Pet care experience
Trusted Care When You're Away
I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra support. I am also experienced with dogs with behavioral challenges. With a background in the mental health field, I bring a calm, compassionate approach to pet care, grounded in patience and an understanding that behavior is a form of communication. I take time to build trust and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each pet’s routine and space, and I always follow any specific instructions provided—whether that’s leading pets to their designated areas, managing feeding schedules, or crating when needed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away, all while keeping your home tidy and routines consistent.
Ratings and reviews
Mary was great with our senior dog. Mary is reliable and very caring. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.
Mary is so caring to our new puppy. Always on time and very flexible if needed. I’m glad we found someone to help out.
She is the best dog walker there is. Comes on time and does just what you ask for would highly recommend
Mary has been taking care of my dog (Tobi) for years, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s reliable, kind, and truly loves animals! Whether it's daily walks, weekend stays, or last-minute requests, Mary always comes through. She sends regular updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. My dog is part of my family, and I trust Mary with him completely. I can't recommend her enough—she’s a gem!

Schedule
As a graduate student at Montclair State University, I’m local and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate extra time to pet care. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine—it’s a meaningful way for me to help out while spending time with animals I love. While each week in my schedule is slightly different, please feel free to reach out with your preferences so we can find a schedule that works best for both of us. I’m happy to be flexible and work around what you and your pet need.
