About Maria

Hi there! I'm Maria, a 25 year old dedicated pet lover with a passion for animals. I've had the joy of growing up with animals, where I've developed a deep understanding of the skills required to care for them. I've also fostered many animals from the SPCA, nurturing them back to health, ready for a good loving home. My experience extends across many dog and cat breeds, as well as birds, Guinea pigs and rabbits. I am passionate about all animals! 🐶🐈🐰🐹🐴

I also have my own pet, Shaggy 🐈 He's a ginger cat that I fostered from the SPCA and fell in love with. He had a neglected kitten-hood but he's now a very well looked after member of my family and sleeps like he pays the bills!

I've had experience pet sitting and walking for many friends and family, and I'm now looking to branch out to others in need of a hand with the care of their furry friends!

Availability:

I'm flexible with my availability, but usually available mid-late morning and afternoon/evenings, 7 days a week.

I offer:

- pet sitting services in your home/home visits 

- Dog/cat walking

This can include:

-Medication administration

- Pet training

- Grooming/bathing

- Feeding

- Play time

For home visits I am available to do things such as water plants, bring in the mail, or other tasks that you may need assistance with! I can stay as long as you like, and will follow all the security measures to ensure your home is looked after while you're gone!

My walks are usually ~30min-1 hour depending on the pooch. I can walk up to 3-4 dogs. I usually walk around Cornwall park/other reserves and dog parks such as big king reserve but I am open to go to new places!

So if you're in need of someone to walk/look after your furry friend, I'm reliable, motivated, experienced, and will guarantee that your beloved fur-ball gets the best possible care and attention! 🤗

House Sitting
Joanne, 2024-04-07

Dogs left alone too long on first day, better for next two. Came home to a tidy house and bed sheets washed however dog beds were covered in poo and vomit (not normal for our healthy dogs) so spent evening soaking and cleaning. Seem to disagree on events of weekend so unresolved . Not the standard of care we would have expected or wanted for our puppy and dog.
