Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet care provider | Genuine care
I’ve been the proud owner of Bella, a Sprollie (Springer Spaniel x Border Collie), for four years 🐾 Owning a high-energy breed has taught me how to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and balanced 🧠⚡ During walks, I use consistent commands to encourage good leash manners and calm behaviour. I specialise in on-leash walks and long-lead walks in parks, giving dogs the freedom to explore safely 🦮🌳 Neighbours, friends and family have trusted me with their pets, and I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give Bella ❤️ For boarding, please bring your dog’s own food as every dog is different — some have specific dietary needs due to skin or health conditions and I want to make sure they’re comfortable 🍽️ If you have a favourite blanket or crate you’d like them to use, feel free to bring that along too 🛏️ For walking, just let me know whether you prefer on-leash or off-leash, and give me an idea of their recall so I can keep them safe 🐕 Before any booking, I always arrange a meet and greet so your dog is familiar with me before I come to pick them up — we can sort this out easily during the booking process 🤝😊
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Maria was excellent and quickly adapted to our little dog Tess and communicated very well beforehand. She is now set up for regular walking and Tess is very happy 😄
I have known Maria for years and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She has been Bella’s devoted owner for four years now, and watching how she handles her day to day is truly impressive. Bella is a Sprollie — a Springer Spaniel and Border Collie mix — which means she is an incredibly energetic and intelligent dog that needs constant exercise, mental stimulation and patience. Maria provides all of that and more without a second thought. What really stands out about Maria is how naturally she connects with dogs. She doesn’t just walk Bella, she engages with her — using commands, training techniques and activities that keep Bella stimulated and well behaved. Bella is a testament to the time and effort Maria has put into her care. She is a happy, healthy and beautifully mannered dog because of Maria. I have also seen Maria around other people’s dogs and she brings that same level of attentiveness and warmth to every animal she meets. She is the kind of person who genuinely puts the dog’s comfort and wellbeing first above everything else. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, experienced and truly passionate about pet care, Maria is absolutely the person for the job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a two-bedroom house with a fully fenced garden, so your dog can roam and play safely 🏡🌿 We’re just 5 minutes from large green areas around Malmesbury, perfect for both on-leash and off-leash walks 🦮🌳 We also live close to rivers, so just let me know if you’d prefer your dog to stay dry or if they’re happy to get a little wet! 💧 For boarding, please bring your dog’s crate or bed if you have one so they feel right at home 🛏️ We have our own dog bowls but you’re more than welcome to bring your dog’s own if they prefer — whatever keeps them comfortable! 🍽️ Your dog’s safety and happiness is always the priority, and Bella will be on hand to help them settle in 🐾❤️
