Mary Katherine did an incredible job sitting for Puddles. As a med school student, she went into vet mode to take care of Puddles with his medication and shots. I trusted her with giving him his pills and insulin shots 2 times a day. I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of Puddles while I was away because he is a handful! =)

Mary did a great job of tiring Bailey out before a long flight! She took him to his favorite park and played catch with him and showed up promptly and dropped him off at the door. Thank you so much Mary!!

Mary Katherine is my go-to for walking my dog. She is very attentive and you can tell she truly cares about your pet. I think sometimes my dog likes her more than me!

Mary Katherine has watched my dog a handful of times and he absolutely loves her! He is always so excited to see her and I know that he is in the best care possible when with her. Highly recommend!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a medical student that is currently studying for boards, so my days are pretty wide open! Optimally, I would love to drop-in during the mornings & later at night, but I am also more than open to afternoon visits if that is what your fur baby is most accustomed to

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 cats at home that thrive on routine. They stick to a feeding routine, and we have 20 minutes of play time at night to help get their energy out. We love to cuddle during the day and my youngest cat, Winnie, was taught to play fetch! When I am caring for others’ pets, I like to stick to the routine that the owners have for them. Whether that is daily play, feeding, or walks, I want to make pets feel stability when their parents aren’t home

Pets

A typical day

I love to provide stimulation during my drop-in visits. This usually consists of going on walks where they can experience new sights and smells and a dog park if the pet mom/dad wants them to socialize with other dogs, or playing fetch in the backyard. If I am with cats, I love to play and make sure they are mentally stimulated. All of my activities include pictures to mom/dad!

Please let me know if your dog or cat is sensitive towards certain sounds, sights, etc. I want to make sure I do not put your baby in a stressful situation at any point and we can enjoy our time together
