Pro Caregiver to Love on Your Pup

Pet care experience

For two decades, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. From neighbors and family members to friends and their referrals, I’ve been a reliable, attentive caretaker to meet a variety of pet care needs: dog walking, feeding, bathing , calming anxiety, and companionship. Personally I’ve also been a loving dog mom to a black lab and shih tzu. It’s not just a job - it’s a joy!

Our animals love Mary and she is great at communicating and keeping us updated while we’re gone. She’s got a wonderful calm presence about her and treats our pets like her own.

From start to end, Moose was attached. We had a last minute event and Mary was able to help us on such short notice…photos, videos, and best of all, a tired pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I live by a park and have ample space in my home to provide a nurturing, expansive home away from home for your pets. I will send you real time photos and videos to show you just how happy and well your loved fur baby is doing while you’re away.

Information Mary D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your dog has any special needs, allergies, takes any medications, mood or trauma concerns (ie anxiety, does not like sudden movement), triggers (ie certain words/ sounds/ movements/ behavior that create discomfort), and how they react to being around other dogs and people.

A typical day

I love being able to provide mental and physical stimulation and engagement with pets on their level of comfort. From playing games with them (with and without their toys) to offering lots of snuggles and walks, I often take dogs to parks to enjoy all the beautiful smells and sounds outside.
