dog carer.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a reasonable sized garden that is completely fenced off in a quiet cut-de-sac. There are no other persons that live in my house. In addition I have a large conservatory where most of the pets I have looked after have enjoyed lounging in but I have to confess I am quiet happy to have a dog on my bed!.
