Information Maria Teresa P. would like to know about your pet

After booking a service, you will receive a small questionnaire about your pet. Here, you'll be able to share all the details regarding your dog's routines, as well as any specific needs or behaviors that I should be aware of to make their stay safe and enjoyable.

A typical day

A typical day with our pets (and yours) would begin with cuddles in bed, followed by breakfast. Afterwards, we'd go for a long walk. We enjoy wandering around the Johan Cruyff Arena and other surrounding fields. We understand the importance of taking our time and offering both physical and mental stimulation. After that, we'd return home and have a lengthy siesta, because rest and sleep are equally necessary. While at home, we would spend some quiet time playing with their toys and lying on the couch. The rest of the day would be spent walking, eating, and napping some more, with occasional photoshoots.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Mari and I'm a full-time pet sitter 🐾 I know how hard and stressful it can be to find someone caring and reliable to look after my pets while I'm away (I've had some bad experiences myself!). That’s why I'm here—to help fellow pet parents enjoy stress-free vacations and workdays. I love animals and understand your specific needs as a pet parent. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your pet is in loving hands. I hope to make life easier for your, and happier for your furry-family! ADDITIONAL INFO: 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏼 I live with my boyfriend—aka assistant doggy sitter, our tiny dog Pumba, our loving cat Nala, and our three parakeets Bob, Marley and Woodstock. We enjoy going on long walks and playing with our pets as much as we do cuddling with them on the couch. Our apartment is surrounded by green trails for walking, and parks are nearby. Our pet's happiness and well-being are our top priorities, and so will your pet's. 👀 Check-out the 'Safety, trust & environment' section (under 'Details') to learn more about boarding and daycare services, as well as house rules.

We had an amazing experience with this lovely couple who took care of Obie. From the very beginning, they were kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. They made sure he felt comfortable, loved, and safe at all times, and it was clear they genuinely care about animals. We received EVERYDAY updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Obie was happy and relaxed when we got back, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters.

Paddy has the best time with Maria. He’s gets so excited when he realises he’s going to her place. We got lovely photos and updates as always.

Costa stays over for daycare once a week and he could not be more excited to go in the morning and doesn’t want to leave in the night. Maria gives all the care, attention and love a dog could possibly want and Pumbaa and the other dogs love to play. A pleasant, reliable and kind sitter to trust your loved one with.

Frenkie loved his time at Maria’s. We were a bit scared for daycare as Frenkie had never been before. However, online we got a great impression and with a short meet and greet we were sure that Frenkie would be in good care at Mari & Mau. We got frequent updates and a happy dog when we came to pick him up. Overall, great care for our puppy from lovely people. We will rebook!
