Caring, Trustworthy, Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Hey I am Mary Kate! I am a full-time nanny and I come from a big, animal loving family. I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, and even horses. I have been pet sitting and house sitting for several years and I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and playful environment for all animals that are in my care. I have volunteer experience at Lee County Humane society with dog walking and playing with cats, horse therapy for children with special needs, and fostering bunnies through Alabama Bunny Rescue. I am reliable and trust-worthy and treat all animals as if they were my own. Although my family pets do not live with me in my house, I still consider them just as much "my animals” and love keeping them whenever I can! My mom has a Havanese dog named Lola, who is the best little snuggle buddy and will do anything for a treat. She also has a fluffy ragdoll cat named Francesca, who is playful and sweet, and never misses a meal! My sister has a Boykin Spaniel named Harley, she is FULL of energy and still a puppy, but she is the sweetest and most playful dog who loves to go on walks, throw the ball, and explore anything and everything. My brother has a golden retriever mix named Ellie May who is the most easy-going and loving dog I have ever known. She loves riding in the car, going on walks, and taking up the ENTIRE bed. She is spoiled beyond measure! I am a compassionate, responsible, and honest person and I assure you that your pets will be well taken care of with me! I am more than happy to share my resume along with a list of references, upon request!

Mary Kate was wonderful! This was my first time having someone watch my dog in our new city, and she put me at ease during a weekend away with updates and cute photos. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!

Mary Kate is so kind and trustworthy. We dropped Jewels off at her house for a few hours while we explored Birmingham - she even gave of recommendations of places to visit around the city. Her house was clean and cozy and we felt super comfortable right away. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend booking with Mary Kate!!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements while in my car. Main things I like to know is if they’re okay with children, other dogs/animals, and their feeding and sleeping schedule.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks, to the dog park, and any outdoor activities I may do while I’m pet sitting. My favorite spot to take dogs is homewood Central Park and the Red Mountain dog park!
