Pet care experience

Dedicated & compassionate care

Hello! I’m a huge animal lover & have owned cats, ferrets, a mouse, guinea pigs, a cockatiel & dogs over the years. I especially have a lot of experience w snow dogs & recognize the need for adequate exercise for the safety of the house and all objects dwellings inside it 🤪 I have done many drop ins & walks for pets of friend's & family. I will provide dedicated & compassionate care for any furry friend. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. For walks, I offer an hour hike on our beautiful, local trails for your pup to get a good work out while enjoying the scents & sights of the woods. I have experience w big dogs as well reactive dogs. For reactive dogs, I offer walks in secluded areas where there’s less of a chance for unwanted encounters.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a loving & safe environment for any animals under my care. My dogs are part of our family & I will treat anyone’s pets like my own family, as I recognize how valuable they are to us & the happiness they bring. I will listen attentively to any special care or concerns you have about your pet & would love to get to know them & for them to know & trust me so they are completely comfortable & confident in my care. I’m also happy to negotiate prices when it comes to multiple animal care.

Mary did a great job with my cat Bubba. She visited during the preferred time slot, completed all of the care-taking tasks and provided me an update each day. I would definitely have her take care of Bubba again.

Mary is amazing! We have had her check in in our cats a few times now and she always keeps us up to date on their status, even when they may not come out and say hi. Absolutely recommend having her check in on your pets!

Mary did a wonderful job with our two girls! She kept us updated on her visits with the dogs. Mary gave us a piece of mind that our dogs would be well cared for and we are so grateful! We are happy to recommend Mary to our friends and others!

Mary is a patient soul! My dog was not on his best behavior for her, and she still managed to get a walk in! I appreciated the feedback after the visits, also. Great communication and I can tell she really loves animals! I Highly recommend Mary!
