I work from home so my days are open. (October 2025) Now that temps have gone down I am doing morning, afternoon and evening walks. I am also equipped to do rainy day walking. Pup must provide their own raincoat or not, if they don't mind getting wet. Either way paws and body will get a towel rub down after the walk. Equipped for walking at night if your pup is so inclined. Lighted collars, flashlights & headlamps for safety. Ask about my 1 hour dog park service. For cat care drop-ins, any day and any time between 7am to 9pm.

Safety, trust & environment

For walks I offer pics after walks to show a happy, tired and safe back home pup. Lighted collars, head lamps and flashlights are part of my gear so not only will we be safe but also stylin'. I prefer dogs to be 1 year old. Book me for 1 hour drop-in or walk and get my dog park special. For cat care I offer pics of clean cat boxes, filled water & food bowls. And if your feline companion allows it pics of playtime, pets or a stern look conveying their catitude. I carry my own pet business insurance on top of Rover's guarantee.

Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how to customize care for your pet companion. Favorite walking routes, playtime or even what to avoid. "Like that one dog down the way--he is always jelly that I get to go on walks." For canines - ask about my 1 hour dog park special.

A typical day

Playtime, brushing or just chilling watching YouTube for pets. Experienced ball thrower, belly rubber and cat lap pillow. Whether playtime or petting time I meet the needs of your fur baby. For 1 hour bookings I offer dog park outings. Night time walks include lighted collars, head lamps and flashlights for safety.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of my own dogs and cats for over 30 years. Friends and family have entrusted me with their fur babies innumerable times. I have worked at a kennel for 5 years. Walking, playing and cleaning up after cats and dogs is what I do.

My 2 dogs very much enjoyed their walks with Mary. She gave me some great tips and how to train my dogs from being strong pullers on walks. I will definitely use her again when I’m in the area!

I enjoyed working with Mary. She was attentive to the needs of Scully and kept me updated on her visits. She is very professional and goes above and beyond to ensure a good pet sitting experience. I would highly recommend Mary for future pet sittings.
