Safety, trust & environment

I’d happily adhere to any requirements you request for your little ones. I understand pets have varying specific needs much like humans do! Protecting your fury family is a priority. If it’s really hot I’ll keep them hydrated and walk them in the shade. I don’t ever want you to worry about your pets when I’m in charge of their health and wellbeing. If any emergency situation arises my first call will be to your veterinary office, then to you. My reliable transportation will bring them there immediately. Just to let you know, I’ve never had an accident happen within all my years of pet care. Safety comes first.

Information Mary A. would like to know about your pet

Let me understand your pets needs, quirks, likes and dislikes. Are your dogs trained? Are there any specific commands they understand? Do you walk them or do they walk you? Lol. Please provide your veterinary phone number and address. Inform me of anything else you think I should know, no matter how insignificant it seems. Also food instructions, allergies, locations of supplies and treats.

A typical day

I gradually get to know your pet with my preference for meeting them in advance of your departure. I always give each pet play time and cozy cuddle time. Grooming when needed. I can walk your dog to the beach if it’s convenient. Play fetch with dogs and games with cats. My approach is very interactive. Show me your pets favorite toys and tell what kind of things they like to do with them. Where do they like to be rubbed and scratched? Are there any places they want you to avoid. My cat hates to have her feet touched because she thinks it’s nail trimming time.

I hired her to walk my dog three times while I was away for the day my dog never pooped the whole day! She was too busy telling me that my dog needed training on her leash and asking questions about a lump on her belly ask me if my that veterinarian saw it hello!!!! I think she was trying to train her on the leash.Rushing her and not letting her stop enough to poop.There's no way she didn't have to poop she poops for every walker especially after three walks I was really upset when I got home she pooped within 2 minutes $25 a walk really?

Mary was very attentive to my cat Zeekie while I was away for the holidays. He was loved on and well cared for. Thank you, Mary!

Mary has stayed with my 2 year old dog Razzle on multiple occasions when I have been traveling out of town. She is trustworthy and consistent and loves all animals. Razzle can be a bit anxious as he is a “covid” dog, but I always felt like I was leaving him in caring hands with Mary. Mary Rocks!

My cat and I love Mary! I'm always happy to trust Mary with caring for my cat, Trick, when I'm out of town. She's friendly, reliable, and loves to spend time with Trick. She always keeps me updated and sends me pictures while I'm away, so I can rest assured everything is OK. I would highly recommend her for any pet setting needs!
