Reliable Cat & Dog Sitter
Your pets' comfort and safety are my top priorities! 🌿 My Experience 3 years of senior cat care: Medication (oral syringes, ear treatments), feeding, litter care, and playtime. Dog care expertise: Frequent care for a golden retriever (walks, feeding, playtime) and experience giving oral meds to dogs. Holiday pet sitting: Cared for solo pets during Christmas and weekends, ensuring they felt loved. Lifelong animal lover: From childhood pets to adult care, I understand animal needs deeply. 💖 What I Offer For cats: Home visits or overnight stays with feeding, litter cleaning, brushing, playtime, and medication. For dogs: Walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and oral medication administration. Extras: Grooming, plant watering, mail collection, and daily photo updates. Emergency-ready: Transport to vet appointments if needed. 😻 My Approach Cats: I adapt to their personality—playful, shy, or senior—and respect their boundaries. Trust is earned through patience. Dogs: I provide energetic walks for active pups or gentle companionship for older dogs, always following their routine. Why Owners Trust Me Pets thrive on consistency and care. Whether it's earning a cat's trust with slow blinks or keeping a dog's tail wagging with engaging walks, I prioritize their happiness and well-being.

Ratings and reviews
Mary was a great sitter to our dog and cat while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures and cared for our girls. Our house was left in perfect condition when we returned. We would rebook with Mary again in the future!
I had a great experience with Mary for an overnight stay to care for my 9 year old puppy. She was excellent to communicate with, had prompt response time both at initial booking request as well as throughout the visit. Mary sent regular photo updates, and took my dog out for a lot of outdoor time in the short time she was caring for her. Additionally, she left my home exactly as I had left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Mary again if ever I needed puppy care. :)
Mary was punctual, communicative, and followed all our directions carefully. One of our cats is still a bit stressed from our recent move, but she was patient and eventually won her over a bit. Our braver cat immediately took to her—she clearly enjoys her company and playtime. We really appreciate the care she provided and look forward to hiring her again next time. Thank you, Mary!
Don’t hesitate to book Mary! We appreciate Mary so much for our senior, senile old pup. It’s hard to leave a dog when they’re in their twilight years, but Mary is so patient, communicative and kind. I always feel so much better knowing that she’s keeping an eye on our pup and our home.
We recently had Mary look after our elderly pup Ricky, and I can’t recommend her enough! Our dog is quirky, senior, and needs a bit of extra patience and understanding — and Mary handled everything with such kindness and care. My husband and I moved to Midland last year and didn’t know anyone in the area who could look after Ricky, so finding Mary has been such a relief. She gave us total peace of mind while we were away, and we came home to a happy, calm dog and a tidy house. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful for house sitting or dog walking, don’t hesitate to book Mary. We’re so glad we found her! 🐾
Mary has watched my golden retriever, Newton, multiple times and has been absolutely fantastic! Knowing Mary had a family dog of her own for 14+ years I knew she was someone I could trust. Mary knows what it takes to care for a pet and I can't think of anyone I'd trust more to watch Newton!
