Top Dog! 🥇
Insured ✅️ Full DBS check ✅ Hey there! I'm Maria and I love animals. I studied a Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management in college, passing the first year with distinction. l've always been fascinated in canine behaviour and their loyalty to us. I've been comfortable with animals from an early age and felt I understood their needs/behaviour instinctively. This allowed me to train our family puppy when I was around 10 onwards. I have previous experience as a voluntary dog trainer with the charity 'Dogs Trust', working in their Dog School classes. This furthered my knowledge surrounding body language and overall behaviour seen in puppies, senior dogs and rescues. I love all animals, but dogs are my favourite! I have been an enthusiast from a very young age - Reading breed books cover to cover. Learning about health conditions, nutrition and behaviour in particular breeds. I was once no.1 in the UK on a quiz app for the topic 'dog breeds'. (My idea of fun may seem sad to some 😅) I'm relied on when taking care of family and friends dogs so I have additional experience through this. Including bathing, providing medication, feeding, walking, playing etc. Animal welfare is my no.1 priority and I'd treat your pets as if they were my own. They are in safe hands! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I really look forward to working with you and getting to know lots of new, furry faces! Maria 🐾

Ratings and reviews
I would thoroughly recommend Maria , my whole family attended a wedding and we had no one to take care of Toto . Maria came in walked played and fed him . She is highly reliable and kept me informed with pictures of Toto . Will definitely use her again
Very pleasant, prompt and polite. Excellent with three very different dogs
My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.
Maria was great with our little puppy and he loved her too! Especially for cuddles! She did everything we asked with no problems! We will definitely use her again.
Excellent with Ella, friendly and highly recommended.
This was the first time we had ever used a Dog Sitter in our home before and Maria was fantastic!! She played with our dogs, kept the house spotless, and provided daily texts and photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. Our dogs were clearly very well-cared for and happy when we returned. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter and we will definitely be booking her again!

Schedule
Schedule - I walk and sit full-time. Every day for me varies as I work around regular walks and ad-hocs. I'm usually able to adjust my days according to your pets needs, whether they join on group walks or solos. I try to accommodate as best as I can! :)
