Pet care experience
I earn your dog’s trust and yours!
I have taken care of animals since I was little and am proud dog parent to a 7 year old lab/pit mix named Graham. I am a graduate student with your dog’s safety and enrichment as my #1 focus. I hope to work together to give you time back in your day and bring joy to your pet!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mary was amazing- she went above and beyond to follow some special instructions that I left for her to care for my pet. She was punctual and a great communicator and I got a very cute video of my baby at the end of the visit. She remembered to give the keys back to my doorman, which was great. Everything went super smoothly while I was away for a day. I came home to a well fed animal. Thank you so much, Mary!
Mary thank you so much for your timeliness, your detailed description of the walk, for being so caring toward Newman and for picking up on his cues. We really appreciate having you walk him and would love to have you work with him again!
You know when you leave your dog for the weekend and she smells BETTER when you pick her up?! My dog so clearly had a great time with Mary (and her pup Graham!). Mary kept me updated throughout with such great photos, was communicative when needed, and is clearly just so great with dogs. My dog is… big and easily excited, so I worry about walkers/sitters keeping everyone safe on walks and dealing with the pulling. Mary had no issue with this, mostly because I think she’s such a calming and confident presence for my pup. Thanks Mary!!
Mary Ellen is a caring, empathetic dog owner of many years and I would trust her implicitly to care for my, my best friend's, and even my worst enemy's pets.
Mary Ellen is a dog owner and dog lover. Her dog happens to be the happiest I've ever met. To me, this is the surest sign that she is a GREAT dog walker and/or sitter. Mary Ellen treats dogs well. She is also punctual -- a bonus!
Mary Ellen is one of the most caring, dependable people I know. I've seen how she is with her own dog, and it's the attention, the patience, the way she just knows what he needs. That's not something you can fake. She's the type who shows up and follows through, and any dog in her care is going to be well loved.

Pets
A typical day
I love to keep dogs engaged and stimulated on walks by letting them sniff and enjoy nature (even in the urban jungle!) I shower them with plenty of encouragement.
