Pet care experience

Your best friend’s new friend 😊🐾

A few updates as of February 14, 2025: 🐾 For everyone's health and safety, I am doing distanced meet & greets in person- at the discretion of pet parents. 🐾I am currently offering: House-Sitting*, dog walks and drop ins, and boarding if you’re okay with a small cat in a friendly 2 bedroom apartment, 🐾 Thank you for your understanding as we work to reduce risk as much as possible during this time!❤️ *I am accepting house sitting in Stamford/ Meriden/ Middletown area for previously cared for furbabies and those referred by pet parents in Stamford/ Meriden/ Middletown. A little bit about me as of February 14, 2025: 🐈‍⬛ I adopted a kitty in March of 2023. I’m no longer offering boarding unless pups are friendly with kitties☺️ (She loves visiting her furry friends) 🐾 I have 20+ years of experience with many breeds of dogs including: Staffies, Huskies, German Shepherds, Akitas, Boxers, Yorkshire Terriers, Dachshunds and Golden Doodles. 🐾 I love all breeds of dogs and cats (All are welcome)❤️ 🐾 I have a lot of patience with puppies🥰🐾 🐾 Experience with elder dogs and cats too 🐾Experience with many breeds of kitties including: Siamese, Burmese, Tabbies, Calicos, Maine Coons and 1 Savannah😅 (All kitties welcome♥️) 🐾 I was a foster for 3 local animal shelters(2 in Virginia and 1 in CT) 🐾❤️ 🐾 I will love and care for your fur-babies as if they are my own!!☺️ 🐾 I do take ALOT of photos or videos of the stay or visit (Some fur parents love that) 🐾 I am seeking an opportunity to spend more time with animals and make a difference for cat and dog parents who need someone reliable to sit or walk their fur babies. ❤️Thank you for the opportunity. My schedule is flexible. Caring for fur-babies is very therapeutic for me. I am in college online full time 😊 I would love to care for your furry friends. I’m very detail oriented. Ensuring that any gates, doors are closed and or secured. I always make sure to feed the animal the appropriate amount of food. Any details about allergies/ meds or temperament I always ensure to ask prior to agreeing to care.

House Sitting • Aug. 13, 2023

Maryann continues to be an AMAZING sitter! She clearly loves and adores my pets and takes such great care of them. She is very communicative, so you’ll always be aware of what’s going on and won’t have to guess! Can’t recommend her enough!

Great service and attention by Mary Ann, she was super communicative and report to us every given moment about our babies, also, made sure they’ll have routine like they use too every day and stood behind all her promises. Wish we can rate her 10 stars!

Boarding • März 16, 2023

Thank you Maryann for your kind, welcoming, and heartfelt hospitality toward my fur baby during his stay. As you can see from the videos and images, Scrappy loved his time with her so so much. I was at ease leaving him with her thanks to the daily updates and thorough communication .She treated him as if he was apart of her family.She even went as far as to cook for him when she noticed he was having separation anxiety and wasn’t eating his dog food. He went for multiple walks a day and I felt good knowing that he was happy and being well taken care of . Not to mention our flight was delayed by 8 hours and she was so understanding and patient with us. She said and I quote “ Scrappy is warm and safe “ which made all the difference in that stressful situation . I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better human being to care for my pet while we were away. She was nothing short of amazing. If i could somehow give her 1000 stars I would .He will undoubtedly return for our future travels since I know for a fact that he was in such loving, caring, and capable hands. ❤️❤️
