Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Lover!
Ever since I was a kid, friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, dogs who prefer to be the only pup in the room, and multi-dog households. My husband and I are proud pawrents to our sweet 50lb rescue, Charlie! (and we like to say he rescued us as much as we rescued him!) Being a rescue, he has fearful tendencies. Because of this, I've come to understand dog behavior on a deeper level and know how to ensure your pup remains safe, comfortable, and confident in all settings!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m a natural caregiver and love animals of all kinds. Since we live in an apartment without a fenced yard, Charlie enjoys at least four walks a day. We’re lucky to be close to parks and the Neponset Trail, so he gets plenty of new places to explore! I’ll give your pet the same level of enrichment—long walks with fresh scents, playtime, cuddles, feeding, and plenty of love.
Ratings and reviews
Did a last minute walk with my dog and communicated about everything. Thank you!

I have seen Mary interact with and care for many dogs over the past 18 years, and I have trusted her to care for my own. From an 8 pound min pin to a 60 pound pit bull, she's able to walk them, give them meds, play with them, and do anything that is required in their owner's absence. As a dog mom herself, she understands how to handle pups and has no issue dealing with some of the sometimes "not so fun" parts of being a pet parent (tummy issues, clean ups, soothing them through thunderstorms, handling reactive dogs on a leash, etc.). She's a genuine "dog person" and I'd call on her any time to sit for my pup and stay in my home.
Mary has been amazing with my anxious dog! She is kind, patient, and reliable. He warmed up to her immediately and is so excited every time he sees her. She takes care of him like he is her own and I know that when he's with her, he is safe and having fun.
I can’t say enough great things about Mary! She’s absolutely amazing with my dog, Taquito - he literally whimpers with excitement the second he sees her and will stay by her side until she leaves. I always feel at ease knowing he’s with her because she treats him like her own. She’s caring, reliable, communicative, and has that natural calm energy that dogs love. She's also very detailed - our dog as a slight slant in his walk and she noticed it the first time she took him out on a leashed walk. She knows a lot about dogs - she has a dog of her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely gets dogs and makes them feel safe and loved.
Mary is absolutely amazing with our dog Jackson! He lights up the second he sees her and her husband Gibu. Jackson also adores their pup, Charlie because it’s like having a little brother to play and nap with. The two of them are inseparable, and it makes us so happy knowing he has such a great buddy while we’re away. Whether it’s an overnight stay or just a quick day trip, we always feel completely at ease knowing Jackson’s in their care. Mary keeps us updated, sends the best photos, and treats him like part of the family. Honestly, I think he might like their house better than ours at this point. We couldn’t ask for better sitters! They’re simply the best! 🐾
I can’t say enough great things about Mary! She’s one of those people who just gets animals — the kind who can instantly connect with any dog or cat she meets. Mary has grown up with dogs her whole life and now has her own sweet pup, who’s as well-behaved and loved as they come. She’s incredibly patient, responsible, and genuinely cares for every animal as if it were her own. Whether it’s playtime at the park, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, you can always count on Mary to make sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. She’s also wonderful with cats — gentle, calm, and attentive. I’d trust her with any of my pets in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and full of love for animals, Mary is absolutely the best choice.

Schedule
I’m fortunate to work fully remotely, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to. It’s a great way to step away from my desk, recharge both mentally and physically, and come back to work refreshed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping a pet company, I’m able to be present and attentive with them!
