Snuggles, Walks & Care for Cats + Dogs 🐾

My name is Maria and I’ve always loved animals and grew up surrounded by guinea pigs, bunnies, dogs, birds, and cats. Each one has their own unique personality and way of showing love, and I truly appreciate that. The deep connection I feel with animals is what drives my passion for caring for them. Some of these connections feel timeless, which is why I’m here on Rover. My goal is to make sure your pet feels completely at home while you’re away or enjoys every moment of their walk. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just calm company, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and happy. Dan grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and is most at home with pets around. He’s used to having 10+ dogs at any given time and has always had a cat or two curled up nearby. With both of us caring for your pet, you can rest assured there will always be someone around to offer extra love, cuddles, and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

At our home, your dog can enjoy our safe, gated backyard where they can roam and play freely. We also have a lovely park nearby for walks, so your pet gets plenty of fresh air and exercise in a secure and fun environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. I make sure your pet feels loved and cared for, giving them attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. Creating a safe, trusting, and loving environment is my top priority whether your pet is with me or staying in their own space.

I had an amazing experience with Maria! She arrived early for the drop-in visit, stayed the entire scheduled time, and went above and beyond by taking my dog on a walk. She kept me updated throughout the visit with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure my pup was happy and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

María & Dan are so lovely, they put our minds at ease looking after Peanut. We received regular updates and Maria even helped with some advise on how to help with Peanuts allergies. We will defo be back in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for a safe place for the fur babies! Thanks once again! 🤗

We couldn’t be happier with the care Maria provided for our dog, Milo, during his overnight stay. Maria and Dan truly treated Milo like part of the family. Throughout the stay, they kept us updated with messages and adorable photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Milo was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. When we picked him up, we knew he was clearly well cared for. It’s always a little nerve wracking leaving your dog overnight, but Maria made the whole experience stress free for both us and Milo. We’ll absolutely be booking again, highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog sitter.
