Experienced, attentive, dependable
Pet care experience
Dogs have been a part of my life since the day my family adopted our first from a local shelter: a yellow Lab, Dolly. I was expected to play a part in Dolly's care, from feeding her, walking her, and–of course–cleaning up her messes. I've continued my passion for taking care of dogs with my family's current dog, a senior Dachshund named Odessa. My lifelong passion for dogs makes me a great sitter and walker for your canine friends. I also have experience catsitting and am available to care for your cats as well. I am able to accommodate any animal’s needs, as well as your schedule and needs. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you and taking care of your pets!
Reviews
Mary-Katherine was outstanding. We were a bit nervous to leave our dog Zucca with an app but Mary-Katherine was immediately very attentive and asked lots of questions as to her care. She sent daily updates and pictures as requested and was a perfect house guest. Would absolutely recommend.
Mary-Katherine took great care of Ginger, provided us with updates and pictures, and was very respectful of our house while staying there. Would definitely recommend her!
Mary-Katherine has the love and compassion for dogs that you hope for in someone watching over your pet. She has taken care of my dog, Hawkeye (80 lb Husky/Shepherd), on several occasions while I've been out of town. I couldn't have asked for a better experience each time and Hawkeye loves seeing her.

Information Mary-Katherine L. would like to know about your pet
Walk schedule; medical concerns (medications, allergies, special needs); activity level and preferences (how active is the dog, activities or games the dog likes, places the dog likes to go); dietary needs (allergies, foods/treats to avoid, feeding schedule); behavioral concerns (how best to interact with dog, how the dog fares around other dogs, children, and crowds); age; size; breed
A typical day
For dogs that enjoy socializing with other dogs, I would love to take them to a nearby dog park or to Montrose Dog Beach. For less sociable dogs, a relaxing walk through their neighborhood or to a quiet, uncrowded park would be my ideal plans for outdoor time. I am always open and accommodating to whatever works best for each dog!
