Dog lover with no dog:(
Pet care experience
I’ve been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I grew up with 2 west highland terriers, the last of which died a few years ago. Since then, I’ve really missed having dogs around. To itch this scratch, I’ve looked after some friends dogs and really enjoyed it! In terms of experience, I volunteered at my local dog training club for 3 years where I helped lead various classes from puppy training up to advanced.
Reviews
My pup Selma had a lovely time with Maria. They went for a couple of nice walks and sat in a cosy cafe, and Selma was nice and tired afterwards, which was great for me. Communication throughout was excellent. Recommended.
Cooper stayed with Maria over a weekend where he was more than looked after. We visited a few days before his stay and I was very comfortable with everything. I came back to collect a very happy little dog. Highly recommended.
Maria has looked after our dog Yogi on a number of occasions, sometimes for as long as a week. She is responsible, conscientious and a great communicator. Yogi always comes back with a beaming smile! I can fully recommend Maria for any pet sitter position as she will listen to and understand the needs of your furry friend.
Maria is the perfect person to look after anyone's dog. Throughout her life she has adored dogs and has owned 2 herself. The first was a westie she had throughout her childhood, and the second was a westie who was sad and lonely after his owner died. Maria rescued this little dog, who became her loyal companion and lived the happiest days of his life until he passed away 3 years ago. From the age of 15 to 18, Maria was a volunteer at a puppy training class in Bearsden. She attended every week and became an assistant trainer to all breeds of dogs in the classes. Maria still looks after friends' and family's dogs; she is the perfect dog handler and knows exactly how to gain the trust of all dogs she meets because of her patient, caring manner and confidence.

Safety, trust & environment
I live on a ground floor flat in Woodlands, West End. It has a community gardens opposite and is very close to kelvingrove park. My family home is also 10 minutes away where it has a big enclosed garden and some more animal lovers inside! If you have certain rules/routines with your dog, I can follow them; if they are allowed on furniture, I will let them, if they sleep in your bed at night, they can sleep in mine! Just let me know:)

Availability
I am doctor for the NHS. I completed my junior doctor training recently and so have taken a pause on full time work. I now work sporadically throughout the month and have plenty of time to take care of a furry friend. This does, however, mean I can’t commit to a regular/weekly service, I am available on more of an ad hoc basis.
