Information Mary Ann P. would like to know about your pet

It's really important to know what their normal routine is. Having strangers come to their home can be stressful, and knowing what their day normally looks like can help make it all a little less stressful!

A typical day

I love long walks, Frisbee, and other activities that pets love to do! Whether it is urban or rural, I'm sure we will find something fun to do!

Pet care experience

I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee!

Mary did awesome with my two kitties! She had them for two weeks and she sent lots of pictures of my babies! She asked many questions to make sure she cared for my kitties in the way I would! I definitely recommend Mary and would let her board my cats again!

Mary Ann P. did a fantastic job house-sitting and caring for my German Shepherd. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.

Mary Ann was wonderful! She sent us updates and photos multiple times a time. We are very grateful she was so great with our babies.

Mary Ann did a great job for our first time with Rover. She was reliable, timely and did a great job with our cat, Pepe. Loved the pictures, the updates and overall, she filled all of our needs and expectations. So glad we found her!
