More Than A Dog Walker

At Mary's Pet Squad, I take immense pride in providing Bethesda and The Greater Washington D.C. region with top notch quality pet care AND customer service. There is so much that goes into providing you the best service, although I bet you might think it's easy as leashing up a pup and going for a walk! I would love to give a little more insight into what makes Mary's Pet Squad one of the best professional pet care companies and how we are set apart from pet sitters and dog walkers who just help for fun in their spare time:

  • We cover all of our clients and pets with personalized Pet Care Insurance. This plan covers your pet and your home while they are under our care, should any accidents occur.
  • We work 24/7/365! This includes holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve & Christmas, New Years Eve & New Years Day, and more! We're also available to discuss your service needs most of the day. Sometimes we can't pick up the phone when we're walking dogs or getting a few winks overnight, but you can expect prompt responses every day to all your questions! 
  • I LOVE taking great photos of your pets (check out our Instagram Page for some pics) and sending them to you during the day. We all miss our little buddies and furry family members when we're separated; I'll send you pictures that you'll be sharing with family or co-workers, ooh-ing and aww-ing over how cute your pets are :). 
  • We are proud to offer all clients their own personalized portal on Time To Pet! You can request a service 24/7, update your personal contact information, update your pet's care & routine information, ask questions and view your invoices! You'll never have to worry about picking up the phone and calling the office; Your messages reach us instantly and we'll respond A.S.A.P.
  • Your packages! I bring them in so you don't have to worry about any porch thieves stealing your goodies!
  • I get to know your pets very, very closely. I will communicate to you such things as whether your pet's behavior is off, if their walk is different, if their bathroom behavior has changed or looks problematic, if they had an accident in the house, etc. With pets, the smallest change in their behavior can be very important and I want you to know at the earliest opportunity! 
  • I will leave your home just as you left it, or better. I believe that you should come home to a clean & secure home; You'll never find stinky litter left in your trash can, dishes in your sink, doors unlocked, or any pet messes that I can clean up. We are a professional service and you deserve professional level care! 
  • And there's so much more! 

As you can see, there's SO MUCH more that goes into pet care than you might have ever thought! This is my life and full-time chosen profession. My mission is to provide every client with top notch customer care, reliability and professionalism. And why would you ask for anything less when you need to leave two of the most important things in your life, your home and your pets? Contact me today to give you and your pet a new best friend :).

Pet Tech® CPR & First Aid Trained!

Pet CPR & First Aid Trained

Did you know that Mary is trained in CPR & First Aid for pets? It's true! I recently completed a class covering health care and wellness information, CPR techniques for small to large cats & dogs, and first aid skills to care for broken or wounded limbs. I am proud and excited to bring these skills to all Mary's Pet Squad clients (and to the rest of the community, if ever necessary!).  

Summer Is In Full Swing!

Things have been busy, busy, busy around Mary's Pet Squad, which is something I am extremely happy about! The sweltering heat has brought in the start of vacation season and I am thrilled to be welcomed into the hearts of so many new pets and families :). July 4th is just around the corner and it's one of the busiest holidays of the summer, so remember to book pet care soon before services are limited! Also, don't forget to like the Facebook Page (and please leave a review if you're an existing client!) and our Instagram account! We are still offering our referral discount as well, so remember to tell your neighbors and friends about Mary's Pet Squad for their pet care needs :). Happy vacationing! 

Summer Pet Sitting, Had Me A Blast!

I had the best Memorial Day Weekend caring for my clients' pets! It was such a pleasure seeing these boys while their parents were off for the long holiday. Sterling, the kitty, was so much fun to get to know. He has the most striking green eyes and knew how to express all the emotions with them- Check out our Instagram for photos of all his looks! I love an expressive and playful kitty :). I also took care of Cecil, who is a Lab/Mountain Cur mix. He was so sweet and happy-go-lucky;  Don't you just want to snuggle with him after seeing his photo?? 

If you have upcoming trips this summer, don't hesitate to contact me to care for your pets! Booking early means that you get priority time slots and the benefit of not having to stress about who is caring for your sweet pets while you're away :). Happy summertime!
