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.

Pet care experience

**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.

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..

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
