I’ll run and play brain games!

Pet care experience

I have worked as a dog runner,walker,pet sitter, and with dog behavior. I only use force-free, positive reinforcement and have had successful experiences working with dogs of all sizes, ages, focus levels, and special needs. As a pet sitter/boarder my goal is to maintain your pet’s schedule in order to make it the least stressful it can be. This can include regular walks, playtime, and medicine! We can play games to engage their mind, work on focus, learn how to have a softer mouth while taking treats, learn impulse control, and more! The hardest part about pet sitting is definitely leaving after you return home! I find that I always make a connection with the clients I work with and it leaves me looking forward to our next visit. I have a very open availability and am happy to accommodate your pet’s needs over holidays and weekends.

Mary was absolutely fantastic to our grumpy little dog. From going out of her way to meeting our pooch a week before the drop off to being so kindly willing to keep our grump bump an extra night after a last-minute change, Mary was a perfect puppy-sitter!

Mary was beyond fantastic! We needed a dog sitter in house with not a lot of notice and she stepped right up! Immediately responded to my inquiry, hopped on a call w me that night. And even came out the next afternoon to meet my husband and Oni dog. Oni is reactive so we wanted to be sure Mary was fully prepared and knew the lay of land - and she took the time and effort to do so. It was SO appreciated. We were out of the country for a week and Mary had the condo to herself. She sent pics and updates every day. And even did Oni's favorite activity: laying in the sun on the porch. :) She watered my plants! (Right?!) And even tossed the towels in the wash before she left (which she totally didn't have to do but was super sweet). I'm sad I didn't meet her but we will definitely be requesting her again in the future!

Mary was able to accommodate a last minute request — really saved us! She has easy, great communication (super fast responses), sent updates & pics, and our pup came back super happy. We’ll definitely use Mary again! :)

Mary was awesome with Avon. She understands and recognizes dog behaviors and was super helpful with some anxiety issues that Avon was having. She was awesome and I never worried about his safety or happiness. Will definitely use her again, and am very helpful for the training tips she provided!

Information Mary W. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to know any triggers, allergies/sensitivities, manners you are working on at home (and what you’re doing to learn them), and any other information you’d like to provide for me.

A typical day

I live very close to the Atlanta Beltline and several parks. While I won’t be taking your dog to off-leash areas, we can still have tons of fun going on a run or learning with engagement games.
