Raised w/ dogs-practically by them!

Pet care experience

I am a graduate student and my time after April 26th is completely free! My black Lab, Bailey/sister, has been by my side since I was 12. She just turned 14 on April 19th. She taught me how to be responsible with another life and how bountiful love from furry friends can be. Four years ago, I felt the love for four more paws and brought home my German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix Rosie, who has been the light of my life. I have trained my dogs personally to: sit, stay, lay, come, heel, crawl, and give paw. I have also crate trained both of my dogs. I love going on long walks with my dogs and taking them to the park to play. Also, I understand that dogs have different personalities: for example, Bailey, when she was younger, was very sociable but didn't like other female dogs so I learned how to handle her around female dogs but still socialize her with male dogs. Bailey is more alpha, so I learned to get her to understand her place. Rosie is sociable when she's around dogs that she gets to know no matter the gender. She is shy in the park and tends to play by herself. As I mentioned earlier, my schedule is completely open from April 26th to August 29th. After that my availability will be a bit tighter but I am committed to providing excellent care to your furry friends!

Mary is wonderful with dogs! She is kind, affectionate, and sets appropriate behavior boundaries. She is the kind of dog sitter who will lay on the floor with your pup to roll around or just to snuggle. She is a good person inside and out and your dog will pick up that quickly!

When it comes to a responsible and caring dog walker, Mary is your girl! When caring my dog, she was prompt, kind and Maggie loved her! I am so grateful for her and the love she showered over Maggie. It is nice to know when you are away, your dog is in loving hands!

I would recommended Mary as a dog caregiver because she is very attentive to animal needs. She is always makes sure that she is providing the best food and care for each dogs needs. Mary is also very loving which everyone, dogs and humans alike, pick up on! I trust her wholeheartedly with my Poncho who I refer to as my son. Trust me, Mary is the best!

Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet

I love any and all dogs. while I have more experience with medium/large breeds, my sister has a small dog and I have happily looked after him in the past. I'd like to have a sense of the dog's personality before walking them so I know how to handle them on the leash. I'd also like to know about any allergies and medical conditions so I can be sensitive to that.

A typical day

I'm willing to expand my area of service and because of that I look forward to creating new adventures and letting your dog explore until their heart's content. I have some treat puzzles that I can bring if you approve of me giving your dog treats. Also, I tend to keep things as healthy as possible, so I'll bring carrots, baked sweet potato, and other natural treats. I'm open to taking the pups to the park if that is something you are comfortable with. I also have two different sized doggy life vests so I can take your pup swimming if you'd like! I love exploring the city, so having the chance to do that with your pup by my side will be such a treat!
