Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog & overall animal lover
I have roughly five years experience taking care of others’ dogs on a regular basis. I always thought I was a cat person but as it turned out… I am a dog person, too! I have experience mainly with adult and senior dogs, both big and small. I am an expert at hiding meds in a yummy snack or spoon of peanut butter. I am dependable and stick to your pets schedule and needs! I’ve won and lost many a tug of war in my day…

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am very thorough and attentive so I will make sure to fulfill any requests you have and needs your furry friends may have. I always make sure that pets in my care have fresh water and their scheduled food, as well as comfort toys and treats. I make sure to study medication regimens thoroughly, so I can keep your pets in optimal health and spirits. I establish trust through consistency in action (that includes treats!). I am concerned with making sure your pets feel safe in my care, first and foremost. I think the only way I can be a fun caretaker for your pets is to establish that feeling of trust and safety.
Ratings and reviews
Mairead is the best cat sitter! Howie and Gus looked forward to their daily visit. Mairead treated them like her own cats and it brought so much comfort while we were out of town. Thanks Mairead!
Mairead is a modern day Snow White. I returned to two happy and well cared for cats. Even my neighbor's cat stopped by to visit. And my millipede, which I hadn't seen for a month, made an appearance! I am especially grateful that Mairead provided expert care to my one cat that requires medication and a specific diet. I would 100% book with her again.
Mairead was amazing! She provided wonderful care for our two cats--one of them recovering from a recent bout of gastroenteritis--and gave us great peace of mind during a lengthy trip with daily updates, pictures of the cats, and very hands-on support. We'll be booking Mairead for all cat-sitting from here on out!
Mairead was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She stayed at our home with them and took such great care of both the dogs and the house. She communicated consistently throughout the stay with multiple updates each day, and she never hesitated to reach out when she had questions, which we really appreciated. We were especially grateful for her flexibility and understanding when a few logistics changed on our end — she handled everything so graciously and made the whole experience completely stress-free. On top of that, she left our home even better than she found it. We would absolutely book with Mairead again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter. Thank you so much, Mairead!
Mairead was fantastic! She was so good with my dogs and sent me tons of pictures and updates. My dogs can be a bit anxious the first day with a new person and she handled it perfectly. She was so good about questions if something came up and letting me know how the dogs were doing each day. I never worried that my dogs were in the best hands!
Mairead is the best! She is super responsive and trustworthy. My cat loved her right away. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was top notch.
