I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in creating individualized care plans that honor each animal’s personality, needs, and routine. My natural affinity with animals stems from my kind yet assertive approach, which helps pets feel secure and comfortable in my care.

Reliable & Passionate Pet Caretaker

Pet care experience

As a devoted pet parent for many years, I recently said goodbye to my cherished 16-year-old Terrier Pitbull mix, Maple. While I heal from this loss, I find comfort and purpose in sharing my love with other pets, knowing firsthand how precious these family members are to their owners. My home recently welcomed a sweet, 2.5-year-old, 45 lbs, female Husky Shepherd mix. She is a fear dog who is currently learning to trust the world, and she absolutely thrives being around confident, friendly dogs of all sizes. If your dog is a stable, well-socialized companion, they would be an ideal guest! Boarding with me provides your furry friend with a great playmate, and your dog’s confident presence will do a huge service by helping my foster learn positive social cues and build trust. I require a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable.

This was our second time leaving our dog, Bruce, with Mary Kate. Both times she has gone above and beyond. She sent amazing pictures and I know Bruce felt very comfortable with her!

This was the first time I had ever had to find a dog sitter. I was pretty nervous as my 3 pups can be a lot of work. Mary Kate went above and beyond! She sent me photos and kept me updated! She spent a significant amount of time playing with my pups and taking them on extra long walks! I can’t say enough how grateful I was to know they were in good hands!

Mary Kate went above and beyond when watching our dog at her house. Our dog is a new rescue who has only been with us for 4 months. He has also been undergoing heartworm treatment. Mary Kate made every accommodation necessary for him and had so much patience. She even put in some hard work training our pup during his stay! I absolutely trust her and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Mary Kate was an absolute gem watching over my two dogs. She was great about sending photos and updates as we were gone to see family in another state. I searched for a sitter a bit late and was worried if I could find someone but she came in to save the day and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend her!
