Pet care experience

Dog walking and cuddling expert

I love to go on long walks/runs with pups as well as hang out with them afterwards. Whether that is petting/scratching/cuddling with them if they are people-pets or reading with and sitting near them if they prefer a little distance. I have experience pet-sitting for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, plants, and snakes, though I prefer homes with no birds if possible. I had a dog and a cat while growing up, and visit my family's dog, cat, and fish as frequently as possible! I work a typical day job, and if you and your pet live near my office I can stop by during the day for a short walk and potty break with a longer walk before and/or after the traditional work day as well.

MK was a great and communicative sitter for our cat. She made sure he had what he needed every day, and clarified when unsure. Very happy with the level of care provided!

Mary Kate was extremely kind and wonderful at drop-ins on my cat Ella! She was able to help me out last minute and I felt very comfortable knowing Ella was in her hands. Thank you!

I have known MK for the past nine years, and for that entire time she has been a supportive and loving person of pets. Being a pet owner herself, she has ensured that Rocco, her corgi, is fed properly, receives regular works, and lives a healthy life style. Whenever I am in need of someone to watch my own pets, like my dog Sweety, I call MK first!

Mary Kate is a loving and perceptive pet lover. She is affectionate and responsible. When she makes a commitment she honors it completely in a timely fashion.

I am always interested in knowing how dogs react around other pets and people, especially for when we're out on walks.
