A fun & inquisitive pet lover
Pet care experience
I can't wait to meet your pooch! I am a longtime dog lover and have been the primary caretaker for both family pets and pets of my own. Currently working from home and spend a lot of time with my kitty, Frank. Frank is 3 years old, high energy and has lived with and enjoys the company of dogs (who don't mind him). Before Frank, I had a senior kitty Jeff who needed daily medication so this wouldn't be my first time navigating medication administration for your pet. Unfortunately, I don't have a dog in my life right now and it would be my pleasure to love on and spoil yours! I'm located in the Kensington/Port Richmond area but also have a car to get to your pet! If you have any questions for me don't hesitate to ask and I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
Reviews
Mary is an exceptional person and would, without question, be my #1 choice when I need help caring for my animals. She is compassionate and caring and has been around cats and dogs all her life. She is also intelligent and responsible, and I trust her to act in the best interest of my animals in my absence. I am confident there is no better choice for a pet-sitter than Mary Garten!
Mary has often taken care of my dog Jeff while I am out of town. She is extremely attentive and carefully follows directions, especially regarding medications. Mary is able to accommodate Jeff's dog-walking needs on a flexible basis and is proactive about communicating her availability. Mary manages Jeff confidently and safely, and always demonstrates sound judgement when Jeff is in contact with other dogs or people, esp. children. On top of Mary's expertise with dog-walking, she is a joy to work with and I look forward to our personal interactions

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet
Love all dogs! If it is an overnight stay with me then I would need to know if your dog is okay with cats.
A typical day
Would love to take Rover on a drive in the car to stroll through the Wissahicken or to Valley Forge National Park. Also happy to curl up in his home and keep him company in his space if that's what he needs. And always willing to socialize at the dog park as well.
