Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I treat each one like they’re my own! I provide personalized attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's a cozy bed, plenty of playtime, or just the right amount of treats, I tailor my approach to meet each pet's unique needs. I follow any specific instructions to a tee and keep the environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience, so pets enjoy their stay just as much as I enjoy watching them!

Information Maelyn S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to sit for any type of dog! If your dog has any special needs I need to tend to, please let me know!

A typical day

During each visit, I make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in their own space. A typical visit includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always take time to match each pet’s energy — whether that means tossing toys and playing chase or giving gentle pets and quiet company. I love keeping animals mentally and physically stimulated, so we’ll play fun games, explore their favorite spots around the house or yard, and make sure they get plenty of enrichment and affection. My goal is to help them feel happy, secure, and cared for until you’re back home! 🐾

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Mae—a passionate animal lover with over 7 years of professional experience. Whether they are energetic puppies, mellow seniors, or pets with special medical needs, I provide attentive, tailored care for your furry (or scaly!) friends. ‎ MY HOUSEHOLD: I currently care for a cat (on a medication regimen), two frogs, and a turtle. ‎ AVAILABILITY & SERVICES: My full-time job’s hours are from 9am-5pm, so my schedule is currently optimized for drop-ins, walks, and weekend care: • WEEKDAYS: Available for visits before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. • MIDDAY: Slight flexibility for quick check-ins during the workday. • WEEKENDS: Generally wide open! • LONG STAYS: During the work week, I may be away for 5–6 hours at a time. I am not currently available for weekday overnights. ‎ I may be able to deviate slightly from the above to accommodate to your needs, so please ask if your request is a bit outside of my schedule. I’d love to meet your pets and ensure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. ‎ NEW CLIENT DISCOUNT: Get $20 off your first booking with code MAELYS52941 on my Rover profile. Looking forward to meeting you!

Mae is WONDERFUL. Hazel loves her and I always feel good knowing she will be well cared for. Thanks Mae 💛 Mae always leaves my home better than when I left it and it is clear she genuinely cares for animals.

Mae was wonderful with Hazel. She is very easy to work with, communicated often and sent pictures, and I came home to a happy pup. Thank you Mae!

We all love Mae! The pups are so comfortable with her when she stays! She’s always made it so easy to take a stress free trip! We actually rescheduled our trip to make sure she was available!
