Very experienced, safe, and loving!
Pet care experience
I have, of course, cared for and trained my own dogs from childhood. These dogs included some high energy breeds such as border collies and Australian Cattle Dogs as well as some more independent breeds such as Scottish terriers. More than that, however, I've worked as a vet tech in a small animal clinic and volunteered to socialize shelter dogs, primarily pit bulls and pit mixes, in Santa Monica, California, working with a program that paired shelter dogs with children in the juvenile justice system. I have a great deal of experience in gently but effectively handling a wide variety of wonderful dogs in a vast number of different circumstances. I truly love all dogs, regardless of their age, their activity level, or their breed.
Reviews
Mary took excellent care of our pup once again! We appreciate her sending photos and updates!
We booked Mary for a second time to drop-in, check on, and spend time with our elderly cat while out of town. She was responsive, helpful, and courteous as always. We felt confident in our kitty's care while we were gone and appreciated the extra care Mary provided.
Mary took excellent care of our dog! She was a great communicator and provided several photos and an update each visit. We will definitely book with Mary in the future!
Mary was an excellent pet sitter for my senior cat while I was out of town. She went above and beyond in checking on him during scheduled times, making sure he had plenty to eat and drink, spent time with him to ensure his general well-being, and provided timely and much appreciated updates. I plan to book Mary again in the future.

Information Mary A. would like to know about your pet
I like to know which commands they've been trained to respond to as well as any pre-existing medical conditions. I like to know how they respond to cats, other dogs, and small children. I also like to know anything that they find particularly startling.
A typical day
I'm happy to take them on long walks in local nature parks, shorter walk around the neighborhood, or anything in between. Frisbee in dog parks, snuggles on park benches and much more await your pet!
