The best care for your best friends

Pet care experience

Privately Insured through Pet Sitters Associates I am Not accepting midday weekday clients at the moment. That part of my schedule is fully booked for the time being with a wait list for some days. Covid update: Besides my normal disinfecting routine, double masking, daily temperature checks, and covid tests every other week, I am happy to say that I received my third vaccine dose 8 November 2021! I have a compromised immune system so I take every precaution, and I ask that you reapect my safety by doing so as well. For the last six years prior to moving to Providence in June of 2019, alongside of doing Rover, I have worked in, and for three years been director of, a childcare facility where I was involved in the daily care of children aged 3-18 (as well as occasionally children as young as six weeks), some with Autism, Asperger's, and behavioral disorders, as well as those in the foster care system. Recently relocating permanently to Providence from southern New Jersey I am excited to meet so many new animals and care for them all as well as making Animal care my full time and only job. I have always held a love for animals and have enjoyed the privilege of raising and training two of my own rescue dogs. Through Rover I have met and cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, and giant rabbits and am always willing to learn new ways to care for all kinds of creatures, treating my client's animals as my own. If you are booking me for a vacation you are much more likely to be sure of a spot in my calendar if you book early, and I ask that if you are requesting midday visits you give me a possible two hour time range as the middle of the day is very popular and I would like to accommodate you along with my regulars which sometimes requires slight shifting to make sure that everyone gets the proper care they need. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injected medications to animals as well as handling high anxiety or special needs cases. I love all animals though mine and the animals safety and well being comes first.

As always, Maryann did a fantastic job! She’s a wonderful pet-sitter and takes such good care of our cats when we are out of town. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets!

Information Maryann W. would like to know about your pet

I like to do a meet and greet before we book so that I can get to know you and your animals personalities ahead of time, can go over safety procedures with you, and just make sure that everyone is comfortable before the booking. I also require proof of vaccinations (Rabies, Parvovirus, Distemper, and Bordatella) as well as assurance that your animal is on a flea and tick preventative before care can begin, so please have vaccination records available for me when we meet or shortly after, but before the booking. **Please note: This means that I do not take on new clients for same day services.** ***I also do not refund last minute/same day cancelations except in the case of extreme weather for walks*** If you are booking house sitting, my hours for overnights are from six pm to eight am, though depending on the rest of my schedule I may be able to spend more time with your animals than that. If you need midday walks or visits those are booked separately from the overnight stay.

A typical day

I like to stick as close to your animal's usual routine as possible to eliminate further anxiety that may be caused by being without their favorite people, so if they are accustomed to long hikes that is what we will do, if they are use to racing atound after a ball in the yard then I am all in. And of course I love my couch cuddlers. Please tell me all of your pets' favorite activities.
