Highlights
Pet care experience
Passionate, Experienced Dog Lover
I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, with experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Growing up with Labradors and greyhounds, and later owning my own Labrador, gave me a strong foundation in understanding dogs’ physical and emotional needs. I have extensive hands on experience with greyhounds through my family dad and his partner, which she is a greyhound trainer, as well as through kennel work caring for racing greyhounds. This background has taught me calm, confident handling and an appreciation for structure, routine, and safety. I have also run a dog walking business, working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Alongside this experience, I offer a safe, secure fenced garden and a reliable, attentive approach to ensure every dog in my care feels secure, exercised, and well looked after.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much looking after Dukes, lovely people who look after dogs, will definitely us again Dukes didn't want to come home. Thank you mike +Donna.
I was very happy leaving Obie with Maria and her family. Communication was great, and I felt confident he was in good hands. Obie came back happy, which tells me he was well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely use Maria again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.
Maria and her family were really good and very patient with my dog not settling as he was very difficult. Would highly recommend. Kept us well informed and we're really good even though our boy was naughty for them
Maria and her family opened up their home at such a special time of year to look after my boy, Maria was lovely and friendly, kept me up to date with what was going with Ace. I would definitely recommend Maria and will definitely being using Maria again 😁
Maria was great from start to finish. Her communications via the app were very clear. She made sure she knew exactly what Jazz needed for the 2 days she stayed (she takes medication). She sent me updates so I knew how she was doing. I felt secure in the knowledge Jazz was being well looked after. The booking was short notice (had to travel for a funeral) but Maria was very relaxed about it all which helped ease any worries I may have had.
Bella had a great time with Maria and was settled and happy when I collected her.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily life and something I am deeply passionate about. I have relaunched my dog walking business, which allows me to dedicate my days to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Your dog will be in safe hands, joining me on walks that are not only fun and engaging but also tailored to their individual needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, fenced garden that provides a safe and spacious area for dogs to run, play, and enjoy themselves. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and the enclosed space ensures they can explore and exercise freely in a safe environment.
A typical day
I can offer lots of play and cuddles and a lot of dogs love it when you hide their treats and they have to go find it.
