About: Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child, and my love for them has grown even more into my adulthood. I became a pet sitter because it is my passion to help others, so giving back to owners and animals is very rewarding to me! Additionally, I have a lot of experience working at an animal shelter for a couple of years, dealing with newborns to wildlife of all different types of species, as well as having a background in medical care. I’ve been boarding, walking, dog walking/drop-ins and house sitting for the last 5 years; therefore, I have all the experience to provide your services! I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved one(s)! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to help nurture and love on your fur baby while you’re away. In my home, I offer a cozy and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and secure. This includes designated areas for sleeping, playtime, and feeding, along with access to fresh water at all times. I adhere closely to the pet’s regular routine, following feeding schedules and ensuring they receive plenty of exercise and mental stimulation through walks and interactive play. Plus, I have a securely fenced yard for added safety. Regular communication with the pet owner is crucial, providing updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured of their pet’s well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and environment to minimize stress. This involves following detailed instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding, medication, and any specific care needs. I ensure the home remains clean and tidy, including regular pet waste removal and basic housekeeping tasks. Offering companionship and attention to the pet is essential, with regular playtime, cuddles, and affection provided to keep them happy and content while their owner is away. Effective communication with the owner, including updates on the pet’s activities and behavior, helps to build trust and ensure peace of mind throughout the pet-sitting experience.”

About: My calm demeanor works best with those that are old, skittish, or just wanting a comforting presence. For those with high energy I will happily play with them to their hearts content so you can come home to a calm and content pet. Currently, my schedule allows for me to be available in the mornings as early as 7am. Evenings until 10 are negotiable if more time is required. To give your pet the best care I require a rundown of your pets daily life and any special needs they may have so as to do that to keep to their schedule.

“Mary has watched my dog buddy a couple of times and I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter. (Once was planned for a weekend and once was an emergency situation and she was willing to work with me to take him for a few days.) Buddy takes medication in the morning and Mary had no issue giving it to him. He is a mid level energy dog who has space to run and play in the back yard. He loves to look out the picture window in the living room. Overall I will send buddy to stay with Mary again in the future.”
