Lifelong dog caretaker and trainer
Pet care experience
Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I can remember. As young as 12, I started dog- walking, sitting, grooming, and training dogs from dachshunds to Rottweiler mixes. I have experience with dog training, agility, and showmanship. Coworkers, friends, and family have depended on me to board, feed, walk, and more.
Reviews
Came back to happy and healthy pups (one of whom is typically very skittish so needs a patient dog whisperer) and a clean & tidy apartment! Would definitely book with Mary again!
Mary was great with Griffin. Took him on walks and to the dog park. Answered quickly when setting things up.
Mary is wonderful! She took good care of Waffles. I enjoyed hearing from her about Waffles walks.
Excellent sitter. Love that she took time to bring my boy to the dog park for him to enjoy the day. And he loved it. I have rides my boys, in addition to the daily walks. This is a plus. At the end of stay, my boy is refreshed, not stressed, and all smiles when I met him. Wonderful experience.

Safety, trust & environment
There is a dog park right by my place as well as miles of trails. My own dog is incredibly friendly, loves to play, and has been exposed to all types of dogs. Cuddles and play time are must, but so is following rules the owner has established. Dogs need attention and they need consistency.
Information Mary J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dogs have any special behaviors or needs. Knowing basic rules and their favorite toy can also ensure comfort and fun.
A typical day
Mental and physical stimulation is so important! Like I do with my own and have in the past, I like to incorporate games, walks, and quality pet and praise. If your dog is social, I love going to the local dog park. High energy dogs can enjoy some time at the dog park as well as a long walk or run. I’m also a huge fan of playing soccer and chase. Less social dogs can enjoy some quality one-on-one time with games and quieter walks.
