About: I got my first pet when I was 8 and have had pets ever since. I love meeting other people’s pets. I ran a pet transport business transporting pets across the country two years ago and am excited to now stay closer to home while still spending time with special pets. My kids are grown with their own families so I have plenty of free time to spend caring for your precious pets, whether you just need a drop in visit or overnight care. I am an honest dependable person who will treat you, your pet(s), and your home with the utmost respect. I am a patient person who will be nothing but loving to your pet(s).

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. For dogs, I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you’re away. I am currently available Monday-Friday for drop-ins and house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, for dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I plan my schedule around providing consistent, attentive care. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility during the day, and I’m available Monday through Friday for drop-ins and house sittings. I make sure each pet receives reliable care at the same times each day, along with attention and companionship. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and providing playtime, exercise, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, monitor the pet’s health and behavior, and send regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

Excellent service for house sitting with a demanding male cat - Sabbat. I booked a 10-night stay with the best sitter to watch my cat. He was well taken care of during my absence and Mary went above and beyond my expectations! My cat loved her and is still looking for her..even his coat improved from so much petting and care. She tidied the house, washed the dishes, took care of my kitty, and covered all of the details. I have a complicated home and Mary took care of every single detail impeccably. SHE SENT MOVIES, VIDEOS, UPDATES! I COULD NOT HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER SITTER. Mary was awesome....

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

Two very large dogs intent on destroying our home (or so it seemed) and somehow Amanda kept order. We received daily communication and pictures and she cleaned up their destruction. We returned to a surprisingly clean house. Definitely rebooking her.

About: I have had different animals while growing up, primarily dogs and cats. And I have experience with large dogs as well. I’ve also helped friends and family with watching their animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to help take care of other animals. I should not have a problem having time to help with your pets needs. I will be able to help pet sit, dog walk, and care for your animals needs so you don’t have to worry about them being taken care of.
