Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently not working elsewhere, which allows for a very flexible schedule! I’m able to do frequent drop-ins, extended visits, or stay with your pup as needed to keep them on their normal routine and give them consistent care and attention. I’m not able to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to provide care in the comfort of their own environment where they feel most secure!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, all care is provided in the client’s home where pets are most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs, and I can also take them on walks as often as needed. I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and tailored to each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, make sure they get plenty of attention and enrichment, and always respect the home as if it were my own!

Information Mary Poyner Y. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

A typical day with me is relaxed, playful, and centered around keeping your pets happy and comfortable—I follow their usual routine, start the morning with breakfast and a nice walk, add in plenty of attention, affection, and fun throughout the day, and make sure they always feel engaged and cared for. I love spending time doing interactive play, giving them lots of companionship, and matching their energy whether they’re excited and playful or more mellow and cuddly. By evening, we settle in with another walk, dinner, and some cozy downtime so they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so caring for animals has been a steady part of my life for a long time. Through Paws4People and an Assistance Dog Training minor, I’ve gained experience working with dogs of different temperaments and learning how to support good behavior and calm handling. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler routine, and I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away!

I highly recommend MP as a pet sitter/walker! She took great care of my dogs and consistently demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for animals. She was responsive when I reached out to her and kept me updated with photos of my pets when I asked. She is a trustworthy petsitter!
