Dogs are our best friends—really!

Pet care experience

Hello fellow dog lovers, Our names are Mary and Ryan. We are a friendly, active, outdoorsy couple in our early forties, and we LOVE dogs. We are the go-to dog watchers for many clients and close friends. We lived in South Lake Tahoe, CA, for fourteen years and moved to the Santa Barbara area three years ago so that Mary could begin a PhD at UCSB. We are available right now for dog walking and dog watching at clients’ homes. We work most days from home, which means your dog will NOT be left home alone for most of the day. We love to hike, mountain bike, run, and hang out at dog beaches. All of these activities will be available to your dog. We have a passion for dog care that is like no other. Your dog will not regret being in our care! Sincerely, Mary and Ryan

Mary and her husband were great with our dogs! They were very flexible about the pick up time and would definitely use them again.

This is our 3rd time using Mary. She is awesome! Thank you again for watching Elsa for the week! We are home and she is sleeping like a baby! We are thinking she had so much fun playing with Wesley in the snow. Happy New Year!! Loved all the pictures! Really warmed our hearts to see her loved and taken care of. 🥰
