I have a really flexible schedule to spend time with your pets. I can easily adjust my day for walks, playtime, or cuddles — and I’m happy to work from your home if your pet enjoys extra company throughout the day. I can also take long lunch breaks for visits or walks if you just need someone to stop by and check in. I grew up with three big labs and now have a sweet cat named Willow, so I love both dogs and cats equally! I know how important it is to find someone who’s reliable and truly cares, and I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat animals and their homes like they are my own. With the absolute most respect. 🐾 I live in a one-bedroom apartment, so I don’t offer boarding in my own space, but I take great pride in being clean, organized, and respectful when staying in someone else’s home. You can count on me to treat your space — and your pets — with the same care and attention I give my own.

Information Mary K. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any quirks or preferences that make them unique. It’s helpful to know how they do on walks, what toys or treats they love, and if there are any special instructions for care or medication. I also like to learn about their personality — whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly — so I can make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away! 🐾

A typical day

love keeping pets happy and active — whether that’s going on walks, playing with toys, giving cuddles, or even teaching little tricks. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy finding ways to keep them entertained and engaged throughout the day.

Cat care experience

Hi! I’m a huge cat lover and proud cat mom to my sweet girl, Willow. She’s my best buddy and the reason I fell even more in love with caring for animals. I’ve always believed cats deserve just as much love, playtime, and attention as any pet — and I truly enjoy getting to know each kitty’s unique personality. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your cat the care and companionship they need while you’re away.

Mary is absolutely wonderful with animals! She’s patient, kind, and treats every pet like her own. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing she's in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy — truly someone you can trust completely with your furry family members.

Mary has been watching my dog for me since he was a puppy, so about 5 years. She always does such a great job taking care of him, spending as much time with him as she can, and always sends me pictures and updates! She is a fantastic dog sitter and Beau is always so excited when he gets to spend the weekend with her.
