Pets

Stimulating mind is a happy dog!

Pet care experience

Black lab, golden retriever, border collie, the chocolate lab, pit bull, and Jack Russell terror are the dogs I had while growing up for 20+ years! After my first year internship here in Alaska, I ended up rescuing a dog of my own and trained her to become a service dog for myself. Truly, I enjoyed teaching her different tricks and tasks. Teaching dogs doing a certain trick and stimulating their mind worn them out, and they are eager to do more! Endless to say, I love dogs and their own unique personality. If I am out with your dog walking, I might end up teaching it a trick or two in between to surprise you after it returned back to you! Looking forward to meeting your dog!

Mary is great! Reliable and a good communicator. She wasn’t phased by my specific instructions for how to navigate and avoid dog encounters while walking my reactive dog. Absolutely recommend.

Mary was great! Easy going, flexible, good communication. I plan to use her for future dog walks for sure.

Mary has excellent communication - providing good summaries of her visits and walks with my pup. She made sure to include some play time into the walk as well which I’m sure my pup has greatly appreciated. She also followed all the directions I left behind for food, water, etc. and will check in as needed for anything that was missed during the meet and greet.
