About Mary H.

Safety, trust & environment
I seek to make your dog feel comfortable and loved, whether they’re staying with me or I’m at your home. I’ve been a dog mom to pups that had both serious physical and mental health issues … so I understand that care, attention and patience are the way to make a dog feel safe when their parents are gone. I love to take dogs on walks or to the dog park to help them get energy out, too! :)
Information Mary H. would like to know about your pet
I prefer small to medium dogs, but am comfortable with all sizes. Please let me know if your love has any special needs or anxiety triggers. I’m want your pup to feel comfortable and loved with me :)
A typical day
I have a beautiful, pet friendly park near my house, love to play catch and enjoy giving a good belly rub. I’m also an expert at tug-of-war. ;)

Pet care experience
I am a dog lover for 20+ years with lots of experience. My family had four dogs growing up. And I have adopted 3 rescue dogs with various health, anxiety and other unique qualities. That means I have a lot of experience with dogs who need extra care and patience! I love walking, cuddling and playing with dogs of all kinds, and don't get squimish about the "presents" they sometimes leave behind. I am responsible, patient, reliable and loving. You will receive texts and photos during the visit, and I’m happy to accommodate any special needs as well (medicine, pee pads, food instructions, etc.) My favorite activities include playing catch and giving a good belly rub. Also happy to take care of your beloved cat :) Hablo Español. Favorite breeds: Labradors, poodle mixes, schnauzers and terriers, bulldogs and adorable mutts.
Reviews
Mary is THE BEST. Always helpful and Luna loves her. I was in a little bind with a last minute request - No Problem!
She is a great walker, however my golden retriever was a bit too excitable for here. She still completed the full hour long walk.
Mary is a very thoughtful when it comes to my dogs! I know my dogs are going to be safe when she comes over and I know that they enjoy her company. I have continued to use Mary for the last few months and have not had any complaints. I would highly recommend her.
Mary did a fabulous job staying with our older boxer/lab, Charlotte! We drove out to Illinois from the East Coast and needed someone to watch her in our hotel room while we were out for the evening with friends. Charlotte was at ease with Mary and was very contented and happy when we returned. Mary was a complete delight, very smart, capable and friendly. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a trusted sitter for their beloved pet.
