Pet care experience

Reliable & loving pet care

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets and loved helping my aunt care for her dogs. Helping with feeding them, letting them outside, and even helping with bath time. 🐾❤️ At home, we always had both cats and dogs, including my mom’s beloved Persian cat, Winston, who lived to the remarkable age of 21. Today, I have an amazing dog of my own, Delilah (“Dilly”) is my snuggly sidekick who loves spending time with the family. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. My dog enjoys daily walks around the neighborhood or yard, plenty of playtime, lots of affection, and, of course, treats (with permission) Delilah aka Dilly is my shadow and she sleeps in her fluffy bed or right next to me. Having cared for dogs with different personalities, ages, and backgrounds, I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m happy to follow the routine that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Cooper says,” The Best!” 🐾🐾up I’m so glad our family found MK. She spoiled and loved our cooper so much while we were away. I never had to worry about his immediate care needs or his emotional needs while gone. The pup cups were a great touch ! I can’t wait to use Mary Katherine again. A great boy dog wrangler and fetch partner!

Even though Mary is my daughter, this review is completely honest. Dogs have always been part of our family. We grew up with them, and every aunt, uncle, grandparent, and my own home always had dogs. Mary has loved and cared for dogs her entire life, and it shows. I can travel with complete peace of mind knowing my two Norwich Terriers are in her care. They’re happy, well-loved, and treated like family. In fact, when I get home, they hardly seem to miss me—which tells me everything I need to know about the care they receive! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly devoted to your pets, I couldn’t recommend Mary more highly. Your dogs will be in excellent hands.
