Pups fall in love with me

**Covid-19 Update: I’m providing all services during this time, we can discuss details individually. Meet and greets: It is useful to meet outside with dogs first so they can see me maskless, indoor with masks to go over details and for cats. Let’s all stay safe and healthy!** I have extensive house and pet sitting experience for over 13 years. Currently, I am pursuing certification in small animal massage. Traveling for four years brought me into contact with many dogs across the country. They always remember me when I return visit, and hardly let me stop massaging them. It is something I am intuitively drawn to do. Plans for certification completion for this year. I am mature, grounded, reliable, patient, kind, and love walking our beautiful state. Meeting new pup friends to learn their neighborhoods is the best way to explore. I’m strict fun. They can run off leash, meet other dogs, interact with other humans with you. Our one on one time is short, I avoid anything avoidable, very protective of my clients. It’s their “lunch break”, and I’m their employee for their walks/visits. It’s my job to provide as much fun as possible. Cats know I’m core cat lady, even the shy ones can’t resist my hands off approach, let them come to me. They are a welcome contrast to all my pup clients. My girls passed in recent years, Luna (22) and Zoe (21). They traveled the country with me, still miss my crew. Elder and special needs animals have my heart and I have extensive experience with a variety of situations. I’m adaptable and attentive. I have tiny chihuahua friends up to wolfhounds. Experienced walking several active dogs together, and I haven’t met a pup I can’t handle. Late night, early morning, any odd hours are usually easy to accommodate. Rates are general, variable by needs.

We’ve been using Mary-Elizabeth for a few years and trust her completely - she has taken our cat to the vet when necessary and recently went out and found her when she got lost (indoor/outdoor cat).

Mary Elizabeth did a good job taking care of my cat. She sent lots of videos and pictures! I came home to a happy cat.

I’m so grateful to have Mary Elizabeth take care of my pup. She is flexible, responsive, and reliable. My dog loves her and I have peace of mind knowing she is being well cared for.
