Highlights
Pet care experience
Ready to pamper your fur baby!
My experience with animals is life-long. 💕 I am that person who understands animals and knows how to give them the space and attention they need to feel safe and loved. I have personally owned cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, geckos, and birds. A little about me: I am active and love to go for walks here in Rapid City. If I’m at a party, I’m the person who is hanging out in the kitchen with the cat or the doggo. 💕

Boone loves staying with Mary! She gives me plenty of updates throughout the day, making it so I'm not worried at all. I know he's in great hands!

I am sooooo unbelievably blessed to have found Mary to watch my pup while I was passing through South Dakota! She sent me the cutest photos of Harley 🐕 living his best life at the park and she took him on so many different adventures! He was so excited to spend so much time with Mary and if I pass through South Dakota again I will absolutely be using her as his pet sitter! I 100000% think you need to book her services… she really cares about your dog and their happiness! ♥️

Mary did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Her communication was great and she also provided lots of pictures through out the day. Highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your pet!
Mary is an excellent cat sitter - extremely dependable, trustworthy and caring. I am grateful that when I need to be away I know my boy Charlie is well taken care of and I don’t have to worry.
Mary provided top-tier care for my cat at her home! She made the entire process seamless with incredibly easy drop-off and pick-up routines.While I was away, she was highly responsive to messages and regularly sent wonderful picture updates, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt safe, comfortable, and completely at home with her. I highly recommend Mary and will definitely book her again!

Mary is a caring, dependable, and trustworthy person who truly enjoys spending time with animals. She is attentive to each pet’s individual needs and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. I would feel completely comfortable leaving my own pets in her care and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am in a large modern apartment with big windows, lots of space to play, snooze, or just hang out with me while I work on my computer. I do not have any children or pets in my home. I am close to the Hotel Alex Johnson and the Hyatt Place hotel.
A typical day
While I’m working from home until 3:30pm I am able to give love and attention to your fur baby if they want it. Otherwise we will enjoy each others company in a safe calm space. I love to take photos and will gladly share those with you during their stay so you can be assured of their happiness and safety. Drop in visits for kitties will include: cleaning their dishes, refreshing their food and water, playtime, treat time and litter scooping. Free cuddles and photo shoots 😍 Happy to brush, administer oral meds, and just hang out if you would like. A typical drop in visit is 30 minutes, happy to stay up to 1 hour per visit - just ask.

- Let me know about your baby: their likes, dislikes, any behaviors I need to be aware of, favorite treats? Okay to brush them? Feel free to share if they love certain toys or have a routine such as feeding time, walk time, potty break times. I want your baby to be as comfortable as possible.
