Pet care experience
Irish Loving Pet sitter thats Me
Animals, like us, are living souls. They are not things. They are not objects. Neither are they human. Yet they mourn. They love. They dance. They suffer. They know the peaks and chasms of being.. ~Gary Kowalski, The Souls of Animals HI there Thank you for checking out my Profile. So here is some Info on me I am from Cork Ireland born and raised there, residing in Washington Columbia Heights. I Grew up with Cats and Dogs even had Horses in Ireland they were like Family members. I love taking care of our furry friends and making them feel safe loved and secure. They bring me so much joy and their love is unconditional. I live in an Apartment Building Columbia Heights by Petco one of my fav stores. I am on the ground floor 1st apartment next to front door on Street level so easy access no elevators involved and a great big field about 10 feet away and I know the quiet areas oh yes where its peaceful almost no traffic or noise so the doggies can get some good exercise and its quiet . I have experience with Puppies and older dogs and can administer medication I am very organized and follow owners' instructions to a T . I have helped owners with training and developing a healthy schedule for pets and owners etc as many have busy work schedules. Your Fur baby will be Well Loved and taken care of while in my care rest assured, I have lots of experience with puppies also and setting boundaries with LOve and potty training with Love and patience. I am a Proud US citizen also for 12 years now. I only take one dog at a time so they can have my undivided attention as they are in new surrounding and may be a bit stressed and missing their owner's anxiety separation can be tough for our furry Friends. I smother them with Love and make them feel safe and have some fun along the way oh yes playtime is precious and exercise .There is a lovely field about 10 feet where i reside so we walk and play there and avoid the busy streets . Kind Regards Mary J

Ratings and reviews
Mary is a remarkable sitter. She treated Jasper as her own pup and I didn’t have to worry at all during the whole trip. You can tell she loves pets and pets love her. My dog was so sad to see her leave but we will definitely see her again soon!
Another amazing stay! Rocky was so well taken cared of. You can truly tell how much love and attention goes into caring for him, and he always has the absolute best time here. Highly recommend and will definitely continue booking again!
Mary is my main sitter and she takes good care of Camry
Mary B. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Mary B. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Mary has been a fantastic sitter for our pup Max. Drop off and pick up has gone smoothly, and she is good at communicating how Max’s day was. She also has learned how to handle Max’s quirks as he can be unfriendly with strangers.

Schedule
Lots of free time with my schedule I also work remote at home :-) I am a very Upbeat, responsible and Friendly (hey I am Irish :-)). If I commit to something I stick to my word and respect others timelines at all times. I will not say I can be available etc. when I may not be able to that schedule. I find great reward in the love and joy the doggies I care for bring to my life and keeping them safe and content :-)

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a yard but access to parking lot out back its nice peaceful and I am on 1st floor win win .We have nice the parks we discovered very peaceful and then our walkies out in Columbia heights I know all the quiet nice streets dog friendly where its quiet there is also a good size field, I go to about 10 feet from my building, and I go there and play fetch and walk etc with my doggy friends and do some laps around it so we both get exercise and fresh air all good doggies love it . Dogs are allowed on my furniture its their home too :-) I know they are stressed missing their owners' and their homes. I have a peaceful home myself all good no drama so my doggy friends can get acclimated at their pace .I also have access to our large secure basement here for playtime when weather is bad etc :-)
A typical day
Nice walkies and going outside as much as possible. Nice field grassy area across the street from my home so I like to my doggie guest/friends I walk in there and play fetch or just do a few laps of the field some great other dog owners are there occasionally in the evenings . I live on the 1st floor 1st apartment too :-) so easy access for a quick poop or wee when nature calls . Doggies are allowed on my couch and bed no issues their love is Priceless and they place their trust in us humans . I advocate hugs as we get the warms and fuzzy feeling and makes the pets feel safe and loved always give cuddles in the Thunderstorm for example we will have in Summer and make sure they are cool or warm depending on the season.

- Please be sure to let me know about any particular likes/dislikes/quirks. Also any health issues or things i should look out for. It is good also to know things like if they are scared of loud noises, have a high prey drive, can Houdini their way out of any building, or have a particular fetish ! Don’t worry, I’ve probably seen it before. No judgment from me NO but it is good to be as upfront as possible, so everyone is on the same page.
