Pet care experience

Your pet's home away from home!

I am a lifelong dog lover and caregiver. I grew up in a dog-loving family and been raised with a giant schnauzer. Now I have a dog of my own - a miniature schnauzer. I am experienced in maintaining a balanced diet and regular grooming for dogs, and ensuring dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need through regular walks playtime and interactive activities. Your dog will enjoy the company of my well-socialised and friendly dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged. I provide a warm, welcoming space where your dog can feel at home, cared for as if they were my own.

Tuukka was very comfortable and even seemed reluctant to leave! The regular pictures and videos made us feel at ease during our trip so we had one less thing to worry about!

Maria was really good with Roxy and made her feel at ease. She sent regular photo updates throughout the day. Roxy came back with a happy wag of the tail. Would recommend!

Maria is so sweet, and I really appreciate that she could look after my dogs over Christmas. Her little dog is such a good boy! Eva didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much.

Thank you for looking after Kenzo, Maria. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was with you and Feddie. We also appreciated the photos and messages keeping in touch. Kenzo is missing Feddie already!

Pets

A typical day

As a dog owner and pet sitter working from home, my day is structured around providing attentive care for both my own pet and those I sit for. Mornings start with a walk in the park and breakfast for the dogs. Throughout the workday, I incorporate breaks to play, feed and check in on their needs. My flexible schedule allows for regular exercise, training sessions and quality time. Even during work hours, I ensure that pets are comfortable and engaged, making most of my time at home to offer a caring and responsive environment.
