About Maria

Hi! I'm María, a marketing, communications and teaching professional who moved to Melbourne with my partner in May. While I'm looking for my next opportunity, I'd love to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy: caring for dogs.

I've always loved animals and grown up around pets. During my university years, I spent two summers in Wales working as a dog walker, which gave me valuable experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I know every dog is unique, so I always adapt to their needs, whether they enjoy long energetic walks or a slower, relaxed pace, and to their size too. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and stress-free.

I'm reliable, responsible, punctual, and active, so you can trust that your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I'll always care for them as if they were my own. I'll also send regular photo and message updates, so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Walks can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what suits your dog best, and I'm happy to adjust the pace and length to their energy level. I love all types and sizes of dogs, and I adapt easily to each one's needs. 

I currently live in an apartment in Melbourne. We've just moved here and don't have any pets of our own yet, so your dog would have my full attention during their time with me. I'm happy to follow their usual routine, provide fresh water, feed them if needed, and of course, give them lots of love and attention.

While I'm searching for my next role, I have flexible availability throughout the week and would love to help keep your furry friend happy, active, and well looked after. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
