Availability

I have a 9 am to 5 pm schedule. I always make sure to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care. I take them out at least four times a day, including a longer walk after work to make sure they get enough exercise. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s. I’m also able to take dogs to the office with me. On weekends, I have full availability, which means even more time for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s boarding or doggy day care, I'm committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved :)

Information Maria Jose F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or specific behaviors I should be aware of. I’d also love to hear about their daily routine, favorite activities, and any training cues they’re familiar with. Understanding their preferences and habits helps me provide the best possible care and ensure they feel comfortable and safe.

A typical day

We’ll start the day with a refreshing walk, letting them explore all the new scents in my neighborhood. I live near Haagse Bos, which is perfect for long walks or some off-leash playtime if permitted. Throughout the day, we’ll play games and enjoy lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and quality time.

Lifelong Dog Lover - Caring for dogs like family

Pet care experience

Dogs have surrounded me for as long as I can remember. They’ve always been a part of my family. To me, dogs are pure love; they give endlessly without expecting anything in return. Back home in Ecuador, my family and I have six dogs, which has taught me everything about their care, needs, and unique personalities. From managing multiple dogs to understanding their behaviors, I've gained hands-on experience in responsibility and companionship. I’m living in the Netherlands for 2 years, I truly miss my own dogs, which is why I’d love to care for yours as if they were my own. Whether it’s providing affection, exercise, or special attention, I ensure that every dogs feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away!

My first experience with Maria was great, she was very accommodating and accepted a last minute booking. My puppy loved spending time with her and was so excited to see her for the second visit.

Maria is an awesome sitter! I can’t recommend her enough. She is so caring with my puppy and takes all her special needs into account. She is very flexible with her time and managed to accommodate last minute bookings from me.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Maria as Polly’s dog sitter. From the moment they met, it was clear that Maria has a naturally warm and caring way with animals. Polly bonded with her right away, and throughout the stay she was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. Maria was reliable, attentive, and genuinely affectionate with Polly — exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your dog. I felt completely at ease knowing Polly was in such good hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and truly exceptional dog sitter.
