About Maeve H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
First, I greet the pet and check in on their overall wellbeing. If I am pet-sitting, I will take a quick look about their living environment to make sure that it is clean and safe. If I notice an accident or that the pet has gotten into something, I alert the pet parent. I take care of any in-home needs, and then I spend time connecting with the pet through play, attention, and treats (if allowed!). If I am dog-walking, I make sure to bring the pet's gear (leash, harness, poop bags, water, treats) and prepare a planned route.
Information Maeve H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the basics about your pet (age, gender, breed, brief history), as well as if there are any behavioral concerns, dietary restrictions, or activity preferences.
A typical day
I would take the dog for a walk, let them sniff around for enrichment and stimulation, and bring them to a dog-friendly park to play fetch or frisbee, run around together, and interact with other dogs (if okay with pet parent(s) and part of the dog's personality/interest/comfort zone).

Pets
Reliable, kind, attuned to needs
Pet care experience
I have a deep love and respect for non-human animals. Growing up with multiple indoor and outdoor cats and a family dog (a feisty miniature poodle!), I have developed a strong knowledge base of pet behavior. In my work as a pet caretaker, I look for and respond to behavioral cues and needs, allow space for pets to come to me and feel safe with me, adapt to pets' energy levels, encourage play, and bring a compassionate, patient, and responsible nature.
Cat care experience
Maeve also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Maeve is a wonderful sitter! She showed such care for our cat, was easy to communicate with and sent great pictures!
Maeve was excellent. She was always on time to get Copley and he very much look forward to the walks. She also took very great pictures of their outings which were awesome to see.
I have known Maeve for about 7 years, and during that time I have seen that she is trustworthy, kind and conscientious. She is an excellent cat mom to her cat, Thor, whose friendly personality tells me that he is well cared for. I am a dog-walker and pet-sitter myself and Maeve joined me recently for a dog walk. The dog I had at the time is a bit shy and doesn’t approach everyone, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that he warmed up to her right away and even accepted pets and offered cuddles which is rare for him! He also had a great time playing fetch and running around with her, and she was able to manage him well on-leash. Maeve is genuinely caring and attentive to animals of all sorts, enjoys spending time with them and has my full and confident endorsement to care for your pet!
Maeve was amazing - She shared the cutest photos and I could tell my dog was so happy spending time with her. I’m very grateful for her help!
