Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog and cat caretaker
I grew up always in the country and always had family cats and dogs, and was involved in pet care and training from a young age. I adopted my cat three years ago and enjoy pet sitting both cats and dogs! I have experience with walking and caring for reactive dogs as well.
Cat care experience
Mary also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Gentle but firm approach, always on leash unless in a known, enclosed area. Exercise and enrichment are a priority for me, as well as outdoor time for dogs.
Ratings and reviews
It’s always a pleasure working with Mary. My nervous dog absolutely loves her. I always know he’s in good hands when he’s with her.
Glad we could rebook Mary for another dog walk. We have a happy & tired dog!
We would definitely recommend Mary’s dog walking services! She was on-time and quick to respond to messages. Thanks Mary!
Booked Mary to walk Bolt for another week. If ever I need to book a dog walker again, Mary would be my first choice, hands down!
Mary is amazing! Bolt is sometimes nervous around people but he took to her right away. She is punctual and communicated regularly during her time with us.
Mary is a great friend of mine, and is the cat sitter that I have relied on the most in the past year since I got my cats. I have tried several cat sitters, most of whom were also friends of mine, and I have had several bad experiences. Since i began relying on Mary to help out with my cats, I have had no issues, concerns, or stress from my cat-sitting situation. Mary is always reliable and is able to follow the instructions that I leave. My cats are currently on a diet, as I overfed them as a first-time pet owner. They beg quite dramatically, and she is always good to stick to the meal plan. Both of my cats are rescues, and one of them has always been more of a cat's cat than a people cat. Mary is excellent with managing both of my cats and handling their individual needs. I am yet to throw something at Mary that she does not handle reliably, professionally, and properly. I would highly recommend Mary as a pet sitter. I have never had issues with her reliablity, knowledge, skills, or punctuality. She is excellent at communicating when my cats do something stupid (like eat the garbage while I'm at work or get lost behind the dishwasher again), and she is excellent at handling the situations that arise from the weird things that my cats do. I plan on continuing to use Mary as a cat-sitter for the forseeable future, including when I have to dump my cats somewhere when I move in a few months. I trust Mary to take care of them while I am busy and stressed with the move, just as I trust her with all of my cat-sitting needs.
