Pet care experience

Hi! I have lots of experience with dogs and helping friends take care of their pets when they have been out of town, or while at work. We just got a puppy, who is friendly with everyone and is being trained and socialized. There is also a neighbor’s barn kitten that has decided to live on our porch. Although it is not our pet, I have made sure that he is vaccinated, dewormed and on flea/tick preventative. With my previous dog, I had to give her oral medications and an IV under the skin while she was going through kidney failure. I am hoping to help families out with summer vacations, since I will be off for the summer, or weekends once school starts. I have two kids that can also help keep your pup loved on and exercised while with us. We also live less than five minutes from a park. I will only accept one pet at a time for boarding or daycare so that your pup is safe and gets lots of attention, unless there are two in a family to ensure the safety of your pet. Any new clients will need to schedule a meet and greet to ensure that all involved will be comfortable with the services to be provided before the dates of service will be confirmed. I serve on a first come first served basis, and dates are only guaranteed once booked, and paid through the rover app. We look forward to working with you!

Mary is very attentive to my cats and washes the dishes each day. My unfriendly indoor cat likes her. I am fortunate to have her.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are a part of our family. They will get to cuddle on the couch with us, and go to the park for our walks. Anytime we go outside, they will be on a leash since we do not have a fenced in yard. We have chickens, so they can enjoy all the smells! Your rules are my rules, and you can rest assured that your pet will be treated like family.

Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet

I have two elementary aged children that have grown up with dogs and know how to treat them. They will be interacting with your pet, and they must be child friendly in order for me to take care of them. I need to know how your dog behaves on a leash, and around other animals so that I can be prepared for when we go on a walk.

A typical day

There is a park less than five minutes from my house that we go to take walks. I love to play fetch and play tug of war.
