The checklist for all things dog-related is now checked in the 'yes' box!
I’ve always had a pack of dogs—usually two or three at a time. Years ago, I came across an ad from a local rescue looking for volunteers, and I signed up to help. I became what they called a “stash house”—a temporary stop for dogs between the vet clinic and their forever homes.
Twelve years ago, I joined a professional dog-walking company and made pet care my full-time career. It’s been my passion ever since. The next natural step was to create Mary’s Buddies, a business built around the belief that you really can do what you love—and that pets deserve more than just basic care.
Over the years, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs:
-
High-energy pups who need long walks and a good play session to burn it off
-
Seniors who mostly want bathroom breaks, light exercise, and gentle companionship
-
Puppies who need consistent routines and patient help with training
At this point, there’s not much that surprises me. But one thing has always stayed the same: every dog I’ve met needs love, attention, and someone to brighten their day. And their people deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pets are in good hands.
Whether you need daily walks, occasional visits, or a loving place for your dog to stay while you’re away, we’re here to help.
