I'm taking a few months off work so my schedule is wide open. I'm also earning an MSW but class is remote so even on days when I have school pet sitting isn't a problem,

Information Mary M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of your dog has special needs or takes medication beforehand. There are a lot of dogs in my building so it would also be helpful to know if your dog gets along well with other dogs.

A typical day

Head scratches, fetch, and walks are all easy to work into the agenda. We can explore the neighborhood and stop to investigate all the smells.

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household with rabbits, cats, and dogs. I let them sense my energy and know that I'm a safe person. I will also do pet portraits for an extra fee if interested.

Mary was fantastic with Tako, providing pictures and ensuring that she was taken care of, despite the obviously incredibly scary thunderstorm.

Mary is a born animal lover. She grew up with dogs, cats and rabbits. When she isn't spending time with family and friend's dogs and cats, she draws and paints animal portraits. She spends a lot of time walking and would be a wonderful companion for your pet on far-ranging walks around town. She has cared for my dog many times and I usually would find them snuggled up on the couch when I return home.
