Since I'm retired, I'm able to spend more time interacting with your pet. I have family that helps out also. My pets have passed on, so petsitting allows me to give love as if they're my own.

Pet care experience

As a pet owner myself, I will treat your pet with love and respect. We like to consider your pets stay as a mini-vacation. They have a large fenced-in yard to run to play in. We play fetch and I kick the ball for them to run after. Have variety of balls, frisbes and tugging ropes for them to enjoy . My family also interacts with the pets so they receive a lot of human affection and attention. We have a variety of beds for your babies comfort!! Of course my lap is always their favorite. You may bring your babys bed if you choose. If your pet is crate trained, you may bring the crate. We will care for your fur baby as if they are one of our own. We love all breeds!!

Mary is great! So glad I found her!! One of my cats is a typical scaredy-cat, and she’s already getting closer to Mary.

This is the 10th time I believe that Mary has watched our pups. This trip was almost 2 weeks and they did great. Mary sends pictures and videos so we know how the pups are doing. When we get close to her house the pups start barking with excitement because they know they will be staying with Mary. We appreciate her so much. We never worry when she cares for our pups.
