Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to adjust each visit to the needs of your pet, whether that be to sit and snuggle , play in the garden or a park, or a short or long walk. My own 13 year old Sprocker Spaniel, is very friendly and will make a lovely temporary companion if walked together. I am able to walk them separately if needed.

We felt completely at ease leaving our Bengals in the care of Maria while on holiday. We had initial visits with Maria before our holiday to ensure Benji & Talulah were comfortable and they connected straight away. Talulah became nervous before we left, but after a day Maria sent us updates to show Talulah venturing out to socialise! All updates received were as expected and nothing unusual regarding our cats behaviour. We have already booked Maria again for our next holiday and will be recommending to our friends and family!!

Maria was amazing taking care of my dog Sammy. He was relaxed and happy with her. She took great care of Sammy, sent me updates and photos and the house was left clean and tidy.
