Pet care experience
They’re your family, so let me treat them like family while you’re away! I have owned and cared for animals all of my life. I had Belle (cat) for my first 17 years and had my chocolate lab in 4-H by the time I was 10. When I lived in Sitka, Alaska, I was the on-call sitter, even caring for the local vet's 7 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 giant umbrella cockatoo (she was my favorite hiking buddy). I would typically live in my clients home and care for their dogs as if they were my own for up to 30 days at a time. Now I live in Coupeville with my own fur babies - Dobby the mastiff and Meow Meow the former garage kitty. I am very well versed in administering medications as Dobby and Brock, my late Doberman, require daily meds. I truly love spending my time with animals, of all kinds. I've cared for many species of animals from dogs & cats to chinchillas, chickens, and even a house pig. I've even raised baby salmon! I enjoy walking and prefer to have a furry friend by my side while I do! Many references available upon request.
Reviews
Mary did a wonderful job caring for Duke today! She even went above & beyond making sure he was properly hydrated. Would definitely have Mary care for Duke again!
Thanks again Mary!!
I trust Mary with my chickens. I’ve hired her several times, and am consistently happy with her.
Mary is always responsive to my travel plan changes and my kitties needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and live in a community that's great for walks! I also have a dog bath tub that I would be happy to give your pup a wash. If I'm visiting your animal at home, I am respectful and mindful - making sure to take care of your home as well as your pup/kitty/bird/etc.
Home
Information Mary T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special behaviors, characteristics, medical conditions, or allergies. I'm happy to work with pups who need extra attention, but must know all details in advance. It's also important for me to know your preferred commands if any or applicable.
A typical day
Walks, car rides, ferry rides, treats (as permitted), hikes at nearby trailheads, swimming (weather, preferences, etc.), enrichment (fetch, games, training per owner & animal preferences of course). For house sitting: I’m available to stay the night with one mid day check in. The other option is three check ins during the day. If you’d like round the clock service, please expect my rates to double. I’m happy to watch your dog all day in the comfort of your home or mine. If I am unable to leave your animal(s) unattended, I charge by the hour. For a full day (8-12 hours) and for me to not take on any additional clients day is $180 minimum.
