Safety, trust & environment

I am very flexible on any needs you or your pet may need. Personally, I like to be more laid back and let the dog tell me what they need. Because I work from home, I can let them out or go for walks whenever they need. For feedings, whichever works better for your dog works for me, whether that’s having meals only at certain times or all day free feeding. Bedtime wise, I am okay with whatever your pet is used to, such as their kennel, sleeping in the room on their bed or even cuddles in bed (size dependent). Whatever extra need or request you may have, just let me know and we can figure it all out!

Information Maria L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet requires any special care, such as medications or preferences, so I know how to care for them the best way possible!

A typical day

I take a very laid back approach to caring for pets. If they’re lower energy, most of the day can be pets, cuddles and lasting around the living room, and quick pee breaks/walks. If they have more energy, that’s when I’d add longer walks, playing catch outside or with toys inside, puzzle games, etc.

Loving your pet as much as you do!

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs from age 8 and have had my own after moving from my childhood home. I am also part of a local rescue as a coordinator, and have fostered many dogs over the years. I have experience with dogs from all walks of life: puppies, adults, seniors, pregnant mommas, litters, medical/special/behaviour needs, low and high energy. You name it, I have experience with it! I am very passionate about caring and loving dogs, and I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend(s)!

Izzy was happy to see us when we came home, but she was sad to see Maria leave. Three days later, Maria had to stop in to pick up a couple of things she left and Izzy was beside herself with joy to see Maria again.

Maria was responds quickly and was really easy to talk to. It looked like our Lucky had a fun day with her outside, playing and napping. Thanks again Maria for taking good care of Lucky!

Maria was so easy to work with and she is very accommodating. She took very good care of Sophie and regularly sent me photos. Maria is friendly and kind and was very eager and excited to look after Sophie. I will book Maria again and I highly recommend her!
