Experienced DogMom/Expert Snuggler
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m Mary, a devoted dog mom of over four years, with more than a decade of experience caring for pups of all ages. Let me look after your pooch and provide them with snuggles while you’re away! I grew up around canines, and I can’t remember a time during my childhood that I wasn’t surrounded by them. I have experience caring for both puppies and elderly dogs, and most of the time, I honestly prefer a pet’s company over a person’s! I have a four-year-old angel baby named Daisy. She’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and is just about the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. She gets along with all of our furry guests and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. I currently work part-time as a high school English teacher and tutor. Monday through Thursday, I usually only work four or five hours, and I’m almost always home by 3:00 p.m. on those days. My Fridays are generally open, and on the weekends, I’m 100 percent available for pet care. If you’re looking for someone to board your pup for a long weekend, I can guarantee I’ll be able to commit. I’m a responsible, loving, and empathetic person. I believe that all of these traits are integral to my identity. I am, first and foremost, an animal lover.
Reviews
This is our second time having Python with Mary. It was a great experience both for Python and us. Mary is very easy to communicate and flexible. She took good care of Python and we could tell from the photos she sent everyday that Python was very happy. I will definitely leave Python with her next time if she is available.
Mary is perfect!
Mary was such a great sitter! She sent daily updates and pictures of our pooch while we were away and was always super quick to respond! Our pup had a great time with her (and her dog, Daisy!) and we'll definitely book with Mary again!
Mary is a very nice and patient sitter. We are very pleasant to have our dog with her. She sent us photos and videos almost everyday during the stay. Also, our dog was making troubles at the very beginning of the stay. Mary was very patient to talk to us and solved the problems. We are very happy with the stay. Thank you, Mary.

Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet
Dogs under 30 pounds or so pounds are my preference, but I’ll gladly consider larger pups on a case-by-case basis. Non-aggressive canines are a plus, too! I’m also happy to accommodate a more energetic dog; just let me know the specifics beforehand. I can take on puppies as well –– I have extra pee pads I can provide for them.
A typical day
When your pet stays with me, we’ll spend some time on my apartment's rooftop area. It has a mini dog park and dog run as well as sunshine, fresh air, and lots of space. We’ll also take frequent walks around my neighborhood. We might head to the South Lake Union area, including Cascade dog park, the boat harbor, or even the Capital Hill area if we’re feeling adventurous and up for an extra-long walk. I’ll provide your pooch with treats (with your approval, of course), and we’ll play games, including fetch with a squeaky tennis ball. I will love your fur baby as if they’re my own and treat them like part of the family. I’m more than happy to snuggle with them on the couch or bed, and they’re welcome to sleep on it as well. If you book with me, I will be sure to send you tons of photos throughout the day, along with any other updates you might require.
