Mary was amazing! She was on time and took very good care of Bailey. She checked in and provided updates throughout her stay that enabled us to really enjoy our outing. We highly recommend! Will use Mary again with the highest confidence.

Mary stayed with our boys for two nights. When we returned, the boys were safe and happy, and the house was clean. We truly appreciate your help. We’ll definitely reach out again in the future.

Mary was super helpful, communicative, and detail-oriented. She helped us with our 3 dogs, and they are a lot of work. She followed instructions and asked questions to make sure she did exactly how we prefer things. Having 2 seniors and 1 puppy, this is extremely important. She handled everything well when one of our dogs broke the doggie gate. We appreciate Mary, and we will be using her services again in the near future!

We were so glad to have Mary stay in our home with our dog, Holly, while we were away. Mary took Holly on multiple walks and sent lots and lots of pictures. She provided several detailed updates through the day, including what activities they did together, how much Holly ate, her mood, and even her bathroom activity. She was punctual to the minute and left the house very clean. She also alerted us immediately about a leak coming through our ceiling. She dried what she could, gave updates on the status, and even got an expert opinion from a family member about what might have caused it. You really couldn’t find a better person to care for your pet (and home) while you’re away!

Schedule

🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home Tuesday through Friday, giving me plenty of flexibility to walk and spend quality time with your furry family member. I’m also available on weekends! I’m an active person who loves hiking and going for walks, but I also enjoy quiet time reading on the couch, so whether your pet is playful or prefers to chill, they’ll feel right at home with me.

Safety, trust & environment

🐾 I live in a spacious, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment in a safe building with plenty of green space and a well-maintained, fenced-in dog park. Perfect for walks and playtime! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I always follow their routine closely. I’m passionate about keeping pets comfortable and happy, so I make sure to stick to any instructions or schedules you provide to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience for your furry friend. 💛

Pets

A typical day

🐾 Whether we’re going for long walks, exploring the neighborhood, playing with toys, or just soaking up the sunshine at the dog park, I love keeping pets happy and engaged. If your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m equally happy to curl up on the couch for cuddle time or keep them company while I read. I always tailor activities to your pet’s personality, whether they’re high-energy or a total couch potato, we’ll have a great time together!

🐾 I always want to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and understood, so it’s helpful to know ahead of time about any routines, quirks, allergies, medical needs, or triggers (like loud noises or other dogs). I also love knowing their favorite toys, treats, and what makes them feel most comfortable whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a certain walking route they love. The more I know, the better I can care for them like they’re my own.
