Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or requirements, I will gladly take care of them, for example, if it is allergic to any food or material, if it needs medication, if you want me to bathe it, how many walks a day it needs and it is VERY important for me to know if the pet has had or has any kind of aggressive behaviour with strangers.

A typical day

I don't have a typical routine, each pet is unique and so I adapt my routine to the needs of each pet I care for, some pets like to sleep more and have their own space and just feel they are not alone and I will respect that and some pets have so much energy that they will require long walks and playtime which I will also enjoy sharing with them.

I will look after your dogs as if they were my own

Pet care experience

I came to Germany to study and I had to leave my 3 dogs in my country, that has been very hard for me because I love animals, so I don't take this as a job, I do it because I enjoy it.Your pet will not be seen as a chore to do but as a pleasure to take care of. Apart from looking after my dogs, I worked for 1 year as a volunteer in a shelter for abandoned dogs and cats with more than 400 pets, so I have been in contact with different breeds of pets and I adapt well to their needs. I take classes in the mornings however it is a flexible schedule (many classes are online) so I am at home most of the time, apart from classes, I am free in the evenings and weekends. D I am very responsible with pets, so whatever instructions you give me I will follow them to the letter, I have also cared for sick and elderly pets, so I have experience in giving oral medication and changing nappies if necessary.

Maria ist einfach die beste! Antwortet immer super schnell, meldet sich wenn was ist und schickt auch Bilder.☺️ Wenn der Hund bei ihr ist machen wir uns keine Gedanken, wir waren immer super zufrieden!

As always Maria is the only person I trust our Pablo with. She goes above and beyond to the point Pablo feels right at home the moment he walks through her door. I will always recommend and rebook Maria. For Pablo she is his family!

Maria war großartig. Sie hat sich hervorragend um unseren Hund gekümmert, während wir im Urlaub waren. Wir freuen uns darauf, wieder bei ihr zu buchen, wenn wir das nächste Mal einen Hundesitter brauchen.

Bewertung für Maria M. Sterne: ★★★★★ (5/5) Liebe Maria, vielen Dank für die wunderbare Übernachtungsbewahrung meines 8 Monate alten Hundes Pepper! Ich, Isabelle, bin als liebende Haustierbesitzerin äußerst zufrieden und beeindruckt. Pepper hat bei dir unfassbar viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommen, was mir als besorgter Hundemama sehr am Herzen liegt. Er hatte richtig viel Spaß, war nach seiner Rückkehr voller Energie und hat strahlend von seinen Abenteuern erzählt (natürlich auf seine eigene, süße Art)! Mir ist es wichtig, dass mein Hund in einer sicheren, liebevollen Umgebung ist, ausreichend Bewegung und Pflege erhält, sowie eine individuelle Betreuung genießt – und all das hast du perfekt umgesetzt. Die Kommunikation war einwandfrei, und ich fühlte mich stets informiert. Pepper hat sich bei dir sichtlich wohlgefühlt, was für mich als Haustierbesitzerin der höchste Beweis deiner hervorragenden Arbeit ist. Die Sauberkeit und Fürsorge, die du gezeigt hast, sind bewundernswert, und ich schätze deine Hingabe sehr. Herzlichen Dank für diese großartige Erfahrung – ich werde dich definitiv wieder buchen und dich weiterempfehlen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Isabelle --- Review for Maria M. Stars: ★★★★★ (5/5) Dear Maria, Thank you so much for the wonderful overnight care of my 8-month-old dog Pepper! I, Isabelle, as a loving pet owner, am extremely satisfied and impressed. Pepper received an incredible amount of attention at your place, which is so important to me as a concerned dog mom. He had a ton of fun and came back full of energy, joyfully "telling" me about his adventures in his own sweet way! As a devoted pet owner, I value a safe, loving environment, plenty of exercise and care, as well as individual attention – and you’ve executed all of this perfectly. The communication was flawless, and I always felt well-informed. Pepper clearly felt comfortable with you, which is the highest proof of your excellent work for me. The cleanliness and dedication you showed are admirable, and I deeply appreciate your commitment. Thank you for this amazing experience – I will definitely book you again and recommend you to others! Best regards, Isabelle
