Hi! 🐾 My name is Maria, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog who has been part of my life since I was 7, and I currently have two dogs back home. My family and I also care for four cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities, routines and needs. 🐶🐱 Now that I live in Amsterdam, I’d love to offer your pets the same care and attention I give my own. I’m available for dog walks, home visits, feeding, playtime and keeping your pet company while you’re at work, travelling or otherwise busy. For dog walks, I usually offer 30–60 minute walks, depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. I’m happy to explore the local neighbourhood and nearby parks/green spaces with your dog, while following your preferred walking route or routine. For home visits, I usually plan for around 30 minutes, giving your pet enough time for feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention and, when needed, a toilet break. I always follow the instructions and routines you provide and take your pet’s individual needs seriously. If something unexpected happens during a walk or visit, I’ll stay calm, make sure your pet is safe, contact you as soon as possible and follow your instructions. In an urgent situation, I would contact the appropriate veterinary service while keeping you informed. I work part-time alongside pet sitting, but I receive my work schedule about a month in advance. This allows me to plan my availability ahead of time and only accept bookings that fit my schedule. Your pet’s wellbeing is my priority, and I’m happy to send you updates and photos during walks or visits. I’d also love to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so you and your pet can get to know me! ❤️🐾
