Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate and flexible care
I grew up on a small farm and always had a big heart for the animals. As an adult, I’ve always rescued dogs, cats, and even a gerbil. With over 25 years of personal experience with training and handling animals, as well as experience sitting disabled pets, I’m comfortable with all kinds of pet personalities. I can’t commit to being a “cat person,” or a “dog person” because I truly cannot choose. I’m a huge fan of all fur friends! Open to caring for any type of animal and also plant proficient if any of your plant-babies need tending while you’re traveling, just let me know!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m well versed in body language in both dogs and cats and will pay close attention to any signs of distress. I practice preparedness and prevention over risk taking with pets and build trust by paying attention to what works. I will never force an interaction with an animal who wishes to be left alone, but will absolutely give my full attention in whatever way works best for your pet!
Ratings and reviews
MaryEllen is extremely professional, caring, and takes the best cat pics ever!! She has been taking care of our cats for the past few years since we moved to the area, and I would undoubtedly recommend her for any pet care needs!
MaryEllen is the best! Incredibly responsive, she’s great with our dog, takes excellent photos, and I always know our pup is in good hands.
Excellent care and service , as usual! Thank you!
Amazing care, communication, and attention to detail - highly recommend.
Wonderful care for our two cats. Mary Ellen does such a good job, can’t thank her enough for making the trek in the cold weather to keep our pets fed and cuddled. Highly recommend.
Maryellen is the best! Not only does she take care of our pets basic needs, she offers love, too!

Schedule
I’m a full time pet care provider & I keep my bookings in a small radius in order to be nearby for last minute requests, especially with my regular clients. If you’re looking to book a sitter for multiple days, with or without overnights, let’s chat first to make sure it’s a good fit and you know which options to choose to best suit your pet! Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions. **PUPPY PARENTS PLEASE READ** If you are in need of constant care during consecutive daytime hours, my rate is $45/hr for the first 2 hours and $22/hr after that.
