Pet care experience

They call me MareBear the CareBear

I've been around farm animals and pets (small and large) my entire life. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight pet sitting. I have experience with simple commands/training for puppies (sit, shake, etc). I also have been the caregiver for senior dogs with duties including but not limited to diaper changes, administering medications, etc. I currently have an open schedule. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding, as well as daily walks, playtime, feedings. I have a flexible schedule. My home has a very large fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run, play and get exercise. I have multiple clean large and small dog beds and blankets. I also have a dog crate and a portable doggy playpen. I also have pet stairs for senior dogs and cats.

House Sitting • Jul 30, 2026

Mary is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of Cannoli and follows every instruction to a T, which gives us so much peace of mind. She is incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and truly treats Cannoli like her own. It’s been so hard to find someone we completely trust with our girl, and we’re beyond grateful we found Mary. We always know Cannoli is in the best hands, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you for loving our pup so well! ❤️🐾

Mary is a wonderful pet sitter, she gave my kitties a lot of attention and made sure they were eating well while I was traveling. She’s the best! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mary is the perfect pet sitter! She gives me great peace of mind knowing the cats are given so much love and attention to detail. She sends amazing pictures of the cats and all her completed duties. I highly recommend Mary and will continue to use her in the future.

I think knowing any and all medical conditions prior to dog sitting/walking would be ideal. Also, information pertaining to the pet's temperament would be ideal. Also, knowing any triggers that may upset your pet would be ideal.
