🐶🐢 Flexible Animal Caregiver 🦜🐰
Pet care experience
Lover of animals. Experienced with many breeds, ages, and special needs. I'm the owner of a Siamese cat who does tricks like high-fives and even going for walks on his harness. I also have two attention-loving, obedient pit/lab/springer mixes. I've cared for chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish and turtles as well. I have experience working at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, have worked on a farm, and have had many pet-sitting gigs. I get much joy from spending time with animals but am also very receptive to their needs. I am the perfect sitter whether it be for the needy, rambunctious pet or the skiddish, please-make-sure-they-eat type of pet. I have experience in birthing and bottle feeding kittens/puppies, caring for senior dogs, training puppies/cats, administering shots and much more. I'm responsible and a quick learner should your pet have special care instructions. When doing business with me you will find that I am super friendly, receptive and hope to take care of your furry one by matching the level of care, detail-orientation, and respect that you need! Whether you're looking for a sitter to just check in, play and cover potty needs or you're looking for a full-time house sitter and pet supervisor, I am your girl!
Reviews
Mary jo is an angel. Over this past winter I was house hunting and desperately needed an extra hand with my 4 cats. She was exceptional!! She went above and beyond. While cat sitting, it turned out that one of my cats was pregnant, making it altogether 7 cats. Not only did she help with labor and delivery, and newborn kittens, she also helped me with getting everyone spayed and neutered and post surgery care. And on top of that the momma cat, lulu, needed extra post surgery care with antibiotics and staples. Mary Jo truly helped so much. I still can’t believe people like her exist, where they care not just for the task at hand but for the people and pets as well. She is different and I am so glad I found her.
Mary Jo did a great job looking after Blue, my aging Blue Tick Coon Hound while I was away in Florida. She made sure he got his meds on time which I was a bit worried about and she even got the ole boy out for some walks. I loved seeing how much Blue had taken a liking to her when I got back! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Thanks MJ!
Mary Jo was an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my dog Scout & my cat Jax when we went on vacation and they loved her. She took our dog on so many walks & played fetch with him and even watered our plants while we were out of town. 10/10 recommend Mary Jo as a pet sitter!
