Dogs are our best friends—really!

Pet care experience

Hello fellow dog lovers, We are a friendly, active, outdoorsy couple in our late thirties, and we LOVE dogs. We are the go-to dog watchers for many clients and close friends, and in October 2019, we rescued a then two-year-old male German Shepherd Australian cattle dog mix, Wesley, who is just as lovable as can be. We lived in South Lake Tahoe, CA, for fourteen years and just recently moved to the Santa Barbara area so that I could begin a PhD in English at UCSB. We are available right now for dog walking and dog watching at clients’ homes. Ryan and I work most days from home, which means your dog will NOT be left home alone for most of the day. Ryan and I 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 in this town. Your dog will not regret being in our care! Sincerely, Mary and Ryan I work remotely from home, so I will be home all day to give your pup timely meals, plenty of potty breaks, and adequate exercise. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed when I leave the house for errands.

We were very happy with the care Mary and Ryan gave Yogi Bear. They gave him lots of exercise and attention.He was a happy camper when we picked him up.We appreciate the good care that he got.

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. 🥰

We were so happy to find Mary up in the Tahoe area to watch and be with Elsa. It’s was a vacation for all of us. Loved all the picture that were send to us and she made a new friend with Wesley. Thank you again. See you in December!
