I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pup’s needs. My flexible routine allows for long walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I’m available for boarding both during weekdays and weekends, ensuring your dog has companionship and care while you’re away. Dogs truly fit into my everyday routine, as I'm used to building our day around Evie and her needs.

Please let me know if there's anything I should take note of. I would also love to meet beforehand so your pup can get used to me and Evie.

I love just walking or even running outside and exploring parks. I usually drive and walk around Cannock Chase, especially if there's some sunshine to be enjoyed.

Pet care experience

Hi there, If you’re looking for reliable pet care, I’d love to help! 🐾 When you book through my Rover profile using the link below, you’ll receive £15 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/mariac89067 Just use the link to claim your discount and secure your dates. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Over the years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs of all kinds—not just the happy, healthy ones, but also those who need a little extra attention. I live with Evie, my beautiful Olde English Bulldog, who’s been by my side since she was a pup. She’s now 5 and full of personality. Evie’s had her own health ups and downs, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and responsive to a dog’s individual needs. She’s neutered, well-mannered, and used to being around other dogs. As a registered nurse and mum of two, I’m naturally attentive and nurturing, and I bring that same care into how I look after animals. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them—whether it’s a cuddle on the sofa or a walk through the woods. I’m home most of the time, and with plenty of lovely walking spots nearby, I make sure dogs get fresh air, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every dog like family—with love, patience, and a calm, safe environment where they can feel right at home.

Maria was lovely with Pablo during his stay and kept me updated with lovely pictures and videos so I could see all the fun he was having. It makes such a difference knowing your dog is being cared for as though he is part of the family.

What a wonderful family, truly creating a home away from home. Pepper had a great time and Maria kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos. Thank you for caring for my fur baby so well 🩶

I could not be happier with how Maria and her family looked after our 8 month old dachshund Chester for 2 weeks. We received regular updates with pictures which were a joy to receive and helped keep my daughter's separation anxiety at bay. The family were out and about every single day with Chester, their dog Evie and other guests clearly providing enrichment for all. I without hesitation recomend most highly.

Wonderful family. Took Poppy on a trip out to the forest with their dog, Evie. Poppy can sometimes be a little unpredictable with other dogs and yet, they were fully mindful of this, gave her a lot of exercise, love and attention and gave her free reign of their house - their dog, Evie, is clearly very comfortable with other dogs around and overall I felt that this family go "above and beyond", even going so far as to drive over to my house to drop her off at the end of the day. Honestly one of the best experiences for myself and for Poppy and I would certainly use again. Just an amazing experience!! 5******
