About: Woof! Meow? Hello? Oh hi, now that I’ve got your attention! My name is Mae. I’ve taken care of animals when I was younger and in college. I stopped due to working a lot. However I have more time for your best friend(s)! I most cater to cats. However that doesn’t mean I haven’t taken care of dogs and one random fish. I know, why pick me? I love animals with everything and treat every animal as if they were my own. Cats care: I will/can spend a lotted amount of time. I will stay at the house for up to 1-2 hours depending on how many visits you want. Am and/or PM. They will get plenty of play time, or alone time depending on preference. Cat litter will be scooped 1-2 times a day (depending on you, amount of cats or if needs) Dogs care: Same as above minus the litter. However they will get the lotted amount of walks depending on again you and puppers needs! They will get plenty of playtime as well. Can do some basic training if requested. Rodents: I have basic knowledge of some rodent care as I have had 2 hamster in the past. Will brush up if rodent care is needed and will follow any care instructions by you! Boarding! I apologize in advance but I only board cats. I do have cats of my own but your cat(s) will have their own room and will not have contact with mine. I have a morning to afternoon job. I can visit pet in the morning if needed. Will be able to spend much more time after work. I promise that in the morning they will be well cared for and get the proper care regardless! There will just be extra, extra loving in the afternoon. I have 4 cats at home. 2 are mine and 2 are foster. They get free roam of the house. Access to food at all times and all the attention (or little) they need. This does however mean that no other pets will be at my home unless due to unexpected emergency (natural). If unforeseen emergency does they will be at my home until you’re return home. Your pets safety will be my top concern.

Mae S.Star Sitter
“If you want an amazing and fun pet sitter pick Mae! Mae is fantastic! She has always been my go to choice for my dog Reo before Leo moved out to the west coast to live with my extended family. Mae has been watching my pets for years and she is a hard one to replace. Her absolute love for your animals is unmatched! She is always willing to take dogs on an adventure or chill at home with the cats. She always sends the cutest and funniest pictures and videos of your fur children. Even though my dog is now on the west coast, Mae is one of the few people that I trust with my cats. My cats absolutely love her and it helps that she has a very good understanding of some of the different anxieties my cats have with new people. I have one cat with bad separation anxiety when I am out of town and my other cat is an under-socialized cat who is on medication for sever anxiety and stress. Mae is great at making them feel comfortable when I'm not home and making sure they get the attention they need.”
