Pet care experience

Dog lover, runner, musician!

I’m a professional musician - performer, educator, and recent UM alumna. My schedule can be quite flexible. I love dogs but unfortunately can’t have my own just yet. My sister likes to call me the “animal whisperer.” I’m not sure about that, but I spoil her dogs - multiple walks a day and lots of attention. They love me! I enjoy being outside and I’m a runner, even in the winter! I work from home a lot of the time, so dog walking and sitting works very well with my lifestyle and schedule, and I find it to be a stress reliever. I can’t wait to meet your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

Owners typically give me the run down of the house (doors, locks, yard, etc.) and typical behaviors, schedules of their pet(s). I make sure to follow the detailed instructions that are left for me. A print out or email that I can reference is very helpful.

We’re so grateful Mary could come and take care of Selina again! She is fantastic with Selina and always leaves our home tidy and clean. We can’t wait until the next time we book with Mary!

Mary is an excellent sitter for my high maintenance pooch! She is communicative and very present with Angel, taking her on long walks and being flexible with what she needs in the moment. Mary leaves my place as she found it and is always very courteous and conscientious. She is one of the best dog sitters out there and I trust her in my home and with my doggo :)

Mary did great watching our two dogs and two cats for a few nights. Appreciated that she was able to let them out several times a day and spend some time with them while we were gone.

Mary is our go-to sitter! We haven’t seen Selina look so comfortable and happy with anyone else. Mary always leaves the home tidy and clean. She’s the best!

Mary did a great job with our dog, Millie. Millie takes some time to warm up to people but she was comfortable with Mary quickly. She kept our home clean and us updated.

Mary was exceptional with my quirky pit/beagle rescue dog Angel for a long 7 night stay. We did walks before the stay so that Angel could get to know Mary and she was patient and great with her. During the stay, Mary was communicative and asked good questions. Angel can be a handful with some anxiety and Mary handled it all with ease and Angel loved her and settled in nicely- she was even calm when I came home! Mary was also very understanding when my air stopped working and we had to call in a repair person. Very appreciative to know Angel was in great hands with someone who would care for her like I would.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. Do they have meds, how do they react to other dogs or people nearby, any triggers? What's their favorite treat, toy, game? I want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while their owner(s) are away!
