Pet care experience

Mary Pawpins for your pets!

I’m an active grandma who loves animals and would love to do some pop-ins (or pawp-ins 😀) for your pets to feed them, let them out, play with them, take a walk, brush them, pet them…any or all of it! I walk every day and love it when I’ve got a furry friend or two coming along with me! I frequently take care of 2 golden doodles who love to walk together! Thank goodness I workout! 😊I also regularly take care of a golden retriever who loves our long walks too! If your pets are not active or you don’t want walks, I will spend all my time with them giving them love and attention to help ease their time while you’re not there.

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat them like they’re my own and tailor my time with them to fit their personality. They like lots of activity? I’ll play with them, indoors and outside. They like to rest and relax? I’ll pet them and brush them (if you’re okay with brushing). They love to go on walks? I’ll take them on some…sometimes just for all the smells their little noses discover or seek out! But always happy to give them a focused exercise walk too! I’ll send you photo and video updates while I’m with them so you can rest at ease knowing they’re having fun, resting, and eating.

Mary is amazing, I had plans and had to last-minute arrange a visit for my dog. I was pretty unresponsive during his visit without meaning to be, but Mary was checking in and proactive about asking anything she'd need to take good care of him. So appreciative!!

Mary is amazing with animals. She has taken care of my dogs for weeks at a time and she always goes above and beyond for them.

Mary has watched our golden retriever many times over the last few years. She always makes sure he is loved, walked, played with and taken care of before she leaves. She even brushes him and treats him like her own. He absolutely loves her and looks forward to seeing her each time she comes over.
