Responsible, active PhD student

Pet care experience

I am a PhD student at Johns Hopkins who loves all types of animals! I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, fish, various reptiles, and hedgehogs. My apartment complex doesn't allow dogs, so I would love to watch your pet while you are away! I've been dog-sitting through dog vacay/rover for over 4 years and I adore getting to know new critters and making connections with all sorts of animals. My schedule at school is very flexible, so I will be able to check on your pet frequently, and take them on as many walks or potty breaks as needed. I love taking pups to the dog park and playing fetch. I also volunteer at the National Aquarium so I have lots of experience caring for various reptiles and amphibians. I look forward to getting to know new people and pets in Baltimore!

Mary was great! She was able to help us out last minute and all 3 of our fur babies loved her! We’ll definitely use her again for housesitting.

Mary was wonderful with our pup!!! Unfortunately, our dog was sick while we were away, but Mary nursed her back to health, cleaned up any mess, and kept me updated on her progress. She came back for an extra walk when our flights were delayed at a moments notice! Very reliable and an exceptional dog sitter!! Would hire again in a heartbeat!

Unfortunately we had several issues with Mary. I'll start off by saying that Mary was able to accommodate a last minute request for an extra night of house sitting. We were thrilled and grateful. However, we had several issues during the time Mary house sat for our 2 year old chocolate lab. (1) We have cameras throughout our house. We told Mary ahead of time that she should feel free to turn off the camera in the bedroom. We use the cameras to peek at our dog during the day and to make sure the house is secure (we have a cleaning service and maintenance people in and out of our condo). Upon initial arrival Mary turned off the camera in our kitchen, and subsequently the cameras in our dinning area and living room. I understand not everyone is comfortable with cameras, but we have them for just this type of situation. A new person in our home. (2) Before Mary flipped down all the cameras we saw that she had a male companion spend the night with her. We have had other dog sitters ask ahead of time if their boyfriend could spend the night, and we always said that was fine. However, we did not appreciate her brining people into the condo without asking first. (3) We left a detailed scheduled for Mary, which was not followed. She was gone every day and didn't return to walk/feed Kooper until 7pm or later. (4) Finally, upon our return we found the kitchen a mess, some sort of jam stuck on the counter, grease on the stove, and our food (beer, soda, snacks) eaten. I can see how Mary would do well with people that were maybe less ridged about their home, but she was not a good fit for us.

Mary was amazing with our very anxious, very needy greyhound rescue during an extended overseas vacation. She had excellent communication with us during the stay. She demonstrated incredible patience with Sizzle. She is also the first person, including friends and family who are familiar with Sizzle, who has ever gotten her to eat regularly while we are away. She took great care of the house as well. I would recommend her without hesitation.
