About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve had animals around since I was in diapers. I rescue them to this day! I have three rescues in my home and I provide top notch care, just read my reviews. I treat everyone’s pets as my own. I’d be happy to care for your furry friends Anyday!!! I’m a stay at home mother of a two year old boy. I have plenty of free time to take care of my home and animals and your animals too! It would be easier for everyone for me to watch your pets in MY home or do drop ins at your place. I have a separate area for cats. My dogs typically roam upstairs and the cats play downstairs in their own little sanctuary. I like to make sure every one is comfortable <3 I have a large yard for dogs to run around in and a small dog run area that’s fenced in. I’m open to keeping your dogs inside my home that way I can keep a good eye on them but if they want to hang out in the yard that’s fine too. I do enjoy going to the dog park so if that’s okay with YOU then I’m open to that which is right around the corner from my house (lucky me:) I’m very experienced with use of kennels for training too. I have a lot of experience with all animals and that gentle nature they’re attracted to.
“Mary was very sweet, she was able to help us out on short notice, she was lovely with the dogs, and very understanding of our goofball dog, Blue. She took the dogs on walks, played with them in the yard, and kept them company through the night. We highly recommend Mary to give your dogs the care and love they deserve while your away. Because dogs are family, and she treats them like her family which we loved!”
About: I've volunteered at an animal shelter and a zoo working with all types of animals. I was a dog handler at a dog daycare for 2 years where I learned how to understand dog body language and healthy dog play. I also helped with in-home pet care while working at the dog daycare. I have a reactive 12 year old mutt (Victor) that I adore so much. He has been my family's most rewarding and challenging dog yet, and he has improved on handling his emotions after I started learning about positive reinforcement through my dog daycare job. I have pet sat for friends and family and look forward to meeting your dogs and cats too! I am available for April! With only starting pet sitting/dog walking, I am available any time! Feel free to message me and I can check my calendar! 🐶 Full-time pet sitter/dog walker 🐱 For my reactive dog, I play music and use baby gates to block windows he usually barks out of before I leave the house. This keeps him more comfortable and calm while I'm away. In pet owner's homes, I make sure to follow instructions and give pets, treats, and play time before I leave.
About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.
