About Maria
*Xmas Bookings: I am unable to take Christmas bookings (23 Dec - 3 Jan) at the moment as my plans are uncertain still. Apologies!
I have always been fascinated with animals, since sitting on my dads knee watching David Attenborough animal programmes. I havent been lucky enough to look after hippos or arctic foxes but have been lucky enough to travel throughout most of NZ with a mixture of housesitting, working on farms and even taking over a petting zoo for several weeks! The zoo had over 150 animals from bunnies to ostriches, from highland cows to llamas. My love for animals has grown with me throughout my life and although I cannot currently have my own pets, I have a lot of love to give animals.
My experience with animals has been really varied and for new animals I havent handled, I love learning about them.
I have gained my Pet First Aid Certificate last year and completed a course on basic Dog Grooming.
I work full time so will be in and out of the office. For this reason, I can only do long weekends, or dogs that are independent and ok being by themselves for the day. But get in touch to have a chat about your requirements!
I also do basic grooming, wash and bath, nail trimming etc so speak to me about what you would like for your fur baby!
I live alone in a one bedroom apartment so this may be only good for small dogs for any overnight stays. I dont have a fenced off garden, but I do live a few roads over from Alex Moore Park and other dog parks Meekswood Reserve and Flinders Park.
I would be happy meeting you and your pet to see if we get along. To see more about me and my pet sits, my web page is www.facebook.com/seeagirlaboutadog Please get in touch if you have any questions!
