Pet care experience

Loving and caring caretaker

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and loving animal caretaker with experience looking after dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention, patience and care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while providing your pet with plenty of love and care!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide loving and reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own homes. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I will make sure to follow each pet’s specific schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any other individual needs. I give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while also respecting their personality and routine. I’m attentive to their behavior and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands while they’re away.

Mary was wonderful with our dog Daisy! She was so thorough— made sure to meet Daisy again before sitting and asked all the right questions. She sent cute pictures and gave updates! I know Daisy had a great time with Mary, and we will definitely book her again!!

Mary is a great dog sitter, she stayed in home with our two dogs and provided excellent care! They were happy and settled the whole time, they’re two very different dogs but she was able to make them both feel special. Mary provided consistent updates with photos, and is a clear communicator throughout. Definitely hope we can book her a next time!

Mary was wonderful with our buddy, Ralphie. She asked lots of question ahead of her visit and made sure she followed all of our care instructions. We received lots of great updates when we were out of town. She is clearly a natural with animals and Ralphie immediately felt comfortable with her. She left our house spotless following her stay. Would highly recommend!

Maggie is so attentive and caring for our pup! It was the first time we left him with someone for the night and he was having a blast with her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care!

Mary was absolutely amazing! This was our first time with a house sitter for Wilbur and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She provided tons of photos and took Wilbur on lots of adventures. I highly recommend Mary to any and everyone who needs pet assistance!
