Highlights
Pet care experience
5 mins from West Hampstead station
**I don’t have any dogs at home. My profile says I have 2 dogs, but these are our family dogs that don’t live with me :) I have them on rover as we also use rover to find pet sitters!** I have 9 years experience taking care of dogs and my own family dogs too. I have a lot of experience with dogs that have separation anxiety too and territorial aggression. For my partner and I live close to a park and we also have a garden which is nice to chill outside and inside. They never get bored! My partner grew up with a Labrador and a red Irish setter (very beautiful) and I have grown up with mixed breed dogs that my family has adopted over the years. We have taken care of all kinds of breeds and different sized dogs. We are happy to take care of multiple dogs at the same time too.

Ratings and reviews
Demitris, Maria’s partner helped look after Rufus for me this time and I knew Rufus would be so well taken care off. As usual they were flexible, so easy to communicate with, so kind and they always send me photos. Another perfect dog sitting experience!!
Maria helped me out of a huge hole and went out of her way to do it, she is so kind and always has Rufus’s welfare in mind, putting his cool mat in the fridge and making sure he gets his food at the right time. Both Maria and her partner are so attentive to him and send lots of photos and videos. Just wonderful! Perfect sitters :)
Maria has a lovely warm calmness about her and she clearly adores dogs. I booked her last minute as I had to move things due to the hot weather. I have booked Maria before and felt confident that she would understand how hard it is in this weather for my dog. When we arrived there was a bowl of iced water waiting for him and Maria took his cooling mat and asked if she could put it in the freezer, she thought of everything to make him comfortable and sent me photos and videos showing a relaxed and clearly cared for dog. You couldn’t ask for more :)
Simba stayed with Maria for day care. Maria took such great care of Simba! We received many updates including photos and videos. Great communication. Will definitely leave Simba with Maria again! :)
Reggie had a wonderful time with Maria and Don. They gave him plenty of attention and treated him with kindness. Highly recommended for small dogs.
Maria very clearly LOVES dogs and it was so reassuring to see how much she cared. It was a last minute booking and Maria was very welcoming and relaxed. I left knowing that my dog would be very well taken care of and, as a sensitive dog, it’s the most important thing. Highly recommended..

I work from home 100% remove. I have a nice flat near west hampstead and I live with my partner. I allow dogs/cats everywhere in the house (sofa bed etc). Anything they want they can have.

Safety, trust & environment
I follow the instructions from the pet owner, and depending on their walk schedule I follow that too. Regarding food, I definitely don’t give anything else apart from what is instructed.

A typical day
I work from home, get up around 8am if I haven’t got anything planned, and might go to the gym. Something I go to Hampstead Heath for walks, and sometimes I do yoga at home. I drink my coffee and start working. I work flexible hours, so walking dogs for toilet breaks isn’t a problem.
