Where Every Paw Feels at Home

Hi there! I have been caring for animals since a very young age. Growing up, we always had at least 2 dogs and raised litters of puppies at times. I had a sweet boy of my own (Nixon, in my profile photo) who I raised from a pup, but sadly passed away this year. I am an active person and love caring for animals, taking them for ample walks and pup cups, or just good company! Having a pet by my side is natural for me and would love to care for yours!

Mary was an awesome pup sitter! She gave our Ollie lots of love and walks, sent plenty of photos, and was a great communicator while we were away. I highly recommend her!

Mary Kate was awesome! Drop off and pick up were smooth and easy. She cared for my 14 year old pup without any issues and sent lots of pictures while we were away. She made him feel like he was on vacation. He very much enjoyed himself.

I can’t recommend Mary enough! She is one of the most reliable and professional people I know, and it absolutely shows in how she cares for dogs. Mary grew up with many dogs herself, so she truly understands what pets need.. not just the basics like food and walks, but also love, patience, and attention. You can count on her to treat your pet like her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring, Mary's your gal!

Mary is an AMAZING pet caregiver. I own a dog training company in MD, and have trusted her with my own dogs, as well as referring her to several of my clients for take-home & in-home pet care over recent years. Mary is always promptly on time for any service she offers, trustworthy, and truly loves pets as if they’re her own! I highly recommend booking with her - your pets will have the best time & you can have complete peace of mind while you’re out of town.

MaryKate has a special connection with all types of animals. She loves them and takes care of them as if they were her own. She has proven that by the way she took care of our family dogs. She provided exercise and love to them. It was great keeping them in their own environment. She was prompt and dependable. You won’t be disappointed to have her care for your family pet.

Mary Kate is a dogs best friend! She truly wants all pups to not only be taken care of, but she also makes sure they’re happy and having fun! She incorporates pups into all her activities whether it be walking to the coffee shop, watching a great sunrise, or hanging on the couch. Your dog will be in great hands and on their own vacation

Safety, trust & environment

We have a townhome in Eastport which is a very walkable area and there is a backyard of green space for easy access potty breaks. Always will be leashed. I previously had a husky that wasn’t trusted off leash so I am overly cautious on that! Pets are allowed on furniture/ beds if owners allow. We have several decks if they like to look out and the boat action or sunbathe!
