Safety, trust & environment

Each visit can vary based on your animal’s energy level! If I see they have energy to get out I’ll get their toys out and play with them. If they seem low energy or just craving attention, I’ll sit with them and give them lots of pets!

Information Mary a. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if the dog is friendly towards other animals/ people or any rules you have for your dog that I may need to know prior.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs on a walk, and bring them to an area where they can play with a ball or any toy they enjoy! If your dog enjoys running I can also take them on a jog. Let me know what your animal needs!

Pawsitively the Best Pet Pal

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Mary, and I offer experienced, patient care for all pets—from tiny kittens to 100+ lb dogs. Many dogs and cats I watch are seniors, or need special care during the visits like eye drops or medication. My goal is to always build trust and ensure your pet has a pawsitive experience. 🐾 Patience is key! I understand that some animals need a little extra time and space to feel secure. I always focus on learning their boundaries and building trust, ensuring a positive experience for your pet. ❤️

Mary did a great job as always. She kept me informed of what was going on with my dog and the house. Mary provided a peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.

So happy to have Mary take my pup on a long walk before it gets too hot on my long work days! She always takes great care of Koda!
