Pet care experience

Cat lover expert!

I've been a dedicated cat lover my entire life, with years of hands-on experience caring for our feline friends. My passion for cats has led me to understand their unique needs, whether they're a playful kitten or a senior in need of extra attention. I'm especially skilled in providing a high level of care for cats with special needs, including administering medications and creating a calming environment for shy or nervous kitties. My time volunteering at animal shelters has shown me that every cat has a story, and I take pride in getting to know each one personally, building a bond based on trust and respect. A lot of people think cats are perfectly happy being left alone, and while they're certainly independent, many cats absolutely adore human connection! They're social little creatures who thrive on interaction. When you choose me, your cat will get all the good stuff: regular feedings, precise medication if needed, plenty of loving head rubs, and a clean litter box. It's all about making sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe cats are happiest in their own familiar surroundings, which is why I specialize in providing attentive care right in your home. This minimizes stress for your feline friend, allowing them to stick to their routine in the comfort of their own space. During my visits, I'll ensure your cat is fed, has fresh water, and a clean litter box. More importantly, I'll provide plenty of personalized attention, playtime, and soothing head rubs – because even independent cats love human connection! If your cat requires medication, you can trust that I'll administer it calmly and accurately. I'll also bring in your mail, water plants, and ensure your home looks lived-in for added security. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat and home are in excellent hands.

Highly recommend Mary to take care of your cat family members. She is responsive and provides great updates and photos. Our cats are spicy and apprehensive and she interacted with them well. Her updates gave me peace of mind while our human family members went on vacation. If we need someone to take care of our cats, I would totally reach out to Mary first. 🙂

Mary was great with my cat. He really liked her. She kept up with all the things he liked to do during the day. Made sure he was happy everyday.

We hired Mary again and she did such a wonderful job with our rabbit. Her notes, photos, and attention mean so much to us as pet parents when we are away. We would happily recommend her any time.

Schedule

Currently I’m working part time for a nonprofit a few hours a day but I am available most of the day thanks to a flexible, remote schedule! My love of animals is my full time work! If I was unavailable to you in the past, please know that I can now do multiple drop ins a day for your babies! It’s not something I just fit into my schedule—it is my schedule, and I honestly love that!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Mary can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
I always love getting to know each pet’s unique personality before I start caring for them! It helps a lot to know their daily routine—when they eat, go for walks, nap, or play—as well as their favorite toys, treats, and little quirks. I also like to know how they feel about other animals, new people, and anything that might make them nervous or extra happy. The more I know about them, the easier it is for me to keep their tails wagging and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
