Kind, Reliable, Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have been taking care of dogs & cats since I was little. As an adult, I have lived with numerous cats & dogs that I have had the honor of caring for while their parents went on trips out of town for days to weeks! I currently have two rescue dogs with my partner - a 45lb bossy-cuddler named Luanne and a 77lb sweet, shy girlie named Sheeba!

Superb! The dogs and cat loved her and she seems to love them back. Such a relief to find someone so responsible and capable.

Mary Jean provided exceptional care to our sensitive rescue mix. We were scrambling to find someone who could house sit on short notice when we reached out to MJ, who responded promptly and professionally. She communicated regularly over the weekend with updates, both texts and photos--our pup clearly had a great time with her and our house was in amazing shape when we arrived home. I highly, highly recommend!!

Mary Jean is an excellent dog sitter! She clearly loves dogs and takes great care of them. She was very communicative throughout her entire stay. And she followed our instructions exactly. I definitely would recommend Mary Jean as a dog sitter.

A typical day

I love going on nature walks with dogs (the Northampton trail along with Mills River is amazing) and dog parks if approved by you (South Hadley has lots of fun visitors and smells)! I play tug of war and fetch and am happy to set up treat puzzle toys for the doggos to work out! With cats I love to play with the feather toys and watch them hunt it - the stalk and the frantic chase!
