About Maria

Veterinary Nurse | Servicing Monash Suburbs We’re the same type of people if we’d rather welcome more dogs than humans into our home. 🐶😂 We’re a full house of animal lovers, with some members of the family working from home.. so your best friend gets plenty of company and supervision throughout their stay. Bagel unfortunately does not handle puppies or big dogs, so we will not be accepting any. Apologies in advanced as he was the second child and now also an arthritic senior man. As a qualified Veterinary Nurse at a specialist clinic, I have a deep passion for animal health and behaviour. I love getting to know each animal’s individual personality, quirks and routines to understand what makes them feel comfortable at home. Our family provides personalised, attentive care to make sure your best friend has a fun, interactive and comforting experience while you’re away. We’re lucky to have plenty of options for leashed trail adventures and occasional off-leash dog park visits, depending on your dog’s routine and preferences. 🐱 For our feline friends With cats, I take the time and patience to build a genuine bond. My goal is for them to understand that I’m a safe person they can trust and rely on while their loved ones are away. Yes, Churus are a very good bribe… 😂 but I also love creating simple enrichment toys and activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated during drop-ins. My favourite part is watching a shy cat’s confidence blossom through soft reassurance, affection and most importantly.. going at their own pace. We’ve been dog sitting since 2018, but our love for dogs started before that. Our beloved Sammy the Maltese Poodle (still featured in our photos) was our childhood little man for 17 years, before we said goodbye to him in 2023 due to doggy dementia. Losing him left a very big hole in our home and over the years, we’ve found so much joy in welcoming other dogs through our doors and treating them just like our own part of the family. The best parts of life usually have paws. 🐾 🏡 Our Services include: 🐶 Doggy Sleepovers - Walks daily or trips to the dog park - Plenty of cuddles, pets and playtime - Treats including boiled chicken breast & dried liver treats - A home environment with people around during the day 🐾 Home Visits 30-minute stay & play - Refill food & water - Clean litter boxes - Play, enrichment & human warmth and company ✨️ - Complimentary plant watering - Garbage removal 🚶‍♀️ Walks 30-minute walk around your neighbourhood or to a suitable local dog park round your block! 👜 What to Pack for Sleepovers 1. Bed: A bed, blanket or piece of clothing with your scent 2. Food & Treats: Your pet’s usual dry/wet food and a measuring cup for accurate portions 3. Medication/Supplements: Clearly labelled with dosage instructions 4. Favourite Toy: Something familiar from home 5. Collar/Harness & Leash: Your pet’s usual walking equipment We’d love to organise a meet & greet before your pet’s stay so we can get to know them, discuss their routine and make sure we’re the right match for your best friend. Hope to hear from you soon.
