Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet loving retiree
I started taking care of friends and families pets that grew to friends of friends pets. I took a break from it while working but am retired so I will have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets.I have always owned cats until we rescued our first dog Daisy a pembroke welsh corgi. She passed in 2022 and we came upon a shelter corgi Bella who we fell in love with. She is the only pet we own now so I have plenty of love to bestow on your beloved cats or dogs. I would love to meet them and take care of them to give you peace of mind while you are away.

I am unable to care for pets in my home at this time. My dog Bella has some food and resource guarding issues as of late.She does get along with dogs but I would rather not take the chance for the safety of your pets.
Ratings and reviews
Mary has taken care of our cat before, and as expected- she did an outstanding job! It really provides me with joy and comfort knowing our fur baby is being comforted and loved while we’re out of town. She’s dependable, easy to communicate with, and truly a blessing to have helping us while we travel!
I can’t put into words how happy I am that Mary took care of our cat while we were traveling! She went above and beyond- she kept in contact with us regularly, sent photos of him that showed us he was happy, healthy, and being his “usual self” in her care, and made professional observations of his behavior to make sure he was not in any distress due to our absence (eating, playing, and purring 😊 as expected). Mary was reliable, professional, and truly cared about our pet’s well-being! I’d recommend her to anyone that desires top-notch care for their fur baby!
Mary is very sweet, kind and caring about making my Ana comfortable. Ana took to her right away. Mary now has another new friend.
amazing sitter! 10/10 recommend
I could not have asked for a better experience. Mary was exceptional in her care for my cat. She even stopped by on a sunny day (sun is precious in winter in Erie) to let my cat out on the balcony which she absolutely loves. It was very evident that Mary is indeed a cat lover. She spent time with Boo, making her feel comfortable. I had absolutely no concern about being away. I just sensed she was in good hands and I was right. I'm recommending Mary to my sister who has 4 cats and will be needing a sitter soon. I whole-heartedly recommend Mary - and she sits for dogs too. Thank you Mary!
We could not have asked for a better cat sitter! Mary was warm, professional, and attentive to every detail about our two cats’ routines and personalities. While we were away, we received updates from each visit with adorable photos and thoughtful notes that gave us total peace of mind. Both of our cats can be a little shy with new people, but they warmed up to Mary quickly—which speaks volumes about the level of care and kindness she provided. When we came home, our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved in our absence. We would not hesitant to book Mary again!
