Experienced/Reliable Pet Sitter 🐾

Hi there! Please review availability before booking — thank you! Availability: Monday and Thursday: Anytime after 5pm / Possibly early mornings depending on location before 8am (I work remotely on said days, so it would depend on where you are located !) Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: After 5:30 (I travel from Danbury, CT, depends on location :) !) Saturday and Sunday: Usually available early mornings and evenings - I work part time near by marked location, please reach out to discuss ! Feel free to message me with any questions or to check my availability for house sitting! 😊 I've been a devoted dog owner and caregiver since 2015, and I currently have a 1.5-year-old cat who I've raised since she was a kitten — so I’m confident caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. As the oldest in a big family of eight, I’ve always been the go to person for care, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’ve also house sat for long term clients who trust me with their high value homes and beloved pets — a responsibility I take very seriously. What sets me apart? I offer compassionate, experienced care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I work full time, but during my open hours I’m fully present and committed to giving your pet the love, structure, and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

In the client's home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved pet. My approach begins with open communication, where I discuss your pet's specific needs and routines. During visits, I ensure your pet's well-being by adhering to their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. I maintain a clean and organized space, keeping food and water bowls fresh and litter boxes clean. Moreover, I provide companionship and love, so your pet never feels lonely or stressed during your absence. Regular updates and photos are also part of my service to keep you informed and reassured that your furry family member is in good hands. Lastly, I adapt to any special requests or medical requirements your pet may have, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout my visits. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as relaxed and content as possible in their own home.

Mary-Kate gave my family and I a wonderful, but most importantly secure experience. From the first phone call, to the first in person meet, she radiated such a trustworthy and loving way of being. Have one conversation with her, and you will know exactly what I am referring to. Apart from her trustworthy and courteous nature, she is amazingly punctual and reliable. A true professional, Mary will always answer phone calls and texts, is more than willing to work with different schedules and takes an obvious but respectful pride in her work. I would and have recommended her caregiving abilities to my friends and family, and anyone that knows me knows I would never recommend something that is not top notch! I highly recommend this caregiver to anyone seeking a polite and sincere young woman to help out with our furry friends.

Although I work full-time, I have flexible hours outside of my job to dedicate to your beloved pets. Whether it's a walk in the morning, playtime during the day, evening companionship, or more, I'm here to accommodate your pup's schedule. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I'm excited to provide them with the care and attention they deserve.

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to get some key details. Please share their name, breed, age, and size, along with any dietary restrictions or allergies. It’s also helpful to know their temperament, energy level, and any unique behaviors. I’d appreciate information about their daily routine, including feeding and exercise habits, and any favorite walking spots. For emergencies, I’ll need your contact info and your vet's details. If your pet has any specific house rules or preferences, please let me know. Rest assured, your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities. :)
