Information Mary W. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has special needs I’m happy to take notes and have a schedule to keep them on. My mom has an older lab that I help with and takes medicine and understand dogs need vitamins or special care sometimes. I am happy to help

A typical day

Doggy day care 2-3x a week at a 5 acre property - there is fenced and no fenced areas, depending on dog “recall” can have them in multiple areas running with other doggy friends. - Walks and runs and hikes and dog park visits! Long walks around the neighborhood, driveling them to get pup-cups, walks along the waterfront in Tacoma.

Pet care experience

I love animals, especially dogs. We have 2 a black labradoodle-Hudson and black lab-Hilda. Both of them LOVE all other dogs, and always happy to have any company on walks or over night stays. I do doggy daycare 2-3x a week taking a group of pups to Edgewood to run around on 5 acres at my parents property. Fenced and no fenced areas, so any dog is safe having fun running around getting their energy out and playing with friends 🐶🐾🐕🐕‍🦺 For walks, I can do a standard walk or run if you would like your dog to have more of a workout. I live in a great neighborhood so would be happy to walk them around here or closer to home. I have dog sat and done regularly scheduled walks in the past. I love going to the dog park so I can take the dog with me to go there if they have a lot of energy and like that experience. I can also help with giving medicine, schedule feedings etc.

Mary took my dog in for boarding last minute and was extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with! She was very flexible and helped me out in a pinch. Ollie was wiped at pick up and it was clear he had a great time at her house with her dogs 😊

Mary offered to help me with dogsitting last minute. She was thorough and you could tell she had a heart for animals. She has two of the cutest black labs that were very friendly to my puppy. Would definitely recommend Mary for future reference!!

I’m so grateful to Mary for taking in my dog Cali on such short notice. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cali had a great time playing with her sweet and well-behaved dogs — it truly felt like a little doggy vacation for her! I can’t thank Mary enough and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Max had a great stay with Mary and her family over Christmas! I was so worried and upset to have to leave him over the holidays, but Mary sent me lots of photos and videos of Max having an excellent time running around with her and her family's dogs and getting plenty of love and attention. It sounds like he got extra special attention from her mom and got some good couch snuggles in with everyone. Mary was also so accommodating with pick up and drop off times to work around my non ideal flight times. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her in the future!
