Pet care experience

🐶 Friendly & Reliable Pet Lover in Uppsala

I've always loved animals, especially dogs! and caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have experience with dogs, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs, and I adapt easily to each dog's personality and needs. What sets me apart is my patience, gentle approach, and attention to detail — whether it’s following a specific feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you're away. I’m active and love long walks, so energetic pups get the exercise they need, but I also know how to create a calm, cozy environment for older dogs or those with special needs. I treat every dog like part of the family — with affection, respect, quality time outdoor and lots of cuddles 💙 💕 ❤

Vi blir alltid lika glada när vi behöver hundvakt för vår golden-hanne Rufus och Maria Paola har möjlighet. Då vet vi att han blir riktigt väl omhändertagen. 😊👍

I felt so comfortable handing over my golden to Maria from the first time talking to her, very professional, easy going and kind person! My dog was excited and happy being with her from the first meeting and while I was away she sent a lot of pictures and updates which was so appreciated and showed her dedication to hosting. You can really tell how much she loves animals and how dedicated she is to taking the best care of them and making the animal have the best time. Will without doubt come back when in need in the future! Thank you so much!

Paola has been a godsend with our whippet puppy with separation anxiety! For his first time staying with a sitter and away from us, she made him (and us!) feel very safe and gave him lots of love and attention. He got to go on long forest walks, and Paola sent us lots of lovely pictures. We'll make sure he gets to hang out with her regularly - thank you Paola!

It was our first time leaving my one year minpin with the stranger in the new home. I was nervous knowing how anxious she might be, but all went incredible well! Maria was sending me videos and pictures confirming that my girl is playing, eating, sleeping etc, behaving normally and feeling happy! I am very grateful for our first such successful experience! Highly recommend!

Schedule

I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles. I am often home so when I take care of a pet I ensure I can be there to offer the best care and I plan make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m usually available and happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. You can count on me to be present, attentive, and fully engaged when your pup is in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each dog’s routines, preferences, and any special needs before the stay begins. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they feel safe and loved. In my home, dogs have access to cozy resting areas, regular walks, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect the space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding and walking schedules to house rules and medication. I always aim to build trust, not just with the pets, but with their owners too. Regular updates and photos help you feel connected while you're away.

A typical day

I love to start the day with a nice walk in the neighborhood so the dog can get his needs and have a gentle excersise. Then we would go back home, have breakfast. For the midday and afternoon walks we would go a bit farther in the forest for a nice longer walk and had fun playing together.

Please let me know the routines your dog has in place so I will try to keep them as much as I can during the time I'll taking care of it. Also if he has specific needs, in terms of feeding time,sleep, medications etc. I highly appreciate to have an emergency contact. Thank you
