I work from home full-time, which means I’m able to give your pet the constant attention, love, and care they may need throughout the day. My heart dog, a sweet black German Shepherd, absolutely loves having company, and that’s one of the main reasons I began pet sitting, she enjoys the extra companionship as much as I do! Combined with my lifelong love of animals, opening my home to other pets feels natural and rewarding. Here, your pet will be cared for like family, with plenty of play, affection, and companionship.

In my home, pets are truly part of the family. Since I work from home full-time, your pet will enjoy constant love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fenced yard that gives pups a safe space to play and explore, along with plenty of indoor snuggles and downtime.

Information Mary K. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routines, any special needs, health concerns, or quirks in their personality. I’d also love to know what makes them happiest, favorite toys, treats, or comfort items, so I can make their time with me feel just like home.

A typical day

I love going on walks, playing fetch, and giving lots of cuddles! Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a cozy snuggle, I’ll make sure they feel happy, loved, and entertained.

Work-from-Home Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’ve spent over 20 years caring for animals and I truly can’t imagine life without them. I work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My two kids (with me half the time) are gentle and animal-loving, our recently adopted cat Lenny, and our sweet black German Shepherd is always excited to welcome new friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or simply sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel right at home. Two things to note: 1) I work from home and more than happy to pet sit during the week but due to my professional career, I am frequently on conference calls. That said, the pup needs to be on the moderate energy side and not a chronic barker. Exceptions are if someone is at the door and/or if they are signaling a need of course. 2) I’m only accepting pups who are well acquainted with cats as I recently adopted a cat and need to ensure its safety and well-being.

Mary was great with our high-anxiety pooch. She provided constant updates during the stay and made sure she felt at home.

Mary took great care of Lady while we went to an anime convention over the weekend! She gave her treats and walks and sent us photos each day! Mary let us know Lady did a great job and when we got Lady home she quickly adjusted back to our routine instantly. We will absolutely use Mary again for future convention trips if she's available!!

Mary was amazing with my pups! They had a great time! She sent updates throughout the week to let me know how they were doing. Would totally recommend her! I will definitely use her again!
