Pet care experience

Looking for a run/walk furry friend

I have always been the go to dog sitter for my family and friends, I love spending time with dogs but can’t commit to having my own yet so I love being able to commit for shorter periods of time. I am currently working a 9-5 job and looking for dogs to take care of after work by going on walks/runs. If your dog is able to spend time alone at home during the day I would love to stop over in the morning and then able to come by after work as well to spend more time. Have been taking care of dogs of all types, mostly large dogs and making sure they are exercised, brushed, fed, and loved. Can’t commit to being financially responsible for a dog full time but more than able to travel or stay at your home to keep animals company.

Mary Catherine made it comfortable for us to leave our new rescue pup for the 1st time. Having her stay in our home with Tye allowed us to relax and not worry. Thank you Mary Catherine and Rover!

A very poor experience overall with MaryCatherine. She was booked to house sit with our two dogs over a long weekend so my wife and I could attend a wedding out of town. The first day our dogs were left alone for over 12 hours, and we had to ask a neighbor to go over to feed them, give them fresh water, and make sure they were okay as MaryCatherine wasn't responsive to texts/calls. The next day, her communication improved, and it seemed like we could let the first instance go. Unfortunately, she then left our house that evening around 7 and didn't return! (We have cameras on our entrances). We were so worried that we texted, called, and even submitted a note to Rover that our pets had been abandoned. Luckily (AGAIN) our neighbor ran over to check on them late that morning. After NOON the next day, MaryCatherine returned our text and said she wasn't able to drive back the previous night, but she'd take care of them now through the next morning. Our dogs were left alone for over 17 hours. She was apologetic, but honestly never expected this level of irresponsible behavior from an adult. I hate leaving poor reviews, but I would never recommend her to anyone unless you genuinely don't care about your dogs, or you have an amazing group of neighbors as a plan B.

MaryCatherine has watched our dog a few times and she always does a great job. We really appreciate her help while we are traveling!

MaryCatherine was great! We were so happy that Walter was taken such good care of! It was comforting to know that he was in good hands while we were on vacation. We look forward to using MaryCatherine again on our next vacation! We couldn't be more impressed!

Mary Catherine was super helpful with my dog Nova! I was nervous about leaving Nova for 5 days but Mary Catherine was consistent and thorough with caring for Nova. I even got picture updates from every visit which I enjoyed sharing with my family and brought me peace that Nova was having fun. 11/10 would recommend Mary Catherine and will be booking with her in the future!

MaryCatherine is not only a very sweet person she is also a dog charmer. I came home to a very clean house and most important, a very happy dog. I will definitely hire MaryCatherine in the future.
