A Pet Sitter You Can Trust!

Whether your dog be small and hyper, large and lazy, or somewhere in between, I am guaranteed to put in the time and effort to make sure your pet is comfortable and content while you are away! I also take pride in good communication and leaving your home as I found it when performing home visits/stays - I treat everyone’s pets and belongings as I would my own! I have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities and am able to provide the patience it takes to tend to each one’s individual needs. A little about me: - I work a remote position, so I am home/available during the day. -My fiancé, Jacob, and I moved from Virginia to NC in July of last year, and just recently purchased a home in Rock Hill! We live with our beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Willow. - I have a B.S. in Biology with a pre-veterinary minor - JMU alumni (GO DUKES!!💜💛). I also have experience working as a veterinary assistant in various clinics. - I enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors. I’m also a major foodie and love to cook or going out to try new restaurants! I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you and meet your fur baby - if you take an interest to my profile, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Maryellen stayed with my best fur friend last weekend and everything went extremely well, including her being flexible for our earlier than expected return home!!!!

Mary Ellen is a pro. Went left our young and active dog and our home in her care for a week and she never gave us any doubt all was under control. She reached out if she needed direction and sent pics of our dog which made us smile. We highly recommend her.

Maryellen takes care of my cat while I’m away. She is trustworthy and is someone I will request every time I need Rover. I highly recommend her!

Maryellen was great! She came for a meet and greet. I liked her and she seemed comfortable with our two large barking dogs. The day we were headed out of town she texted me to double check our leave time. She sent photos each day. She took them for walks and stayed in our house for two nights. Taking both dogs out is a slight arm workout. Dogs were fed and happy when we returned. I would use Maryellen again for overnights or just walks and I would recommend her to friends.

Maryellen is really nice, she took care of our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. Our dogs were really happy with her. We will definitely call Maryellen again!

Schedule

I work remotely full time during the week, so I am home all hours of the day and can support flexibility. I also have a dog of my own, so pet care is always in my daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I am typically open to however things are normally ran at home - I just ask for open communication in general for anything I should be aware of about your pet or your home.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take them on walks and get them some exercise if they enjoy it, but I can also accommodate lower energy pets (our cavalier is a couch potato). I try to adjust to what your pet is used to at home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Maryellen can host up to 5 pets per night
I am willing to work with any pets BUT please let me know of any special needs, medications, or anything of nature ahead of time so that I am aware. One ask is that for any boarding, they must get along with other dogs since we have our own and I will require a meet and greet to ensure they get along; she is vey dog/person friendly.
