Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet's Best Friend in NL
Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso, learning from an early age the respect and care they require. Later on, I took full responsibility for my mother’s long-haired Border Collie due to her frequent business trips. This experience gave me deep knowledge of high-energy breeds: I understand the importance of quality walks, mental stimulation, active playtime, and maintaining a strict physical routine to keep them happy and balanced.Additionally, I have experience caring for my grandmother's dogs and spent 5 years living in the Netherlands cohabiting with a Pinscher, which has allowed me to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I know how to adapt to every dog's pace, whether it is a high-energy pup or a senior dog looking for peace. I am punctual, responsible, and offer total peace of mind for walks or in-home care.

Safety, trust & environment
When visiting your home or staying to care for your pet, my absolute priority is to keep their daily routine intact to ensure a stress-free experience. I make sure they always have fresh water, precise food portions, and a pristine litter box or resting area. I am extremely clean, organized, and respectful of your home's privacy; I will leave everything exactly as I found it.For my walking service, I completely adapt the intensity and length to your dog's age and energy level: from active, dynamic walks for high-energy breeds like Border Collies, to calmer paces for senior dogs. Safety is my top priority, so dogs are always kept on a leash unless we are in a fully fenced dog park with your explicit permission. I always bring fresh water, waste bags, and treats. Afterward, I will wipe their paws if it was rainy and send you a quick update with photos and videos so you can have total peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Maria looked after my cats Laurel and Hardy when I went away on holiday to France. She came over a week before so we could go over her tasks in my absence. In the introductory meeting she was calm and the boys seemed happy to be around her. When I was away she let me know how the cats were getting on with photos and videos. She not only fed and cleaned out their litter trays she also played with them and kept them company which is really important to me and the boys.
