I have one dog of my own and he is a big scardy cat! He is big and scary looking but will only ever kill you with love ❤️ Have piece of mind knowing that I have knowledge of doggie CPR and heimlich maneuver if the need should arise. I'm a regular person just like you. I have no desire to be cruel to animals or intentionally cause undo harm or stress. I know trust is a big issue with most people, as it should be. I've also had previous experience working as a teacher in the school system. Life gets busy, sometimes you just need a little extra help. So let me know if you need me 🙂

Information Mary W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should account or prepare for. Typically I like to have a short meeting with the owners to get to know both you and your pet a little better. This can be done before our first encounter by phone or text if that makes the experience more comfortable.

A typical day

I have a truck with lots of backseat room to drive your dog safely off to the local park or other doggie desirable location. I plan to get plenty of walking in and let them explore all the new smells they will encounter. If you prefer I would also stay in the dogs local neighborhood provided I feel it is safe to do so for both of us. There are some special places that I like to go during good weather days. After I get to know your dog I will speak with you about the possibility of taking them with me for new experiences.

Retired medic that loves dogs!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a small child. I grew up with a mother that managed the local animal shelter back in the 80s. This is where I learned most of my knowledge about pet care. Originally wanted to be a Vet. but went to paramedic school instead. This next chapter of my life I am seeking happiness. Being outdoors and being around animals make me happy. So leave your baby with somebody who knows doggie CPR and doggie heimlich!

Mary made herself available on short notice to do a meet and greet. Mary was friendly, easy to talk to and relate to. Merry interacted with my girls. Mary was on time for the appointment that was booked for her drop in. I would recommend her.
