Pet care experience
I’ll take your dog on walks &play
Hi! I’m originally from Dublin, Ireland and now live in the Gold Coast with my sister. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have a true love for caring for them—especially small breeds. I’m semi-retired, so I have the flexibility and time to give your pup plenty of attention, whether it’s for daily walks, playtime, or overnight care. I’m reliable, respectful, and take pride in being someone you can trust—not just with your dog, but also in your home. When you book with me, you can expect kindness, consistency, and care every time. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a high-rise. In a pinch, we have a dog run. I am very close to Washington Park and only a 15 minute walk to Oak Beach.
Ratings and reviews
Maryann and my dog get along very well with each other!

Unfortunately, this stay did not meet my expectations. The sitter’s profile states that there are no dogs in the home, but she has a large dog. I specifically filter for dog-free homes because Zoey is a senior dog under 10 pounds, so not being informed of this before the stay was booked was a significant safety concern. Communication was also limited. I received no photos during the stay and only received an update after I reached out several hours later. Despite providing specific arrival times, the sitter was not in the lobby for either drop-off or pickup, and I waited several minutes both times. Most concerning was the way Zoey was handled. At drop-off, Zoey was reluctant to leave me, and instead of comforting her, picking her up, or waiting until I was out of sight, the sitter pulled her away by the leash while Zoey resisted. At pickup, the sitter was not watching where she was walking and kicked Zoey’s back leg fairly hard. She did not acknowledge it or check on Zoey afterward. The stay was completed, but the inaccurate profile, limited communication, and handling of my small senior dog mean I would not book with this sitter again.
Callie always loves her time with Maryann! She runs right to her and is so excited every time she sees her.

Maryann C. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Callie loves her visits with Maryanne!

Maryann is very responsive and goes the extra mile to make our dog feel comfortable. Highly recommend.
