Information Mary-Claire M. would like to know about your pet

I want to know as much as possible about your pet before I take care of them to make sure I am providing them with the care they need. Please let me know if your dog has any specific health or behavioral needs. If your dog has any fears or triggers, please make me aware of these so that I can help to accommodate them.

A typical day

I love to be outside and to be active! I love running, walking, going to the dog park... Whatever level of physical activity your dog needs, I am happy to accommodate that! I love to play with dogs and set up stimulating activities for them... Your dog has my full attention when they are with me!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and have extensive experience caring for them. I have helped to train puppies and cared for more senior dogs, and I am comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as more anxious dogs.

We had a great experience with Mary-Claire! I felt completely at ease leaving our pup in her care for the weekend. We really appreciated the updates and communication while we were away.

Mary-Claire did a wonderful job taking care of Milo! She was very responsive, provided helpful updates, and sent pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. It was reassuring to know he was being well cared for. I would definitely book with her again!

Mary-Claire was awesome. We had a last minute change of plans and she was able to help us by dog sitting in our time of need. Our dog can be a bit protective, but because she’s so kind and caring he warmed up to her quickly. I really appreciate her professionalism and communication. They had a great weekend and I will definitely book again.
