After accepting a job I like to meet the owner and pet in advance and talk to the owner in regards to finding out as much information about their pets schedule, needs, behavior, personality and so on to ensure a successful experience. I can’t wait to get started to meet and care for your dog!

Information Mary H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much information about your dog as possible. For instance if he is taking any medications, his energy level, feeding and snack schedule, his exercise routine, where he likes to go for walks, other pets in the neighborhood he likes or dislikes, his favorite toys, where he likes to be petted, where he likes to sleep and anything else that makes him feel more comfortable and even uncomfortable inside and outside of his house.

A typical day

Depending on the health of your dog I would love to take your dog on a long walk around the neighborhood or even go to the local park. Or if you would rather your pet stay in your own backyard we could still have a great time playing catch or just running around.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Mary. I have had a dog in my life since I was 9 years old. I have had experience with many breeds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I have also taken care of handicap dogs including assisting with medications. I work for a school district and I love when parents are dropping their kids off at school and they bring their dog(s) with them. I have to go to the car and give them a scratch behind their ears and lots of love. I am as excited to see the dogs just as much as the students everyday. I like to go on many walks and whenever I see a dog I have to stop and say Hello. They always put a big smile on my face. I will also send you a daily update thru a text or email with a picture of your pet and how he or she is doing.

Mary was simply amazing! She loved over both my babies, took them on walks, let me know when they used the bathroom and drank, sent many photos. Not only did she look over both dogs, but she also helped with my pup who is potty training. I would highly recommend Mary and will be requesting her help in the future.

I am very happy with the care Mary gave my dog on their walk. She is prompt and a good communicator.

Mary is wonderful. She first offered to come by for a couple meet and greets which I loved she took time out of her day to do that. She communicates well, very kind, and flexible. I will absolutely hire Mary again in the future for dog walking!
