Highlights
Pet care experience
A Loving Home With Tail Wags Guaranteed!
I’ve grown up caring for animals of all sizes throughout my life. After my beloved beagle passed away in 2020, I began hosting other people’s pets — and I’ve never looked back. I’ve welcomed dogs of all breeds and personalities, and it’s always a joy to see regular guests pulling their owners to my door, eager to start their holiday with me!

Ratings and reviews
Maisie had a great time with Maria and her family. Maria is clearly a 'doggie- person' and Maisie took to her straight away. We were sent several videos and messages so would have been reassured that all was going well had we been concerned, but we weren't, as Maisie seemed right at home from the start. Thank you Maria - Maisie is really looking forward to her next stay!
Maria P. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Maria and her family took great care of Buddy, and loved him like he was their own. We received updates and could see in these how happy and comfortable he seemed. Maria cared for buddy during the heatwave and made sure that he was well looked after. It seems like buddy would be more than happy to stay there again! Thanks Maria.
Maria is a reliable sitter, very friendly and easy to communicate with. She's looked after Hazel several times now and Hazel has always come home happy and tired.
Great updates, Poppy had a great time!
Just perfect! Star took to Maria straight away. I had no concerns or worries about leaving her for the 1st time. She had an amazing time, and is very much looking forward to her next visit. Thank you 😊

Schedule
I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free days to spend quality time with your pet. I only look after dogs on my days off work, to ensure I am at home at all times to give your beloved pet as much cuddles and attention as they wish, as well as providing them with their exercise and toilet needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home has a secure front and back garden, so your dog will always be safe. The back garden is large with plenty of grass — perfect for a game of fetch or a good run around. Gates are always closed and double-checked to prevent any escape attempts! Inside the house, I use a movable safety gate that can be placed wherever you prefer — for example, at the bottom of the stairs or in the kitchen. I'm happy for pets to join us on the furniture and upstairs, but if you’d prefer to keep to your home’s rules, I’ll make sure to do the same.
A typical day
I have a big, secure garden which we can play fetch in. If you’re happy for your dog to do hurdles and they’re physically fit enough, I love doing hurdles with them in the back garden. Many dogs I’ve looked after have loved hurdles and get really excited. There is also a nearby field just one minute away from us.
