Pet care experience

Love pets, owner for 20+ y. Help you with yours.

I have had pets since I was 5 years old. I have taken care of other people pets since I was 15. Love cats and dogs specially. Photos are all happy clients. Don’t own any pets at the moment. I work from home full time so I am able to stay at the house most of the day. I sometimes go out for a coffee, a movie, the theatre or dinner with friends some nights for a few of hours. Please let me know before you book if your pet can’t be left alone for a few hours at a time. If the booking is for longer than a couple of days I’ll also go to the gym in the morning for an hour or so. I always listen to the owner’s instructions about their pet and their home. I am mainly a home person so like staying in watching Netflix or reading a book. I have extra insurance (in addition a to Rover’s) and I have an update enhanced DBS check because of my job.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow your instructions down to the dot. I think it is very important to maintain pets routine and give them all the care and attention they need to thrive, or let the. Be if they are independent.

Maria, walked our dog four days a week for two and a half months each morning while I recovered from a foot operation. Maria did a great job. I would recommend.

Maria, has been walking Topsy for us four days a week for two months while I recover from a foot operation. Maria does a great job, is brilliant with Topsy and is a great communicator. Thank you!

Maria is walking Topsy four days a week while I recover from an operation and it’s a great relief to have someone so reliable walking her.

Maria was amazing as always! My babies love her looking after them. I can tell they have had a lovely day. I get regular pictures and updates and my house is left immaculate!

Knowing that Maria is looking after Topsy and the house has made going away for a few days or longer much much easier.

This was the 2nd time Maria has taken care of Leia and she continues to take great care of her. Maria is always very communicative and follows instructions, which can be a lot when dealing with a stubborn bulldog. We come home to a happy dog and house kept in great order. Highly recommend.

Schedule

I work from home and go to the office once or twice a month, thus I can be with your pet full time. I go to the gym during the morning and sometimes I do go to the theatre, cinema, pub with friends sometimes for a few hours during the evening. I love going on walks around the park and the city and love have a furry companion while doing so.

I would like to know about the pets’ routine, how they like to spend time and if the are active or not so. What they like to eat and what’s their favorite places for a stroll. Please let me know before you book if your pet can’t be left alone for a few hours at a time.
