Your Mary Pawpins has Arrived!

Pet care experience

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.
