Loving Cat or Dog Sitter!!

I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly love what I do. While I specialize in small dogs, I’m comfortable with medium-sized pups too. I’ve cared for pets of all ages — from playful 10-week-old puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who just need gentle walks and extra attention. Every pet has their own personality, and I’m patient and experienced with animals that may be shy, energetic, or require special care (including medication administration or those who prefer being the only pet around). I love going on walks, playing fetch, visiting local parks, and spending quality time with pets so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. (Nature walks are my favorite too!) It’s truly a privilege to care for dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family soon! 🐶🐱

Safety, trust & environment

When I am at a clients home I treat their cat or dog with love, respect, guidance, and warmth. I approach pets for the first time slowly to give them a chance to sniff me or rub noses with me/check me out. Once I get to know the pet then I engage in play, cuddling and assuring talk.

Mary was so sweet and took great care of my puppy Nancy! She was polite and friendly - playful and patient with Nancy - clearly has a deep love for dogs. Will request her services again! Thanks Mary!

Mary watched my cats for over a week and did a wonderful job. One of our cats has very special needs, lots of medication and even needing liquid syringe feedings regularly. She was able to handle all of it and I could see how much she loved the animals. Thanks Mary!

Mary took care of my dogs for 4 days, watched them day and night,fed & walked them. Highly recommend her with your pups. She stayed at my home and followed all of my recommendations. Could not have asked for more and would do it again if I had to.

My dogs and I love Mary! She is always so fun and we’ve enjoyed many beach adventures with my pups. Mary is a sensitive, compassionate, animal lover, and always wants to see others happy. She will be amazing with your dog and take cute pictures to update you on her day with your dog.
