Safety, trust & environment
In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with full respect and keep things clean, tidy, and consistent so pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, especially those who are shy, anxious, or need a gentler approach, and I adjust my care to suit their needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, and any specific instructions from the owner. I live with my parents (I’m 30, it’s 2026, it is what it is) in a semi-detached house. Your fur babies will have access to the nice large, fenced garden, warm converted garage space and open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. We are an animal-loving family.

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has good recall and is well behaved off leash. I will always build a rapport with your fur baby before allowing off leash shenanigans. I love getting to know dogs funny little quirks, health issues, favourite treats and toys.
A typical day
I am in walking distance from many parks and open areas for off leash chaos! (Glebelands, Victoria Park, Friary Park, Stephens House.) Lots of local cafes are pet friendly, so typically we will grab a coffee on the way to the park and then go crazy in the park. If your dog is not so high energy, we can go for a slow stroll and play ball in the garden. I have a car and happy to drive further to Hampstead health if you have a posh dog or any other preferred place. Happy to arrange pick up and drop off too.

Pet care experience
Calm, experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of dogs and cats. I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which gave me a deep understanding of daily care, routine, and the bond pets build with their people. I’ve travelled across Australia caring for cats and dogs in a variety of homes, gaining hands-on pet sitting experience with different routines, personalities, and environments. I’ve also worked with a support dog puppy breeder for 3 weeks, where I gained practical experience with training, structure, and early development. Alongside this, I’m training as a dog groomer and learning canine first aid, so safety, care, and attention to detail are always a priority. Most of all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away.

Reviews
So happy to have found Maria. Her energy is calm which is perfect for my nervous cats. For once, they didn’t run away as they usually do with my previous cat sitter. Maria is brilliant - do book her if you get the chance!
Our one year old Schnoodle Tabi absolutely adores ‘auntie Maria’. Our little pup is quite nervous and takes some time to get used to new people, but Maria was so patient and kind and made her feel at ease I’d recommend Maria to anyone wanting to have a loving person look after their pet
Maria took great care of our sweet old dog Jonny, he is a grumpy old man but Maria seemed to make him feel right and home! Would throughly recommend 🙏🙏
We felt incredibly at ease knowing Maria was looking after our lovely boy Stanley. She was attentive and communicative and Stan loves her. We’d 100% recommend Maria.
