Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, loving pet care
I have a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve had dogs since I was 11 years old, along with cats and other pets throughout my life. Our cat Tabby is 7 years old (a rescue) and I also have over 11 years of experience with rabbits, I currently have 6 rescues, ranging from 2 to 13(!), giving me a well-rounded understanding of different temperaments and needs. I have experience administering medication and caring for senior pets, puppies, and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routines, making sure they feel secure, understood, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Ratings and reviews
Sammy had such a great holiday with Maria. Communication was fantastic, we got loads of pictures and videos of sammy having fun in the park and all of his walks. Will definitely rebook with her!
Maria looked after our mini dachshund Diego for a few hours at fairly short notice which was really helpful to us. Diego responded to well to her immediately which was comforting and she provided us with pics and updates which helped out own anxiety about leaving him with someone new as we had only done this once before so are still very new to having someone sit for us. We knew immediately that Diego was in safe hands with Maria and we will definitely be looking to rebook her again soon.
Maria was lovely and Sam had a great time at hers, even made a friend! We also got loads of pictures and updates. Will definitely rebook ☺️
Maria did a beautiful job of looking after our 4 month old puppy on her first day in doggy care. The photos throughout the day showed our little pup was very happy, settled and engaged which made us so comfortable. Communication was prompt and thorough, we can’t wait to use Maria’s services again.
Great sitter! Would definitely recommend Maria. Was very attentive with our cat and sent daily updates and photos!
Maria has been so wonderful with my dog Bonnie. She always keeps me updated and shares how she’s getting on. Bonnie seems to be genuinely happy staying with her. She’s super lovely too!

I am an office manager by trade and currently on sabbatical taking a break from the corporate world so have plenty of time on my hands depending on what you need! :-)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure walled garden, with access from the kitchen. Much enjoyed by my rabbits (when it is not raining and cold!), they have their own rooms so won’t be a bother to any dogs needing an overnight stay. My cat stays indoors and can usually be found lounging around in the apex window of our top floor bedroom.
