I booked Maria at short notice and was bit disappointed. I haven’t actually met Maria as my daughter dropped Ollie off and collected him but she reported back that Maria is a wonderful lady who looked after my Ollie so well. She sent my daughter pictures and videos and all I can say is what a lucky dog he was to have stayed with such a dedicated and wonderful sitter. Her communication is excellent and Ollie certainly had a great time. It was the first time I had left him with anyone other than family. He is only just 1 and still very much a puppy. All I can say is I will definitely be using Maria again.

Maria is a totally professional dog minder. She provides a true home from home experience. Our little dog adores her. Maria even rents a safe, secure field where she takes her "guests" to enjoy and play in whilst they stay with Maria.

Alfie and Bella had a great stay with Maria. We received photos everyday of their walks. Maria was very accomodating of pick up and drop off times and was understanding when we were delayed on our return. Very happy.
