Pet care experience
My experience with pet-sitting has spanned across the last several years (e.g., dog-walking for neighbors, caring for family pets), but things really picked up during my time serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA member, as my schedule allowed a great deal of flexibility to help others care for their pets during work days or vacations. I take each client, new or repeat, very seriously. Your pets are your family, and I take that responsibility to heart. Taking care of pets requires routine, discipline, energy, and a love of animals. I myself did not grow up with pets in my home, so I consider being around animals to be a treasure. (The photos on my profile are some of my clients, and I now also have two cats of my own.) I currently work full-time from home, which allows me flexibility in my day-to-day routine. At this time, I am only offering walks and drop-in visits, and do my best to keep my calendar as up-to-date as possible. I value treating each client as unique, and I absolutely want you to feel comfortable to be upfront with me regarding your needs and desires for your pets. After all, these are YOUR pets and they deserve the best! **Please note that I am more than happy to work with folks who own both dogs and cats (or other small animals), and have worked with a number of folks who are interested in pet-sitting services for all of the furry family members in their life. Please do not hesitate to connect with me if you have any questions or concerns.
Reviews
Very responsive and kind, would absolutely book again in the future!
Very professional! My normally shy cat warmed up to Mae instantly, which was amazing! I got some great and funny pics to assure me the kitties were well cared-for and entertained! Mae was wonderful!
Reliable, communicative & very sweet to my four legged family. Thank you Mae!
Mae was great with my cats while I was out of town. I would absolutely recommend and I plan on asking Mae to watch my cats again.
About Mae K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow all guidelines and expectations that owners have, as I want their time away from home to be stress-free, whether during the work day or while on vacation. Details are very important to me, and I will not hesitate to ask clarifying questions, if needed.
Information Mae K. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to understand what your needs and expectations are so that I can take top notch care of your pets. If they have any special care notes I should know about, please be sure to share those with me. I do not have any breed or size preferences and enjoy having exposure to any pets.
A typical day
Walks can take place anywhere of your preference, and I typically stick to the routes owners prefer or provide. I am a very active, energetic individual and love providing pets with the type of exercise suited to their needs and personalities. Whether it's playing fetch with a frisbee or a ball, jogs/runs or casual strolls, I always make sure that I confirm with my clients what their expectations are.

Mae can watch in your home
Availability
Since I work full-time from home, I have the ability to plan around meetings and project blocks, as needed. Pet walks and playtime provide me with a mental and physical break, which is purrfect. I just need enough of a notice to make sure your needs are met and my schedule is open.
