When I’m not behind the wheel of giant 2-story “Tonka” trucks, you can usually find me spending time with furry friends. My job gives me plenty of time off, and I can’t think of a better way to fill that time than caring for animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, providing pet services lets me combine my love for animals with my free time - and give pet parents peace of mind while they're away.

Safety, trust & environment

I share my home with my sweet cat, Maple, who my wife adopted from a no-kill shelter. She’s spoiled with love, and I care for her the same way I would care for your pet — with attention, patience, and consistency. Every day, I make sure Maple has fresh water, a clean litter box, plenty of food, and lots of playtime and cuddles. I believe pets deserve a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, and I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and respect I give my own. I truly adore animals (if I could, I’d have a house full of cats!), and I take their well-being seriously — because they’re more than pets, they’re family. 🐾

Information Mary A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, accommodations, or preferences so I can provide the best possible care tailored just for them. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and feedback to help you feel connected and at ease while you’re away from your furry family member.

A typical day

A typical day with me means plenty of fun, play, and personalized attention. I love engaging with pets through their favorite activities — whether that’s tossing a ball, playing with toys, going on nature walks, or even splashing around with water on warm days. I always take time to learn what each pet enjoys most, so I can tailor the day to their unique personality and interests. My goal is to keep your furry friend happy, active, and feeling loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Serious inquiries only. I value my time and I value your time. Pretty please with a cherry on top 🍒🙏 If for any reason I don’t respond in a lightning-fast, high-speed-internet kind of way… please understand I’m just like the rest of you—working, hobby-ing, taking fitness classes, driving, spilling tea, or bravely facing a sink full of suspicious-smelling dishes. That said, I will get back to you within the standard 24 hours. Guaranteed. If I don't answer within the guaranteed 24 hours, I will offer half off my regular price. My longest response time ever was a few hours—and that was either because I was at work or I fell asleep during a movie 😅 Thank you for attending my TED Talk. You may now proceed to my actual intro. 🎤✨ Hi, I’m Mary! Animals aren’t just a passion for me — they’ve been part of my life’s work. While living in France for 5 years, I volunteered with Les Pattounes du Cœur, a nonprofit that rescues and rehomes pets. I fostered everything from playful kittens to wise senior cats, including special-needs pets like my favorite three-legged kitty, who found the perfect forever home. I also rescued a sweet dog from the streets and helped him overcome anxiety caused by his past, teaching me patience, understanding, and the joy of building trust. Now back in the U.S., I’m here to offer loving, reliable care for pets in my community. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and truly cared for — as if they were my own. ❤️

Mary, was fantastic. I got daily updates with photos. Ms Cleo, Sami and Fiona were very well cared for and that makes going on vacation a little sweeter knowing that they were in great hands with Mary. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, she was able to make sure Ms Cleo took her twice daily meds.
