Certified Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

I am a certified Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College, who has been caring for dogs (House Sitting) for more that 5 years. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I love giving belly rubs and cuddling with all animals. I truly look forward to working with your pets. I am available week days, nights and most weekends. If you ever need anything not listed, please do not hesitate to ask. I personally have three dogs of my own (Ozzo, Ezra and Zorey) as well as 2 cats named Zane and Chandler. Animals bring so much love and joy to our homes and I treat each and every pet like they are my own. I promise to love and care for them just as I would my own pets. When your pets stay in my home I will ensure a safe environment with 24hour care. I do have a son, who has grown up with handling and respecting dogs and knows that sometimes dogs need their space and may not be comfortable around children. We also have the ability to handle your pets who may not enjoy the company of other animals in their space. Please reach out with your concerns, we will be happy to address them and help you find a solution.

Mary recently did an overnight stay with my pack. She came for a meet and greet prior to the stay and came again before the stay to go thru a feeding for my piece of mind. She was on time for the meet and greet, the feeding and the actual stay. I have two Dals and a Dane.... the Dane can be intimidating due to his size, but with Mary's expertise with dogs of all sizes, she wasn't intimidated at all. Also, one Dal and the Dane are young (under 2) so are basically still puppies and can be quite rambunctious.... she handled everything perfectly. I highly recommend Mary for your house/pet sitting needs.

Mary is wonderful. My dog Sox loves when she takes care of her. Mary is great at following directions. She does everything I ask her to do, from communication, to playtimes, and feeding. She has sent me photos of her if I’m gone for a while. This way I can visually see she’s well. What is the most important thing to me is that my dog loves her. She has no issues with Mary ever. She loves seeing her.

Personally, I know each dog is different. Where one may enjoy fetch or tug of war another may prefer other activities. Each pet will get a personalized experience for them. My favorite places for walks include Windsor Castle Park Trails in Smithfield and Lake Meade in Suffolk.
