❤️ Loving WFH Sitter + Westie
Hi, I’m Maria! 🐾 I work from home, which means I have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m also very flexible with scheduling and happy to adjust to your pup’s unique routine and needs. 🐶 I share my home with Yorky, my friendly 9-year-old Westie, who loves having doggy company. To make sure everyone’s comfortable, I’m always happy to meet beforehand so the dogs can get to know each other. 🏡 Safe & Cozy Home – Pet-friendly space with lots of love and attention. 🚶 Walks & Playtime – Daily walks, play sessions, and plenty of mental stimulation. 💊 Special Care – Experienced with medication, senior dogs, and dietary needs. 📸 Regular Updates – Photos and videos so you can see how much fun your pup is having. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of care, love, and attention while you’re away. ❤️

Ratings and reviews
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, Maria was kind, reliable, and genuinely caring. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated regularly, which meant a lot, and it was clear my dog felt comfortable and happy throughout. When I came back, everything was perfect — a relaxed, well-looked-after little boy says it all. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Thank you again, Maria, for taking such great care!
Maria was fantastic! And her little dog, Yorkie, was a great companion for Hank over the Christmas holidays!! Maria kept me updated throughout Hank’s stay and loads of pictures to ease the pain of being away!!! Thanks again Maria and Yorkie for looking after Hank! He’s keen to go back 😊
I'm so happy that we found Maria. She boarded Harry for four days and we felt absolutely safe leaving him with her. She is a very responsible person, which was the most important thing for us. We received photos and videos three times per day or even more, which gave us lots of comfort. We are leaving Harry with Maria again in January for almost a month, which tells a lot about how much we trust Maria.
Maria took such good care of Miso! He was very happy and well taken care of. She sent loads of photos and updates. I really appreciate her help with short notice. I'd definitely recommend!! ❤️
I cannot recommend Maria highly enough as a pet sitter! She is the most responsible, caring, and attentive person I know and she is the best pet mom to her adorable 8 year old Westie (Yorky). She is the biggest animal lover and would definitely treat every pet as if they were her own. If you want to make sure that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for, Maria is the perfect choice :)

Schedule
Because I work from home, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. I take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions, so dogs get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Whether it’s a short potty break, a long walk, or some toy time, I make sure pups stay happy, stimulated, and loved!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At my home, dogs have a safe, cozy space to relax and the company of my friendly 8-year-old Westie, Yorky. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means specific feeding times, medications, or exercise needs—and provide daily walks, play, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and videos so they can see their pup is happy and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is full of walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles to keep your pup happy and relaxed. We’ll explore the neighborhood, play fetch, and enjoy fun games that fit their energy. At night, they’re welcome to curl up in bed with me so they feel cozy and right at home.

The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away 🩷
