Dog utopia and infinite cuddles

I have grown up around dogs as my mum used to foster greyhounds, so I have a natural comfort being with them. For 2 years now I have been dog walking and dog sitting in my home - further expanding my experience in dog care. Looking after different breeds of all ages and sizes has taught me so much about training and the needs of different dogs. Being with dogs and animals in general makes me very happy and I love making them happy too. I am hardworking, reliable and will give your dog all the constant care and love it needs whilst you are gone. I understand that every dog is different and take pride in making them feel comfortable and at ease if I am walking them or dog sitting. I would like to know what the dog eats and its habits, if the dog has any issues with people or other dogs. Just general need-to-know information about your pup so I can look after them the best I can :)

Doggy Day Care • Aug 04, 2026

Maria was fantastic with my dog, Kairo. She kept me updated throughout, and it was clear Kairo was well looked after and happy. Her little dog, Mishka, also seemed to get along well with Kairo, which was lovely to see. I felt completely at ease knowing Kairo was in such caring hands. I would definitely book with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter 😊

This was a horrible experience. Maria called me 5 min after drop off to say that she didn’t want to do the sit anymore. She claimed that my dog growled at her dog. She then accused me of lying to her about my dog’s behaviour. Maria clearly has limited experience and is not professional. She struggles to cope with other dogs. She is clearly out of her depth. I cannot recommend her to anyone but would suggest that she doesn’t sit dogs anymore.

House Sitting • Nov 01, 2021

Maria was great with our dog Nora. She was able to take our booking at short notice after we had had a cancellation, and was communicative. She stayed with Nora and our cat Otto overnight. There were fireworks overnight and she was able to look after Nora and knew what to do when she became anxious. Maria left our house totally as she found it and we would recommend her as someone who clearly loves dogs and was a relaxed and friendly sitter!

Maria looked after Layla really well - she came back tired but happy! Maria took her swimming (she loves water) and to the park - so basically a spaniel’s. Maria was also v reliable - al

Maria was very sweet and obviously adores dogs. Our 7 month old Labrador seemed very comfortable around her. I was concerned about her living in a student house and although the place is disheveled even for student place, her housemates seemed to give our pup lots of love and attention. 3 stars because when we collected our fur baby, some of his things were missing and I’m not sure how safe an environment her house is for a puppy (Sherlock had a cut on his leg, although this could have happened with our other dog sitter)
