Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, caring, and reliable sitter!
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.

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!
Ratings and reviews
This was the first time with Mary Ann sitting with my pets and I couldn’t be happier. My pets were comfortable and and calm while I was away. Her experience with different breeds shows.
MaryAnn D. did an amazing job taking care of our furbabies. They were very taken care of and happy when we arrived back from our trip. We would highly recommend MaryAnn to anyone that needs a reliable, friendly and trustworthy house sitter or pet care taker!
We had a wonderful experience with Maryann! She took such great care of Lucca and treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she has for animals. We highly recommend Maryann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Maryann, for taking such amazing care of Lucca!
She was absolutely the best sitter for my fur babies, and house. They all three loved her from the moment they met. She will be forever my go to sitter.
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.

Schedule
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.

- 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.
