Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, flexible sitter
I am an elementary school counselor, so I am very flexible during the summer months!!!! I absolutely love animals! I have worked for many families to provide care and I really do enjoy it. I understand that your dogs are family and I will treat them that way while they are in my care! I am a great communicator and I will provide updates as often as requested. And don’t worry, I’ll be sure to include cute pictures! I am comfortable caring for multiple dogs at a time and feel confident in making sure they are each receiving proper care and love. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!!

I offer drop in visits and walks! Whatever is most needed and convenient for your schedule! I take notes as I get to know families so I can best serve you.
Ratings and reviews
Mary Kristin watched my senior dog who has mobility issues and was great! He has limited mobility in his back legs and storm anxiety and she made sure he went out and was comfortable throughout her stay with him! Would definitely recommend for anyone’s fur baby!
Mary Kristin was amazing! My dog Ducky loved her, and it’s the first time I’ve come back into town after having a dog sitter, and could really tell that he was happy, well loved and well taken care of. She is an absolute treasure!!
Mary Kristin was easy to work with, responsive and polite. She house sat for me for 10 days, watching my dog and two cats. I prefer more communication and detailed updates while I was gone than she provided, but she sent me a few photos and responded when I reached out. Upon return, my home was tidy and my pets seem fine, however I noticed that some of my specific pet care instructions, such as regular litter box maintenance, replenishing cat food and water bowls, and consistently providing my dog's specialized food topper were not fully followed as requested in my detailed instructions. I appreciate her responsiveness to my messages and that my home was well-maintained. For future bookings, I will communicate and set better expectations beforehand that I prefer more detailed updates and following more closely to my outlined pet care.
Mary Kristin was great with our pups. She sent us photos and updates frequently and we could tell our dogs were happy. Will definitely use her again!
Mary Kristin was very trustworthy and did excellent with our dog Blue 🐾 I would highly recommend her for any drop-in visits!!
Mary Kristin was great with Bear and Pepper. Pepper is a bit anxious and barks at strangers. It takes her a while to warm up, but Mary Kristin was very patient. She did a wonderful job, punctual for all three drop in per day. I would definitely have Mary Kristin sit for them again.
