Safety, trust & environment

While caring for pets in your home, you have all the power! I will follow any and all house rules and only do what you ask of me. I am willing to follow strict schedules and detailed instructions for your animals’ care. I know how scary it can be to leave your pet, and I will do whatever possible to make it an enjoyable experience for you and your baby!

Information Mary M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any disabilities or behavioral problems that I should account for. Let me know if there is training or commands you’d like me to keep up with when caring for your critter. How is their temperament and activity level? How are they with other animals? Do they have allergies or phobias I should be aware of? Are there specific treats you’d like me to use with your animal? All of this is good information for me to know.

A typical day

Your dogs’ day is up to you and your pet! I am happy to accommodate any wants or needs for your animal. Walks, runs, playtime, enrichment, training, agility, or obedience practice — it’s all customizable for your animals’ unique personality!

Pet care experience

I have experience working with dogs big and small — from shih tzus and chihuahuas, to dobermans and pit bulls. On top of caring for friends’ and family’s pets, I also have years of volunteer and work experience in the animal care field. I’ve worked with animals of all ages — newborn puppies and kittens, and senior animals receiving end of life care. I am comfortable administering any medication your animal may require. I am willing to go the distance to make animals happy and meet their owners’ expectations. Extra long walks/runs, playtime, enrichment, overnight care, training/obedience practice — you name it! When your pet is in my care, their health, safety, and happiness is my #1 priority.

Mary was an excellent caretaker for Star while I was away. Star adores her and when I came home she was a very relaxed and mellow kitty. Mary sent me pics and videos of Star, while I was away, and left a peaceful vibe in her wake. I will definitely hire her again.

We've booked Mary several times to pet sit our dogs. She has been outstanding every time.

Mary was wonderful as always. She is great at providing updates and easing my mind while we travel! I would suggest her to anyone and will be hiring her for all our cat sitting needs :) Thanks Mary, you’re the best!
