Pet care experience

Over 20 years Experiance With Pets.

I have worked for a Pet Groomer for over 15 years. I have spent many years training my dogs in Agility and basic obedience. I am looking for a more flexible schedule to be with my sons (who will sometimes be with me). I also have a large experience based knowledge of pet health and nutrition. I have always treated all animals as well as I treat my own. I have had three dogs at once, just recently having lost our two older dogs. I am able to handle more than one dog and have done puppy leash training and socialization for puppies. I am happy to help you with a new dog training or continue the training you currently use during our walks. I like to use treats to positively reinforce good behavior. I have been very helpful to customers in the past to resolve some behavioral issues with their pets and make them better family member.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all animals I work with the same as I would treat my own. I am happy to follow all instructions given by the owner and work with the pet on the same training systems that are in place. In most cases clients need some help in the training department, so I am happy to offer suggestions also. I do not allow dogs that I walk to greet unknown dogs.

Mary is great with our senior girl. She is always gentle and caring, even when our pup is slow and stubborn.

Mary was incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog. She took the time to earn my dog's trust, thoughtfully bringing treats to the meet and greet. Her dedication and gentle approach made all the difference. I highly recommend Mary—she’s fantastic!

I am happy to work with any breed and any age. I will also ask you where you keep cleaning supplies and location of your garbage Incase there is a mess when I arrive. Food allergies is also something I like to know because I often carry treats with me. Medical conditions or medical concerns are also important information. I will also ask about behavioral history and concerns.
