Pet care experience

Your Mary Pawpins has Arrived!

I am a recent college graduate who spent my time training puppies and fostering kitties. It was it one of the best things I did at university. Outside of that, I helped raise two rescued beagles and a handful of senior cats. I’m experienced with puppies/kittens all the way through seniors. As an educator and loving of all I see myself as an experienced caregiver that wears a multitude of hats

Katie was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and she kept me in the loop the entire time I was away!

Katie spent 13 days with Charlie my 10 pound ShihTzu,. He loved it. I know they play a lot because he has been enticing me to play with him since I got home. He is happy, clean and well groomed. The house is also in good condition. Katie is terrific!

Katie was great with our 8 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback! We would definitely book her again.

Katie is the BEST! She came to stay at my place and care for my two elderly cats (one needs medication twice daily) while I was out of state for an extended time. She lovingly cared for both cats as well as my home! There was a terrible storm the first night I was gone and one of my beloved double stalked San Pedro cactus on my balcony got blown over and torn in half. In addition to being an animal lover, Katie loves plants as well, and to my great surprise and joy, she knew just what to do for the wounded plant and propped it up the next day and it seems to be doing fine. If it wasn't for Katie, that cactus would be a gonner, for sure! I will absolutely have her back next time I need a house and cat sitter.

Katie is an amazing caregiver to our pets. We have two indoor/outdoor cats, three dogs, and three ferrets—they can be quite the handful in the zoo of our house. They naturally clicked with Katie the month she stayed with them. Katie checked in with us promptly every day with updates of them all. Upon arrival back home everything was clean and spotless as well. We would definitely have her back again

Katie is an amazing caretaker for animals. I had her take care of my dog for a week while I went on vacation and was able to update me day to day on how my dog was doing. I got pictures of every adventure they went on. Since I have a puppy she was able to keep her occupied by taking her on long walks, to the dog park, and to the beach! She has been the best dog-sitter that I have ever had! Highly recommend Katie for any pet sitter you may need!
