I am a homeschool mom and can make pet visits and walks between lessons easily. I try to walk my dogs once or twice a day, depending on weather and their needs. I groom my own dogs because it keeps them calmer and happier. Their haircuts aren't perfect yet, but they feel the love. My kids' bunnies have daily run around play time daily as well. Usually most of my own pet playtime care is done in the morning and at night.

About Mary A.

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are not crated. We have limited space for crates yet a long hallway. The fence is high and blocks view from pedestrians. Dogs have plenty of space to romp and explore. We do have a pool, which they avoid. Sometimes we gate off the room that has our main entrance to prevent dogs form escaping (if they saw a squirrel or cat). My both doors stay locked, pets feed in separate spaces. I allow animals on my couch with permission first. (Sometimes they don't ask, so we are working on that).

Information Mary A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any triggers that stress your dog, commands you want me to implement and if I am walking your pet do you mind me driving them to a place to hike. Is your dog nervous or aggressive toward other dogs, and when its wet out how would your dog respond to my handling their paws to dry them. Thank you!

A typical day

This depends on the pet and their needs. I love interval runs and long walks with dogs who need it. Playing with toys, throwing balls and hide and seek with dogs is a blast. I can reinforce any commands and reward them with approved treats, pets and play. My dog doesn't like hoola hoops but I'm willing to give dogs some fun jumping through it if they like it.

Pet care experience

I own a large dog and small dog who are fun goofballs. Also, I care for 3 bunnies. I cared for my mother's cat till her age took her. Miss my kitties who passed years ago, but am a happy dog owner. I like to learn each pet's personality to better my care for them.

Hi, What to say about Mary, She loves her pets for sure and everybody else’s. She is friendly and able to connect with them well from bunnies to cats to dogs and birds. All sizes of dogs love her and she with them. You would never have to worry over trust. She is honest trustworthy in anybody’s home and with their pets and property. Thank You Greg Martin

Mary has a love for all animals. She is a responsible pet owner and has been for several years. She is always giving the best care in all areas, nutritionally, physical exercise, cleanliness, safety, and loving affection. I would trust her with my pet care.
