Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm reliable care!
Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to giving every dog the same love, patience, and understanding I give my own. Before moving here, I was a foster mom for dogs in Puerto Rico and a proud member of OICA (Organization for the Welfare of Animals). During that time, I cared for dogs of all kinds — from shy rescues learning to trust again to energetic pups eager to explore the world. That experience taught me how to read their personalities, ease their fears, and make them feel safe and loved. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care and know how to provide comfort and gentle support for older pups who need a slower pace. My own dog, Channel, is a joyful, friendly companion who loves meeting new friends and helps visiting dogs feel right at home. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my family. I provide reliable, attentive care and always make sure each dog gets the affection, playtime, and structure they need. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry loved one feels safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. 🐾💛

Ratings and reviews
This was the first time I used Mary to take care of our cat (Charley) and she will now be my go-to kitty sitter! She not only did she go above and beyond tending to our spoiled cat’s routines, but she took the time to take photos and videos of Charley during her daily visits and sent them to me! Thank you, Mary!
Mary and Coco Chanel took wonderful care of my golden doodle, Bette Midler! Bette had a great time and I received updates and pictures throughout her stay!
Mary Lou is great with my cat Blondie, I always leave feeling confident that she is in good hands. I have a high maintenance cat and she meets every need! I definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Mary took great care of our pups. One of ours even acted out a little bit but she stayed patient with her. I would definitely recommend her for pet care.
Mary Lou has been taking care of my dogs for many years, and I can honestly say she’s one of a kind. Over time, she’s cared for several of my pups, each with their own personalities and needs, and she’s treated every single one of them with genuine love and attention. She has a natural way with animals — calm, patient, and caring. My dogs are always happy to see her, and I can tell they feel completely comfortable and safe in her care. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and kind-hearted. I trust Mary Lou completely. Knowing she’s looking after my dogs gives me total peace of mind whenever I have to be away. She’s not just a great sitter — she’s truly special.
I honestly don’t know what I would do without Mary Lou! She takes such incredible care of my dogs, Rosie and Lula, and loves them as if they were her own. From the moment they see her, their tails start wagging nonstop — they absolutely adore her! Mary Lou goes above and beyond every single time. She pampers them with affection, keeps them on their routines, and makes sure they feel completely at home. I never have to worry when I travel because I know my girls are in the best possible hands — cared for with so much love, attention, and kindness. She’s truly one of a kind — reliable, compassionate, and full of warmth. Knowing Rosie and Lula are safe and happy with her gives me complete peace of mind. Mary Lou is more than a sitter — she’s family. ❤️🐾

Schedule
As a retired animal lover, I’m fortunate to have the time and flexibility to dedicate my days to caring for pets. My schedule revolves around making sure the animals I look after are happy, comfortable, and well cared for — never the other way around. Because I’m home most of the day, I can provide plenty of personal attention, consistent routines, and companionship. Morning walks, playtime in the yard, and quiet cuddle moments are a regular part of my day. I also enjoy keeping a calm, peaceful environment that helps pets feel relaxed and at ease, especially those who might be anxious or adjusting to a new space. Being retired also means I’m never rushed — I can take the time each pet deserves. Whether it’s giving a senior dog extra care, keeping up with an energetic pup, or spending quality time with a cat who loves company, pet care isn’t just part of my day — it’s what brings joy and purpose to it. 🐾❤️
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet in my home with love, patience, and attention, just as I would my own. Animals are never just guests — they become part of the family while they’re here. My home has a nice yard fenced yard with a covered patio, perfect for playtime, lounging, or a little sunbathing for dogs who enjoy soaking up the sun. I always keep a close eye on them to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Inside, pets stay with me at all times — they’re never left alone or kept apart. Whether we’re relaxing in the living room, playing, or simply enjoying quiet time together, they’ll always have company and care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and right at home from the moment they arrive. 🐾❤️

A typical day
We will sit in the outdoor covered patio so they can sun bathe and enjoy the yard. I can walk them if that is an activity they love, and play with them. I wil give them a lot of love
