Information Mary K. would like to know about your pet

I have a short questionnaire I will send you about your dog before the visit so I can get all the information I need. It would include stuff like feeding amounts, timing, how they like to play, how much exercise do they usually get.

A typical day

I love teaching dogs new tricks, it seems to give them so much joy. I love going for long walks in my neighborhood and it's always more fun with a buddy.

Mary has done walks and watched our dog when we are gone either for the day or weekend and we could not be happier with the experience. She truly loves our pup and we know she is in good hands. At first our dog can be protective with new people, but Mary was patient, gentle and took the time to earn our dogs trust. We receive updates, including pictures and messages, which we loved. Every-time we come to pick our dog up she is happy and clearly well-cared for. We would absolutely use Mary again and recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, responsible, and loving dog sitter!

Mary is a dog person. Some people are people who WORK with dogs and some are just dog PEOPLE. Mary is the type of caretaker that wants to see pictures of your pup and talk about them; in fact, she kinda puts the "care" in caretaker. I've left my dog with her numerous time while out of town and my dog had the best time with Mary - she has a super spacious home and a lot of love give the animals she looks after. I've recommended her to friends already who feel the same way. And the best part is that I never once worry when I'm out of town that everything is going to be ok because I know it is. Highly recommend!

I've had Mary watch my fur babies on several occasions. From quick weekend trips to longer trips out of the country, she is reliable, trustworthy and honest. Its really nice to be able to get away and know that she is taking care of all of my animals so that I dont have to worry. She also provides proof of life pictures so that I never have to wonder if everything is OK. 10 stars! I highly recommend using Mary when you need a pet sitter!

Mary is absolutely incredible. She has taken care of our two dogs multiple times, and each experience has been seamless. She follows their schedule and eating habits closely, takes them on walks, and always keeps us updated with pictures and notes—whether they're snoozing or out exploring. Our dogs are both rescues and usually need time to warm up to new people, but with Mary, it's different. Whether we’re dropping them off at her place or she’s coming to our home, they’re always thrilled to see her. She truly treats them like her own. Mary is a joy to work with, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
