Availability

Weekend availability: I run a lesson program Saturdays and am gone from around 7:30 -4:00, but would walk, feed and play with your pet before I leave and immediately when I return! Availability May-July : i work part time at a ranch in Longmont so during the summer there are days I would be gone for a few hours but you’re animals would get care in the morning, late afternoon and evening! During the school year (August-May) I would be gone during the day 7:30-3:30 or so with some Flexibility depending where your home is- but again your pet would be walked fed and loved in the morning before I leave, when I return and again before bed! **Most of my clients get a neighbor or family member to do a mid day walk and check-in to help remove any stress of their pets being left for too long** And I encourage you to reach out to ask , I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible to allow for you to find another walker/sitter. I love going on long walks and hikes and playing fetch!

Love going on all the walks. Can be go go go or stop and smell everything. Lots of pets and positive affirmations. Tug of war, fetch, or just lay around and get belly rubs. Lots of brushing and grooming if your pet likes it!

Mary did a wonderful job with our quirky pup! She also took great care of our plants during our 12-day trip. She sent daily photos and videos of our pup being well-loved and gave us peace of mind during our travels. 😊

We came home to a happy pup and a clean house - Mary is super thoughtful … she even took out of trash cans when she saw it was trash day! We booked her again for a longer international trip. :)

Mary took great care of my kitties! She was super communicative, sent lots of pictures. I saw she moved a lot of toys around and when I came home saw she had tied up some of their pipe cleaners to hang on things for the cats to play with! She even brought her own trash bag the first day for the cat litter! I would highly recommend booking with Mary.

Almost don’t want to leave a great review because we’ve struck gold and want to keep Mary to ourselves!! She went above and beyond in every aspect and clearly cares so deeply for animals. Trustworthy, responsive, kind + left the house even cleaner than we left it. Our very anxious pups were calmer than we’ve seen them in a long time. Speaks worlds to how great she is. 10/10!!
