Pet care experience

Loving cat care by lifelong owner🐱

Hi! I'm Mary Kate and have been lucky enough to have had cats since I was in second grade. I grew up with my two girls, Callie (Calico) and Kedzie (Tortie). We lost Callie a few years ago and we said goodbye to Kedzie at almost 19 years old in April 2024. I would consider myself lucky to take care of your kitty/kitties, as I know how much my cats meant (and still mean!) to me. I would take care of your baby like my own. My roommate is allergic to cats, so I'm not able to adopt right now. I miss my babies everyday, so I would love to spend time with your kitty/kitties and make it a win-win! I'm a full-time grad student and also work as a babysitter. I am typically available in the early mornings and from late afternoon onward on weekdays. Weekends are very flexible. I have a clean background check and consider myself to be reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented. I aim to give you peace of mind that your beloved pet is in the best hands!

The best of the best!! Mary Kate loves Betty like her own and it’s evident in her care for her. I also had a small issue with something in my apartment and Mary Kate was communicative, flexible, and a HUGE HELP to get it resolved!! Thank you so so so much as always :)

Mary Kate was amazing checking in on my two cats! Super sweet and the cats seemed to love her (even the shy one!). She was responsive and helpful, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Schedule

I am a full-time grad student and part time babysitter. I have a flexible schedule and can usually do AM and PM visits on weekdays, and anytime on weekends

Cats
Mary Kate can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
If your cat is extra shy, I would love to know their typical hiding places / any treats they love! I've cared for cats that are more aggressive / feisty (which I don't mind!) but would just request a heads up.
