Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Walker & Cat Sitter NW GNV
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Northwest Gainesville looking forward to meeting your pets! I’m dependable and enjoy spending time with cats and dogs of all ages and energy levels. I am patient, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality, routines, and comfort level, whether they’re energetic puppies, shy cats, or seniors who need a slower pace. I’m detail-oriented, safety-focused, and always communicate clearly with updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for—just like they do with you.

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs: Comfortable with small, medium, and large dogs. Familiar with gentle handling. Great at establishing routine and reinforcing good walking habits. Trustworthy and communicative — you’ll always know how the walk went. What Your Dog Can Expect: ✔ Plenty of sniff breaks ✔ A walk tailored to their energy ✔ Fresh water ✔ Light cleanup (poop bags included) ✔ Post-walk update with photos ✔ Lots of love and positive attention Cats: For cat visits, I maintain their normal feeding schedule, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and give them playtime or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I make sure their space feels safe and clean and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or appetite. I always treat their home with respect—lights, doors, and instructions exactly as you prefer.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing as always!!!
Mary suggested doing a meet and greet with my cat to make sure every box was checked, to ensure that my cat had everything she needed. Mary took great care of my cat and took many awesome photos. I highly recommend booking Mary for your pet. 5/5
Mary was great with our animals and sent us the cutest photos each time.
Mary picked up a visit spur of the moment today!! She is amazing!!
Mary is awesome!! She took care of my dog with no issues whatsoever, highly recommend!!
This is at least the 4th time we’ve had Mary sit for our 2 dogs and was an example of why she is exemplary! She is an excellent communicator and this time her astuteness and communication probably saved the lives of our dogs or ourselves. Upon leaving our home she noticed a snake in our garage and she sent us a picture. It was a water moccasin which could have easily found our dogs inside! We called for a Wildlife Snake Remover and he killed the snake. Coming home to a loose water moccasin would have been dangerous. Thanks to Mary, our dogs and ourselves are safe. We recommend her once again! She is our hero.
