Introduction: As a member of Pet Sitters Associates, LLC, I am also bonded and insured via their insurance carrier to care for your cats, dogs (also walking) in and outside of your home. I can provide house sitting and home organizing while caring for your pets in your absence. I'm a regular volunteer at SpayMart cat adoption center where I clean, feed and provide affection to cats waiting for forever homes. I also have a home full of well-loved cats and a dog. My pet care services are an extension of my love for animals. I also have a couple of regular satisfied dog clients who get M-F care and a personal walk.

Mary Ellen began to provide daily care to my dog and two kittens a few months ago, and continues to care for them today. From the start, she has been a loyal pet care provider, and it is clear that she truly cares about my pets and the time she spends with them! She always keeps me updated with picture messages and text updates, which is much appreciated when I am gone so long during the weekdays. The care she provides is quality, and she treats my animals so lovingly!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The hourly rate depends on the travel distance from my home. My lowest rate is $10.00 per hour, but not more than $20.00 per hour for care and feeding of all pets and/or personal walk for dogs. Can visit one or two times daily.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Give initial quote, receive additional details re types, number, temperaments of pets, possible medications needed and if any unusual handling issues. Chat more and meet and greet.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have experience working with older and nervous dogs and all kinds of cat behaviors via work at SpayMart cat sanctuary.
