Great for Nurses/Doctors/Vacations

Pet care experience

I'm Mary. I'm a recent college grad and am working from home for a local start up, so I have a flexible schedule, and thought that the ideal work break would be spending time with dogs! I make my own schedule so I'm especially great for people with long or unpredictable shifts who could use some extra flexibility with changing schedules. I'm reliable and dependable and have been doing this for years now with many repeat clients. I've cared for 6 week old puppies to dogs with medical conditions to larger dogs to cats with varying degrees of friendliness (& chickens too!). I'm a very active and fit person so I'd enjoy running with your dog, playing with them, and generally getting us both a good workout. I'm a down to earth, dependable and easygoing human looking to fit some play time in my day :) *Note* as of Aug 2022, I am full up on weekly repeating walks. I do have open availability for those on vacation or those who need a fill in or back up here or there tho!

Mary was amazing with our two cats! She was super responsive during her visits and we knew our girls were in good hands. Thanks, Mary!

Mary once again took very great care of Marceline! She was very communicative, sent great pictures, and made sure the beast’s picky dinner routine was met.

I take detailed notes during every meet and greet and then review them before/during the walks or check ins to make sure I'm not forgetting anything important.

Information Mary W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know: If your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Where to dispose of poop bags/litter. If there's anything around the house that needs to be done especially for those on vacation- bringing in mail, watering plants, etc.

A typical day

Of course every walk/check in is different depending on the needs of the owner/pet, but generally: Dogs: walks around your neighborhood, playing inside (especially on rainy days), giving food/water, reinforcing behaviors the owner is trying to instill Cats: playtime with toys, talking to them, lots of pets and cuddles (if they let me), food/water/litter I always try to get good photos, so there's always a little mini photoshoot component too. Every walk/check in includes photos and a note about how it went.
