Safety, trust & environment

I currently am only available for work in an owner's home. I will walk, feed, play with and clean up after pets as close to their usual schedules as possible. Pets will have to be able to be left alone during my regular working hours but care will be provided before and after those hours. I am willing to administer non-injectable medication.

Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet

Please provide any information about medications or other special needs or care, how much time you expect your pets to need someone home with them, their preferred activities, and their usual schedule so I can stick as close to it as possible. Please also inform me of any issues with fears, anxiety, or aggression and what kind. I require disclosure of any bite history and the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A typical day

I love to go for walks, play, and snuggle. Whatever your pet’s preferred activities are, I will happily make sure they get plenty of enrichment and stimulation.

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of everything from newborn puppies to senior dogs, who need extra love, patience, and care. This includes dogs who were both blind and deaf. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to Chows. In my most recent years, I have acquired multiple cats and have gained a clear understanding of these wonderful, funny animals.

Mary is my go-to catsitter whenever I have to leave my two cats at home. Mittens and Scruff both loved being with her. Usually Mittens is quite reserved around people, but with Mary, even from their first meeting, she's been happy and vocal, almost as much as she is with me. I would be happy to leave my pets with Mary anytime, she clearly loves being around them and dotes on them and cares for them so much. She followed their feeding regime and when Scruff was having medications, she ensured that he got those as well, even though he hated taking the pills. Overall, she was excellent and I would be thrilled to have her look after any pets of mine.
