Pet care experience

Animal Lover Since Day 1

I grew up with dogs, currently own two cats, and had a bearded dragon for almost a decade! I even worked at a local animal shelter for two years, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have experience with senior animals, especially administering any special medications including injectable medicines, as my own cat has diabetes and receives insulin shots twice a day.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

It really depends on the animal and what they need to feel comfortable! I go into every pet interaction knowing that I’m on that animal’s turf and I need to get to know them before expecting them to be happy/comfortable with me.

Mary did a great job taking care of my cats. I really appreciated the daily reports and the many phots she sent every day. I highly recommend her

Mary was absolutely exceptional with my cat Athena, who doesn’t warm up to new friends easily or quickly! By the end of their time together, Athena was showing her belly. This a true testament to the trust and comfort Mary’s presence gave her. Mary was a great communicator and I always got numerous cute photos and a detailed update. I would definitely recommend Mary to other pet parents!

What great care! Mary had the experience with giving cats insulin that just gave me so much comfort being away. All the cats seemed so happy in their photos.

Mary Beth is amazing with my little disabled dog! She even handles her diapers - which is so invaluable. Thank you, MB!!

I’m a journalist in the horror entertainment field, my work schedule is incredibly flexible, which lets me stop by and check on your pets whenever you need. There’s no better excuse for getting away from a screen than walking a dog or hanging out with a cat!

I’m comfortable with all size dogs but I do like to know if a dog is reactive to people, dogs, other animals, etc so I know how to best ensure their walk/care is as stress-free as possible.
