Availability

As a pet sitter, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of needs. I am available for drop-in visits, daily walks, and overnight care. I can also work with you to create a custom schedule that meets your specific needs. For example, if you work long hours, I can come to your house in the morning and evening to feed and walk your dog. If you are going out of town, I can stay overnight at your house to provide your pet with companionship and care. I am also available for last-minute bookings. If you need a pet sitter unexpectedly, I will do my best to accommodate you. Here is a specific example of how I can tailor my schedule to meet your needs: Client 1: Works full-time from home and has a dog that needs to be walked twice a day. I come to their house in the morning and afternoon to walk their dog for 30 minutes each time. Client 2: Travels frequently and has a cat that needs to be fed and cared for while they are away. I stay overnight at their house to provide their cat with companionship and care. Client 3: Has a parrot that needs to be fed and played with twice a day. I come to their house in the morning and evening to feed and play with their parrot for 30 minutes each time. I am committed to providing my clients with the flexibility they need to meet their pet sitting needs. I understand that every pet and pet owner is unique, and I will work with you to create a schedule that works for both of you. Please contact me today to discuss your pet sitting needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Mary is amazing! First time working together snd meeting pups. It was like a 3 ring circus here with the dogs on special diets and the lust of medications they were currently taking. She could have easily run in opposite direction but took us and the girls on last week with a calming presence, grace and humor. She went above and beyond taking great care of the dogs and even meeting chimney service because we had a squirrel squatter. We couldn’t have gotten thru last werk without Mary. After a very long day and travel delays we got home to the most thoughtful letter and surprise. We are so happy and blessed to have met Mary. She treated everyone and everything with care, love and respect. Book now…Mary is awesome! Forever grateful!
