Safety, trust & environment

I want to try and keep the same routine for the animal that there parents to the best of my ability, it tends to keep the animals more tranquil and happy, attention as they like. I'm a cuddler, so the more the better.

Information Marykay B. would like to know about your pet

We will meet before to make sure I'm a good fit and I can get info, it helps to have it written on a cheat sheet. Sometimes we have a little bit of time before I stay.

A typical day

Walks will be in the neighborhood or local park, if they have a yard playing fetch if they like, really whatever they like or want. I am not a runner, so that's not offered.

The best things in life are furry

Pet care experience

I have been caring for pets at their home for a number of years, I feel they are more comfortable and less stressed when their parents are away. During those visits the animals get walks a minimum of 3 times and played with as much as they want.for cats there's playtime and lap time if they choose as much as they want. If we go out I go with them, there is to much dog napping going on to leave them unattended. I am totally focused on your four legged family member during my stay. Your house also is looked after, mail picked up, plants watered, I leave the bed changed and ready for your next visitor. The best things are furry.i like walks and doing drop ins also. I will be doing animal care only after may 8th 2026.

Marykay did such a great job getting to know our sweet bois and taking care of our special diet having Pickle. She was always engaging with and trying to make the cats feel comfortable with her around.

Marykay was amazing with our two rescue pups. She was reliable, communicative, and so caring with both dogs. We had total peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. Highly recommend!

We loved having Marykay housesit for our senior kitty while we went away! She is patient and kind and has a lot of experience with cats. She sent plenty of updates and photos which is great for these anxious pet parents :) When we returned, our kitty was calm and content, and the house was perfectly clean. I would definitely book with Marykay again in the future!
