Coco is the first arrival who's spending Christmas at Mary's Buddies. Several more on the way! They all agree that wearing this "thing" on their head just long enough to snap a pic is their least favorite thing. After that, all fun!

Every dog has a place of comfort here at Mary's Buddies, especially on a slow Sunday morning! The big guy has doubts about the two little ones, not sure if they're actually dogs!

A home environment that assures a calm and happy boarding experience at Mary’s Buddies. The crates are only for the dogs that prefer a little "alone time." Otherwise, they're invited into the bedrooms come bedtime, with plenty of beds and blankets. The options are theirs.

We run a very friendly, home-like atmosphere at Mary's Buddies. They're all a part of a comfortable, non-stressful, no-crate stay while here. Bobby (on the chair) is the welcome wagon in a dog sense, over-seeing friends getting acquainted.

Bobby is doing a fantastic job of making every visitor dog feel welcome here at Mary's Buddies.

About Us

The checklist for all things dog related is now checked in the 'yes' box. I've always had my own pack of dogs, usually two or three at a time. One day I saw an ad for volunteers needed at a local rescue group. I joined their team as a 'stash house,'a temporary respite between leaving the vet clinics and their forever homes. Then 10 years ago, I was fortunate enough to join a dog-walking company and made this my full-time profession from that day until now. The most logical next step was to create Mary's Buddies. It's proof to me now that you really can work at what you love most!

There's quite a variety of personalities and specific needs that you find with dogs. High-energy dogs are especially grateful for a break in the day when they can enjoy a long walk and active playtime. With senior dogs, maybe their needs are simply bathroom breaks, moderate exercise, and companionship. Puppies require an experienced person to keep their training routine consistent and on track. During the past 10 years, I think it's safe to say there's simply not much in the way of surprises now! With any dog I've ever met, there is the need for a loving person to make their day a happy one, and at the same time giving their owner the peace of mind knowing all is well with their cherished pets.
