Alfie’s Pals is an independent dog walking and small pet business based in Farnham, Surrey.
Like so many people, I have loved spending my life being in close contact with a range of animals. However, as a working mum, I realise there are times when fitting a quality outdoor experience into the day for your beloved pet just can’t happen!
The walks and care that your pet will receive with Alfie’s Pals will be a second to none, home from home experience.
An initial free consultation with you will establish your pet’s needs and leave you confident that the highest quality provision will be provided.
Your dogs will be picked up in our air-conditioned and crated van. If your dog dislikes crates, we can provide safe harnesses for travel.
Should you wish it not to be advertised that no-one is present in your home, the vehicle has removable magnetic logos.
For optimum safety, all dogs on a walk with us will have an Alfie’s Pals information tag attached. All client contacts, a first aid kit and plenty of water will be carried on each walk.
About Me
I have completed an accredited course of Dog Walking and Pet sitting . My Pet First Aid training is up to date. I have comprehensive liability insurance and am DBS checked.
This is a change of career for me, having spent my entire adult life in as a primary school teacher.
I have a love of nature, birds, wildlife and The Cosmos! I have completed courses in massage and Reiki healing, which, although practised on humans, are transferable to other animal species!

“Maria has been a Godsend for us with our two dogs. We needed a dog walker to take the pressure off the daily walks in our busy family by taking them out once and on occasions twice a week. Maria has filled that void and then some; she is completely reliable, warm and friendly and, rather importantly, she genuinely loves dogs. She is prepared to be flexible where she can be in stepping in at the last minute and in this sense, we’ve really benefited from this being quite an early business for her. We hope she doesn’t get too busy but are sure she will!
Maria has a really lovely bond with our whippets, who are always pleased to see her and she has genuine affection for them, often sending me beautiful photos of them bounding through heather or racing along on walks. She got the measure of their characters very quickly! I really appreciate that Maria takes the dogs out to interesting and varied places. She has her favourites, but they are all open countryside where the dogs can really run and explore. They get the full hour too, without taking into account travelling time, which I’ve found to be an issue in the past with others.
I feel very lucky that we found Maria and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We’ve used a few other dog walkers over the years and have found her hands down to be the best.”

“Some time ago Maria taught our son and it appears she is as conscientious with dogs as she was as a teacher. Our dog Lola gets so excited when she sees Maria, which gives us complete peace of mind that she enjoys her walks and time with her. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond, washing down Lola before she is returned home. I know that Lola has a thorough walk with Maria as she is always contented and restful afterwards. I would be very happy to recommend Maria to any dog owner”
