Pet care experience

Calm, Reliable Care for Dogs & Cats

I provide reliable, attentive dog walking with a focus on safety, consistency, and each dog’s individual needs. I have hands-on experience walking dogs of varying sizes and energy levels through clients, friends and family, and I’m comfortable managing different walking styles, from leisurely strolls to more active walks. I’m very detail-oriented and take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions. I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive, calm interactions so dogs feel secure and comfortable during their walks. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are. I’m dependable, respectful of schedules, and provide updates so owners feel confident their dog is well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety and trust on every walk. I carefully follow owner instructions, use secure leashes and harnesses, stay aware of surroundings, and ensure dogs are returned safely with clear updates provided after each walk.

Mary’s kindness and thoughtfulness shine through in everything she does, and she brings that same caring nature to every animal she encounters. Mary is extremely responsible and reliable, and someone you can trust with your beloved pet. Though she currently has two cats due to apartment constraints, she clearly misses having canine companions in her life and will pour genuine love and attention into every walk. I would trust Mary completely with any dog, and I know she will treat each one as if it were her own.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I've worked side Mary for years, so I've been able to observe her as a responsible professional, a trusted pet caregiver, and an enthusiastic animal lover. Mary frequently watches the pets of our colleagues and of friends, many who have returned to her time and time again. She is very attuned to pets' needs, offering patience and respectful boundaries when they are shy and need time to build trust - and conversely, offers affection and play when a pet wants companionship. But most importantly, Mary is a devoted pet owner herself. Anyone who knows Mary knows how fiercely she loves and cares for her cats, and that she truly understands the level of care that an owner expects for their pets.

Mary is an absolute gem. She’s kind, responsible, and genuinely loves animals, and it truly shows in the care she gives. I felt completely at ease trusting her with my fur baby and knew she was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and give her my highest recommendation.

Mary is an excellent, loving and responsible pet caregiver. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much they love her. Mary is extremely trustworthy, kind, friendly and is a very good communicator. I highly recommend Mary as a pet caregiver. Animals are extremely important to Mary. Your pets will be very lucky to have her.
