Pet care experience
*My services are currently limited to clients in these areas: near L train; near B103; near B17; Manhattan; Canarise* I have been providing dog walking and petsitting services on an occasional basis for the past 20 years. Some of my past clients include the director of Farm Sanctuary, the director of Almost Home Animal Rescue & Adoption, and "the voice of west coast hip hop". I am currently a volunteer dog walker at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center (municipal shelter). Up until losing their battle with cancer in 2013, I was the pet parent of 2 wonderful large dogs, both of whom I found on the street. My combined personal, professional, and shelter experience has allowed me to care for a wide variety of dogs who vary greatly in terms of size, strength, exercise needs, leash manners, health status, behavioral issues, age, and personality. I look forward to providing your dog, cat or rabbit with care that meets their exercise needs and emotional needs to the fullest extent. As of September 2023, I can only accept requests from locations that are easily accessible from the L train, B103, B17 or within Canarsie.
Reviews
Mary is very kind, thoughtful and always thinking of her clients. She provides expert advice on pet care and accessories. She brought my shy cats some cute Halloween-y toys and they really loved them. They’ve been running around with them! She also brought them the cutest lifted feeders bc my girl cat regurgitates sometimes. Mary is always very quick to respond and communicative. She is very patient when I get anxiety when I’m gone. We love Mary so much!!!
We love Mary! She’s always thoughtful and considerate. I get very anxious about being away and Mary always makes me feel better because she takes such good care of my cats! She always takes extra care with my shy pets and has the best recommendations for all pet accessories!
This was my first experience with a cat sitter and Mary was great. I was very nervous but she has a lot of experience including volunteering at an animal shelter. She came for a run-through and followed all the instructions including feeding the fish. I hope she’ll be our regular cat sitter.
Mary is the kindest and most caring. She takes such good care of my babies and we love her!
