Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog sitter that WFH!
Used to taking dog on walks to get exercise and to parks! Will not just let your dog out in the yard. I have taken care of family dogs since I was little, but I adopted my own fur-baby 8 years ago. He was in and out of foster homes, so he had very little manners and had a trust issues. I taught him basic tricks (stay, sit, be gentle, lay down, heel etc) at the age of 4. The hardest part was teaching him how to trust people. Through all that, I know that every dog is different and you cannot be carefree when it comes to the responsibility of taking care of a dog. As you can see from my photos, my dog ran the house, all decisions (going out, trips, walks) had him at top priority. I currently do not have any pets, my dog passed away in 2022, so I am missing my dog fix but not ready to get another pet.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mary and John are the best. They’ve watched my dog, Hudson, for years and always take wonderful care of him. It’s hard to leave your pup, but made easier when you know they’re in great hands.
Murphy had a wonderful stay with Murphy and was in great spirits when we returned. A really great first time stay with Mary when our regular dog sitter was out of town. We will definitely use them again!
Our anxious rescue had a great time with Mary! We got lots of pictures and videos, and our pup came home happy and well cared for. Thank you so much!
Chase had a great time and we got lots of cute updates. Thank you!
Great updates with pictures and videos through the stay! Thank you!
Mac had the best time at Mary’s! Drop off was super easy and I heard from her every day on how things were going. Thank you!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live less than 1/2 a mile from a long walking trail and park area, with a small trail right behind my home. I will treat your pet like my own, at least 3 walks a day, tons of toys to play with and spoiled with love and treats (upon owners approval).
A typical day
Guaranteed to take you pup on at least 3 walks a day. Always taking different routes to allow to new smells. In 1/2 mile from 3 different dog parks to bring them to and multiple at home interactive dog toys for dogs to play with, including standard toys. Love being able to take your special pup to grab a bit to eat/coffee shop and enjoy the fresh air.

- Having experience with my reactive dog, PLEASE let me know if any special instructions, needs or bewares that you know of with your dog. I’ve always error on the side of caution when it comes to dogs interacting with other dogs/people, but a heads up is very appreciated.
