Pet care experience

Great or small, all pets are loved.

I have taken care of my own dogs and cats for over 30 years. Friends and family have entrusted me with their fur babies innumerable times. I have worked at a kennel for 5 years. Walking, playing and cleaning up after cats and dogs is what I do.

Safety, trust & environment

For walks I offer pics after walks to show a happy, tired and safe back home pup. Lighted collars, head lamps and flashlights are part of my gear so not only will we be safe but also stylin'. I prefer dogs to be 1 year old. Book me for 1 hour drop-in or walk and get my dog park special. For cat care I offer pics of clean cat boxes, filled water & food bowls. And if your feline companion allows it pics of playtime, pets or a stern look conveying their catitude. I carry my own pet business insurance on top of Rover's guarantee.

Mary was great. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our kitties in her hands. It was especially comforting because one of our cats has special potty needs. Absolutely recommend. She sent great updates and was very thorough.

Mary S. did an excellent job sitting my Scully. She was very prompt and thorough, providing excellent feedback. We were very comfortable during our trip because of Mary's commitment to her work. I would use Mary again and highly recommend her.

I found Mary fairly last minute for a trip and thought she was the perfect fit for my cats. Mary is extremely reliable, communicative, and definitely went the extra mile to take care of my cats, home, and even plants. I looked forward to her fun messages and pictures each day. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her services!

Mary cared for our furry friends for an extended period of time. We were worried about leaving because one of the boys had been feeling poorly (limping a bit and avoiding jumps) but when we returned, all was well. The guys were happy to see us, and both appeared in great shape. We credit it to Mary’s consistent schedule and dependable methods. Everybody was happy to be reunited, but we were pleased to find all in such great shape when we returned. Thank you so much, Mary.

Mary took wonderful care of our dog, Addy, over a long weekend. She was incredibly thorough during our initial meeting, making sure she understood Addy's routine and needs. Throughout our trip, she provided thoughtful updates after each visit, giving us complete peace of mind. She even took the time to brush Addy, going above and beyond. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!

Schedule

I work from home so my days are open. (October 2025) Now that temps have gone down I am doing morning, afternoon and evening walks. I am also equipped to do rainy day walking. Pup must provide their own raincoat or not, if they don't mind getting wet. Either way paws and body will get a towel rub down after the walk. Equipped for walking at night if your pup is so inclined. Lighted collars, flashlights & headlamps for safety. Ask about my 1 hour dog park service. For cat care drop-ins, any day and any time between 7am to 9pm.
