The Joy They Bring Is Amazing!

Loving, Reliable Pet Care Right In Your Backyard! Hi - I am a part-time local pet sitter who truly understands that pets are family. I am here to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, overnight (at your house) sitting, and can care for dogs, cats, and some birds. My goal is simple: keep your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible and to give you peace of mind. When you book with me, you can expect: -Plenty of love and attention (belly rubs included!) -Photo updates -Recap notes on how they did -I can administer oral meds if needed -Clean food and water bowls, tity litter boxes, and refreshed spaces I will always schedule a meet-and-greet first so I can learn about you, your pet's personality and preferences, and complete a profile for my records. I take reliability seriously and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members!

Mary did a wonderful job with our dog. She communicated well, reliable, and gave lots of love to our dog. We will definitely use her again.

Mary is amazing! I can’t recommend her enough! She looked after my dog for a week and her service exceeded my expectations. It was so comforting knowing Mary was caring for my dog while I was away. She is reliable, professional, and provides excellent pet care!

Mary is an absolute lifesaver! She's trustworthy, attentive, and great with our dog. He has bad separation anxiety, but feels very comfortable with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their dog!

I have known Mary for over 15 years. She is incredibly loyal and sincere. She is extremely passionate when it comes to animals and has always been there for me when I’ve needed someone to help out caring for one of our pets. She is extremely dependable and always willing to help. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Mary.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, sensitivities, or triggers I should be aware of. If there are specific routines to follow, areas of your home that are off-limits, or anything else that helps keep your pet comfortable and safe, I’m happy to accommodate. At the time of booking and during our pre-meet, I will have you complete a pet information form to keep on file so I can provide the best possible care.
