Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.

Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Mary was amazing with our dog, Kobe! This was our first time leaving him with someone who wasn’t family, and she immediately put us at ease. She sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos each day, and it was clear he was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!
Mary helped us feel at ease from the start. Day one of being with our dog, she sent us pictures that let us know our girl was in good hands and was happy. A pic and/or video came daily with a report on how she was doing. We feel at ease with Mary, and will definitely want to book with her again. Five stars for Mary!!
Mary took great care of our girl. This was the first time we had to leave her with anyone else so we were a little worried. Ms Dolly was treated like she was at home. She got lots of walks in, which I know she loved. If we need a sitter again we would choose Mary, if she would take Dolly again.
Thank you, Mary! We really appreciate your care and kindness towards our poochie-pup. She feels so comfortable while staying with you and we never have any concerns.
