Mary did a very good job watching our dogs. She was prompt and very professional. We got updates with pictures every time. I will be getting a hold of her for some training. I would recommend her. Thanks again Mary!!

Mary was very good with my dogs. Could understand their body language. We will be looking at doing some training with her in the near future. Thanks Mary

Dog Walking • Jun 15, 2024

Mary is phenomenal, she knows everything about dogs and has provided me with very insightful information. She noticed my dog was experiencing some concerning side effects during her heat and gave me recommendations. The dogs are already better about jumping and walking on a leash! My dogs are also super excited to see her when she arrives in the driveway. PS my puppies are fast asleep on the ground, they must of enjoyed their walk.

Mary is the first person I would ever trust with my dogs. She has cared for my dogs several times in the last decade. I’m pretty sure Delorean would be perfectly happy living with Mary full time. Mary has also been able to help me train a variety of behaviors, from simple manners to competitive obedience. You won’t regret putting your dog in Mary’s hands. I can’t recommend her enough.

Mary is awesome! She has so much knowledge about dogs and cats. She is an excellent trainer and knows how to read dog language. I trust her implicitly with my pets. She is responsible and trustworthy.

Schedule

My life is training dogs, both mine as well as client dogs. My weekends are usually booked but I am generally flexible during the week to provide training, exercise and grooming for dogs of all ages. I am very experienced caring for double coated breeds but have also done basic grooming for poodles and bichons

Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to come to your home and can exercise your dog in a fenced yard or on leash depending on your preferences. I do have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs and cats at my house. I am careful to thoroughly wash my hands before coming into your home and using your equipment, treats, and toys to ensure that your pets stay healthy and safe while in my care

I'm happy to help your dog get comfortable with the other animals in the house. However dogs with very high prey drive who aren't used to cats or dogs who prefer to be alone probably won't be happy here. However I might be able to care for them in your home
