Animal lover and experienced walker

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Mary and I am a teacher on summer break and would love to spend time with animals in my free time! Currently, I have one small dog and a kitten, but I have had three other dogs with varying temperaments. I am most experienced working with dogs, but I love all other animals. I am very flexible and happy to work with whatever you and your pet need! Dog Walking: -Over 70 hours dog walking as a volunteer at shelters. -I am very active and happy to take your dog on as long or as short of walks as they need. -Experience with basic redirecting and training strategies. Drop In Visits: -Experience giving medicine to animals. -Experience with puzzles and enrichment activities for animals.

Thank you again for taking good care of Ginger, being mindful of the heat outside and making sure she is fed and hydrated.

Mary did a nice job helping us out on short notice to take Ginger, our 45lb Goldendoodle for a walk while we were at work.

Mary is the absolute best! She always sends me updates, pictures and videos of my animal when she stops in to see him. She is great at refilling his water bowl and makes sure that he has enough food. Your pet is in safe hands when Mary is there!

Information Mary W. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs! Before I meet a dog I would like to know about its temperament, how it walks on a leash, if it likes other dogs, if it likes strangers/ children, and what it likes to do for fun!

A typical day

I am happy to follow a set route if you would like me to, or I can switch it up so your dog gets to explore new areas! If your dog is super energetic I am happy to take it on a run or play with it outside!
