MaryKate (MK) was the primary dog walker for our black lab, Olive—and quite honestly, she was the absolute best. Olive is a sweet, goofy girl with classic “lab energy” (lol), and MK was incredible with her. Not only did she shower Olive with all the love and attention that Labs thrive on, but she also helped noticeably improve her leash manners along the way. Olive would get so excited whenever it was time for a walk with MK. MaryKate was always punctual, patient, and completely engaged—ready to give Olive the attention, affection, and guidance she needed. It was clear very quickly that they had built a genuine bond. In fact, when MaryKate relocated, Olive even attended her going-away party—that’s how special their connection was. I would recommend MK in a heartbeat. She is trustworthy, reliable, incredibly communicative, and most importantly, genuinely loving toward the animals in her care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, MaryKate is exactly that person. Our furry family members deserve nothing less. 🐾

Marykate walked my dogs for a year or so. My dogs can be a bit standoffish. They took to her immediately and were thrilled to see her every time she came for a walk. I found Marykate to be highly competent and reliable. She struck a good balance between being in control of walks (not being a pushover) and forging loving, trusting relationships with my pups. Marykate has a lot of experience with a variety of dogs/other animal buddies, and it shows.
