As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

Information Mary R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog or cat has any special needs and I'll be happy to help in every possible way. One of my dogs is deaf and has thyroid issues, and I've spent many years with senior dogs and cats, as well as those with injuries who need extra gentle care. I can administer any meds needed, and anything extra I can do, so you can be at peace and worry-free while you're unable to be there.

A typical day

I look forward to playing with, walking and loving your pets while they're in my care. My own dogs and cats are very energetic and I love playing with them, whether it's a walk in the park for the dogs, fetching a ball or other toys or playing chase. I have so much love and attention to give to each and every pet.

Mary is the best! We appreciate her help while we were in the hospital having our second child. Our dogs were well taken care of and she even took our trash cans back (thank you!!).

Mary is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She provided exceptional, top-tier service and was incredibly caring and responsible with our cat. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable, loving hands. She is professional, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond. Highly, highly recommended!

We couldn’t be happier with the care that Mary provides for our dog. Bodger aka Huevo absolutely loves her and it’s clear that Mary genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our changing work schedules which has been such a help Because our dog is a rescue finding someone we could completely trust was extremely important to us. Mary exceeded our expectations and gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. Knowing Huevo is safe and happy and well cared for when we’re away is priceless. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a dependable and caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
