Follow the Paw Prints to my ❤️

Growing up in a "Big Cat" Zookeeper's loving family taught me how to love and respect our furry sweethearts! It's so hard who to know you can trust your babies with, but your gut instinct should guide you. Most importantly, we all know to read our pets response to the caregiver you choose. I am always just as excited and goofy to see and love them, as they are to see me! You're invited to meet my family, home, and of course my pets, so you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they will be so loved and safe with me, as well as my retired Police Officer husband and Sweet, 90yo retired Zookeeper Dad who lives with us on our 5 acres. Your pups are welcome to come play here too. My grown sons are an awesome Paramedic and Christian Mech. Engineer who like all of us in our clan of 20 Extended members, adore all animals!

House Sitting • März 06, 2025

I was very happy to have found Mary. She is fun, loving toward our animals, and conscientious. We felt comfortable leaving our two pups and three kitties with her for nine nights! In addition to taking care of our fur babies, she also took care of the wild birds and squirrels, who I try to keep fed in the winter. We also came home to a very clean home, which is nice after a long trip. I highly recommend Mary. All our animals instantly connected with her, even our very shy cats. Thank you again!

Mary is the BEST dog sitter! I know when she is here my dogs are getting treated like they are on a vacation as well. She is thoughtful and incredibly considerate. Our dogs love Mary!

Mary went above and beyond during her stay with our 2 dogs and cats. Will definitely call on her again for future stays. She communicated well and I could tell our dogs were not bored while she was here.

Mary is a very conscientious and reliable person who absolutely loves dogs, cats and all animals. She is very trustworthy and has a great attitude. You couldn’t hire a better person to care for your pets!

Good morning, to whom it may concern, my name is Adrienne Flaherty and I am a coworker of Mary Krisher for a few years now. Mary has talked to me about branching into pet sitting and after many conversations regarding her father's dog, and conversations in general about animals and pets Mary would be an incredible, loving, and dependable pet caregiver. She shows great compassion for our 4 legged companions and pet owners would be lucky to have Mary take care of their pets. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary as a responsible and loving pet caregiver and Rover would be lucky to use her services. Regards, Adrienne Flaherty
