Pet care experience
I have four years of petsitting experience along with a year of dogwalking experience. I also regularly volunteer to walk dogs at a local shelter. Most of my pet care and sitting experience comes from taking care of 5 boxer dogs periodically for three years while in college, sometimes for up to one month at a time. I've also sat and cared for dogs for whole summers, including giving them daily walks. I love animals and dogs in particular, and I think it is important to have a pet sitter who cares for the well-being of your pet as much as you do. I grew up with dogs and know the extent to which they become a part of your family, and if you were to entrust your pet's care to me, please know they would be in loving, capable, and caring hands.
Reviews
Mary was very helpful and responsive, and she took great care of our puppy in her drop in visit. She also took some very adorable pictures.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who loves dogs as much as Mary does! She is kind, responsible, and reliable. She walks and watches my dog Lola when I am out of town, and we couldn't be happier with her service!

Safety, trust & environment
I do everything I can to ensure that pets are happy, comfortable, and content. To help with that, I follow their schedule of walks, meal times, playtime, medications (if needed), and provide whatever else they need.
Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet
Before dog sitting, I would like to know what the dog's "normal" looks like, so I can tell if the dog is exhibiting behaviors that show anxiety, stress, or something else out of the ordinary. Just as I want you to be comfortable with me taking care of your pet, I also want the dog to be comfortable. While I love all dogs, I do have a soft spot for large breeds because I grew up with boxers!
A typical day
We'll go on neighborhood walks and to nearby parks. I’ll also do whatever activities your dog particularly enjoys, including playing with their favorite toys to make them as happy and comfortable as possible.

Availability
