Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, reliable dog sitter
I’ve spent more than 25 years surrounded by animals, and I lived with a young female puppy for over a year. This taught me how to follow daily routines, walks, feeding schedules, and how to support a dog’s emotional needs. I’m attentive, calm and patient — I understand different temperaments, from energetic and playful to sensitive or shy dogs. I love spending time outdoors, playing, providing structure, and helping pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Beyond dogs, I also have lifelong experience with cats and general animal behaviour, which helps me adapt quickly to any pet’s needs. My goal is always the same: to make sure your dog feels happy, cared for and understood.

Ratings and reviews
I could not recommend Mariia enough! It's the second time my dog Fred stayed with her, this time for three weeks. He simply adores her and I was kept in the loop of how he was doing on a daily basis. She clearly loves and understands animals, has great responsibility and is very communicative.
Maria was great with Einy. She is also very respectful and nice person. We will definitely book her time again!
Mariia houdt met haar hele hart van honden en poezen. Tijdens de kennismaking klikte het meteen tussen onze hond, Tula, en haar. Mariia vroeg ons uitgebreid naar de dagindeling van Tula en naar haar gewoontes. Voor ons was dit de eerste keer en we maakten ons best zorgen maar Mariia appte ons iedere dag hoe het ging en ook met foto's. Wij hoefden ons geen zorgen te maken en konden volop genieten van onze week vakantie. Voor ons is Mariia helemaal Top!
Mariia was incredibly kind and made my cat feel truly welcome and, most importantly, comfortable. The daily pictures and updates gave me real peace of mind and helped me stay calm, knowing my cat was in good hands. I’m absolutely sure she enjoyed her time there, she didn’t even want to leave 😂 recommended!
Mariia is one of the best cat sitters I’ve ever had. My cat Loulou is not very social, she is often scared of new people and usually needs time to get used to someone new. With Mariia, everything went very smoothly. Loulou got used to her very quickly because Mariia was very respectful of her space and very gentle with her. We regularly received photo and video updates, which made us feel very calm and reassured about leaving Loulou with her new friend. Mariia is also a very easygoing and open person. She has already helped us a few times, and we will definitely continue asking for her help. I would totally recommend her!
Mariia was a pet sitter for my lovely cat, Polly, for a week. It was a completely amazing experience for Polly! Mariia gave Polly a lot of attention and love, and I felt absolutely sure that everything was fine. I would love to leave Polly with her again!

Schedule
I work fully remotely, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings, and I’m happy to arrange boarding, drop-ins or walks depending on what your pet needs. My schedule is very flexible, so we can easily coordinate a routine that works best for you and your furry friend.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet, pet-friendly space with a fenced yard and several parks nearby, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and safe. I currently have no pets at home, so your dog or cat will receive my full attention without stress from other animals. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications and any special needs. I’m calm, patient and communicative, and I make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable and understood—whether I’m caring for them in your home or hosting them in mine.
A typical day
A typical day with me is calm, structured, and tailored to your pet’s routine. I work from home, so your pet gets regular attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. For dogs, we’ll do walks in the neighbourhood and nearby parks, with plenty of sniffing and mental stimulation. At home, I include gentle games, basic enrichment, and quiet rest time in between. For cats, I follow their rhythm—play sessions, cuddles if they want them, and plenty of space when they don’t. I always prioritize comfort, safety, and a stress-free atmosphere.
