About Maria

Hi! I love animals and in I've had the good fortune of having various dogs and cats to be my in-house companions throughout my life. Nowadays, because we tend to travel a lot, my husband and I don’t have pets at home, so I can’t get enough of patting every dog and cat that crosses my way :-). I also adopt my parents’ country house pets most summer holidays, and take a chance to pamper them a lot. I also LOVE taking photographs of dogs and cats and wish I could do it professionally!

I have been unemployed for a few months and since I sometimes care for my neighbours dogs because I love their company, I thought perhaps I can cover some basic needs doing something I'd naturally do as a favour anyway. 

At the moment, I am working hard on setting an independent professional practice, which takes time. I do so at home, and though I am being very strict with my dedication, my hours are very flexible! 

We are a mature couple, living in Hurstbridge for over 3 years and loving it. We enjoy being part of the community, and can’t get enough of all the walking trails, parks, and activities on offer, which we could take your dog to.

We live in a townhouse just off Hurstbridge’s downtown, with a decent back yard, plus a large balcony, all fully fenced with no escape for dogs. The social area is also huge, there’s lots of space for pets and us.

I can arrange to take care of your pet at our home during day and/or night, take them for walks, pay them a visit, drive them to nearby destinations when needed, or pick them up for a stay or a walk.

I am happy to discuss what you and your pet need and see if we can work it out. 

I have a police check, working with children check, and you can ask many neighbours and community members about us.
