I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.

Mary Ann and her sweet kids take my dog Skye on adventures all the time! She follows all my care instructions for him and he always returns home to me completely happy AND exhausted in the best way possible. I highly recommend Mary Ann as a dog sitter or walker!

Schedule

🐾 Dog Walking & Daycare Dog walking and daycare fit perfectly into my schedule because I do this full-time. It’s more than just a side job for me — I love what I do and am proud to make a living doing something I genuinely enjoy. My days are built around caring for dogs, getting outside, staying active, and making sure every pup gets plenty of attention and exercise. I’m always ready to take on the next walk, playdate, or adventure! 🐶🌊🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I offer 30-minute to 1-hour walks tailored to your dog's needs. Whether your pup loves a leisurely neighborhood stroll, playing fetch at the park, or running on the beach, I'm happy to make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I'm also available for dog/cat boarding during the week and on weekends if you need reliable, loving care while you're away. If you work over the hill, have long workdays, or just need a little extra help during the week, I'd love to help keep your dog happy and active while you're away. Feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss your dog's needs. Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐶❤️ — in Capitola.

Pets

A typical day

🐾 Doggy Daycare Adventures 🌊 This isn’t your typical doggy daycare where your pup spends the day sitting around the house! When your dog stays with me, they’re part of the adventure. 🐶💕 We spend our days outside, exploring and staying active with trips to the beach, beautiful hiking trails, dog parks, and other fun adventures around the coast. I genuinely love being outdoors and spending time with dogs, so getting to combine the two feels like the dream job. My goal is for every pup to go home happy, tired, and feeling like they had the best day ever! 🌊 Beach adventures 🥾 Hiking & exploring 🐕 Dog park playtime 🐾 Plenty of exercise & enrichment ❤️ Lots of love, attention & cuddles Your dog doesn’t just get daycare — they get a day full of adventure, fresh air, exercise, and fun while exploring beautiful Santa Cruz, the place we’re so lucky to call home. 🌊🐾
