About Mariya

Thanks to growing up on a farm I learnt how to nurture and take care of various animals including rabbits, birds, cats and dogs. After moving to city my family kept dogs and cats of various breeds both in our apartment and country house. Having furry family members takes effort and work but it was always a great experience and brought a lot of joy to all of us.

Nowadays, I live by myself with no pets. I used to work long hours as a lawyer, interpreter from 5 languages and university lecturer. However, these days, I work at home writing my first book. And, over the last year, I hosted and walked a few of my friends' dogs. It has been a delightful experience for me personally and every dog that I took care of looked happy and healthy during their stay.

Depending on their needs, I walked the dogs 2-4 times a day, added chopped up veggies to their feed to improve their digestion and brushed them daily or every other day. As for walks, there are a lot of parks in my area within a walking distance. So, every dog got to enjoy a variety of routes and destinations when going for walks with me.

I also have experience with house-stting and taking care of pets on-site.

Please don't hesiate to reach out. I will be happy to answer any of your questions and see if we are a best fit :)

The best dog minder and caregiver around. She spends time to know each pup, and gives them individualised care and attention. Our dogs are thriving, and we are worry free with Mariya looking after them.

Mariya is such a kind and courteous house/pet sitter. We initially met and discussed pet details over zoom. I have 2 French bulldogs, one with a medical condition on medication & supplements. From the moment they met they fell in love with Mariya.

She understands many breeds and characteristics.

This was my first trip away, & I felt so comfortable. She gave me lovely updates with messages and videos, that my parents enjoyed watching with me.

We also had a good few laughs with quirks to what she hadn't seen other dogs do before.

I would recommend Mariya, and I know that we will be asking her to stay with the girls again when I need to travel, along with some coffee catch ups.

It is pivotal to me to take care of a pet properly, so, to see them happy and healthy. Thanks to growing up on a farm I learnt how to nurture and take care of various animals including rabbits, birds, cats and dogs. Also, I hosted a few of my friends' dogs and it has been a delightful experience for me and them. Depending on their needs I walk a dog 2-4 times a day, add chopped up vegetables to their feed to improve their digestion and brush them daily or every other day.
