Pet care experience

dog lover with too much free time!

Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two Australian Shepherds and now help care for my family's two Aussies. Having been around dogs my whole life, I'm comfortable with pups of all ages, but I especially love caring for puppies and keeping them happy, active, and entertained. I recently finished graduate school, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether that's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. What sets me apart is my experience with energetic dogs, my genuine love for animals, and the time I can dedicate to your pet. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own and make sure they have a fun, comfortable stay while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets in my care. I engage your pet in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. This can include walks, interactive toys, and games tailored to their energy levels and needs. I provide individual attention and affection to each pet, ensuring they feel loved and secure during their stay. I strive to maintain a consistent routine for your pet by following their regular schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I maintain open and regular communication with you as the pet owner, providing updates on your pet's well-being, activities, and any concerns or questions that may arise.

Birdy absolutely loves Mary! It can be so hard to find someone that your dog wants to be around as much as you, but she’s our girl! She is patient, kind, and helpful! We trust her so much with Birdy and our home. We are so glad to have her around!

I had the pleasure of hiring Mary as my dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Mary is a reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring individual who provided exceptional care for my dog, Obi. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Her experience, dedication, and love for animals make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking reliable and compassionate pet care. I am grateful for the exceptional service Mary provided, and I will undoubtedly turn to her again for future pet sitting needs.

I recently finished a Master's program, so I am taking some time off before starting a job. This means I have flexibility in my schedule and I can be accessible for walks or check-ins at any time of the day!

Mary can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If there is anything unique to your pet's care/routine I’d love to know! If they are treat or toy motivated I can incorporate that into our activities!
