She made sure to send lots of videos and updates . Very wonderful. Thank you Maria , will be sending Tour over soon ! :-)”



“This was my 1st time leaving my dogs with a sitter I didn't personally know. I was nervous, but they LOVED it! Mary & her family treated them like their own. They were exhausted everyday from playing with the other dogs and seemed excited to go back. I received daily updates & photos when they were there. It allowed me to have fun on my vacation because I knew they were happy! Thank you Mary ❤”

About: In the last 20 years, I have owned four dogs. I fostered a dog for several months and ended up adopting her. I trained all four - two of which came to me as puppies. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home Monday through Friday. Whether you are opting for a dog sitter during the day or in need of a second home for your pet while you are away, I am willing to pick and drop off your pet. If you are utilizing me for a day sitter, I am happy to have an office companion. We can keep each other company throughout the day! If you are using me for a day sitter or for boarding, I can take your dog for walks or play fetch. We have a large yard on water so if your pup likes to swim that can be accommodated. I have two boys, who are 6 and 7 years old, and a 2 year old cattle dog, who would love to snuggle and play with your dog.
