Pet care experience

Fun energetic pet-sitter

I have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I've always had cats of my own. I have cared for many of my friends’ pets while they are away. For many years I had friends for whom I used to dog-sit and cat-sit in their home. They had two cats and two dogs--medium size, collie mix and lab mix, dogs. I have experience walking the dogs, feeding, taking to vet appointments. I have experience walking and caring for my in-laws dogs (golden retrievers and springer spaniels). I am energetic and love playing with cats and dogs.

Ruthie had another week long stay with Mary. Took excellent care of her and Ruthie really enjoyed her squirrel hunting adventures in Petworth 😀

Mary was great taking care of my cat. She left me daily notes on how my cat was doing. She was super easy to work with.

I loved working with Mary!! Our cat Snowball stayed with her while we were on a trip and she had a great time. Mary is a true professional and prior to the booking we spoke on the phone and discussed Snowball’s needs and her daily routine. Mary has a very kind personality and is warm. I felt at ease during Snowball’s entire stay. Mary would send photos and let me know Snowball was doing. I would highly recommend Mary and wish to use her in the future if I am ever out of town and in need for cat boarding services.

Mary was an absolutely fabulous sitter! She took excellent care of our home and our two dogs, Willow & Olive. She sent daily texts with photos—we always had a great pulse on how things were going with them. We could tell they were having a great time with Mary! When we returned, the house was very clean and tidy; she even washed and changed the sheets, which we really appreciated after a full day of traveling. Overall, Mary was terrific! We would absolutely recommend her to others. We (and the dogs!) are looking forward to her sitting for us again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard, though note there are a flight of stairs to get down to the backyard. It is small with some bushes and trees and a paved patio. I enjoy walking (as many times as needed per day) and there many grassy areas near by. I don’t have an issue with dogs in the sofa or beds.
