I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on being as reliable and communicative as possible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About MaryAnn D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!
Information MaryAnn D. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your pet’s routine, temperament, and any specific needs ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, triggers, or behaviors (such as anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies). I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions and want to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
I focus on keeping your pet’s day consistent, calm, and comfortable. We’ll follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and rest so they feel secure while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on relaxed walks where they can explore at their own pace, and I make sure they get attention, play, and quiet time depending on their personality. I also provide regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time.

Working with MaryAnn has been great! They’re communicative, easy to work with, and has always followed instructions well. I know my cat is in good hands whenever MaryAnn cat sits for me!
MaryAnn is an exceptional pet caretaker, both of her own animals and also for others. She has watched my pets on numerous occasions, with great care, compassion and enthusiasm. She is responsible and loves all animals as her own.
