Mary can care for
Availability
I'm a student at the University of Utah and also work in a research lab on campus. During the summer, I'm typically on campus Monday through Friday from about 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for classes and research. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Because I build the rest of my schedule around my commitments, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I also really miss my own dogs back home, so spending time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to each day!

About Mary A.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I primarily provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are able to stay in the environment they're most comfortable with. I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing walks and playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe while you're away. I've cared for dogs with a variety of personalities and routines, including dogs that are crate trained. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that's medications (if needed), favorite walking routes, bedtime routines, or other preferences. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
Information Mary A. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, I'd love to learn as much as I can about your pet's routine and personality! Please let me know about their energy level, daily schedule, feeding routine, favorite activities, and any behaviors or quirks I should be aware of. It's also important for me to know about any medications, allergies, medical conditions, or special care instructions so I can provide the best care possible. The more I know ahead of time, the more comfortable and stress-free the experience will be for both you and your pet.
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality and energy level! For active dogs, I'm happy to go on walks around the neighborhood, explore local parks, play fetch, or spend time outside getting plenty of exercise. For more laid-back or senior dogs, I'm just as happy to relax with them, give lots of belly rubs, play with their favorite toys, or simply keep them company. My goal is to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they're used to while their family is away.

Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs for family and friends for years, whether that means stopping by for drop-in visits or staying overnight to keep them company while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog's normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I've had Golden Retrievers my entire life, so I'm experienced with larger breeds and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I'm also very active, so I'm always happy to take dogs on walks, play outside, or simply spend quality time giving them the attention they deserve. I know every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands.

Katie is awesome, super great with pets. She was so sweet to my cat and dog. She treats animals like they’re her own and is super great to work with. I would highly recommend.
I've known Katie for a long time, and her love for dogs is unmatched! She has plenty of experience taking care of dogs from growing up with several goldens and her past dog-sitting gigs. Katie is one of the most responsible people I know. She'll do a great job taking care of your dog!
