Pet care experience

Oh, For the Love of Pets!!

I have been an animal lover all my life. Having grown up on a farm, we cared for every kind of "critter" from dogs and cats to a goat, a rooster, ducks, a hamster, goldfish, turtles; not to mention our chickens and pigs...LOL!! Yes, pigs and chickens need love too. Whenever my friends or family needed someone to care for their furry family member, I was the one they called. And I enjoyed every minute of it.

Boarding • Aug 10, 2026

Mary (and socks) were absolutely wonderful! We were worried about what we were going to do with our sweet girl while on vacation. We knew that not just any place would do as she is used to running around on a farm but also napping inside whenever she wants. She’s also very clingy and VERY fearful of thunderstorms. Ms. Mary exceeded our expectations! Winnie got to go literally everywhere Ms. Mary & socks went and she held her tight during the thunderstorms. We were given updates frequently and even a few pictures. Winnie is a little skittish and doesn’t go up to just anyone, but she clung to Mary right away; we were at ease leaving her with her.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 16, 2026

My pup, Wyatt, absolutely loves Mary and her pup Socks. The atmosphere is perfect for my young rescue. Mary leads with positivity and respects each dog's individuality, Wyatt is always happy to be told he's going to Mary's.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 09, 2026

My pup, Wyatt, had such a good time with Mary and her pup Socks!! When I picked him up he hopped right into the car and promptly jumped right back out. He was headed back to the fun zone! Wyatt will be going to play at Mary's regularly.

Mary is very kind. She has preciously cared for my two cats, and now for my dog for an overnight stay. She sent me photos to ease my anxiety of leaving him and even let him sleep with her as he’s used to sleeping with me at night. Thank you so much for loving on him for me!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 14, 2025

Mary did drop in visits to care for my 2 cats while I was away. One of my cats is very skittish, and I ended up getting a photo of her being out—which surprised me because she ran way for the meet and greet. Mary is very kind and I’m pleased with her service.

Schedule

I am retired and in need of a part-time job to help financially as well as to get me out of the house. Besides, anytime spent with animals is time well spent. They never fail to make me smile.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced y.ard and a 2 level deck. My dog Socks (5 year old Lab mix) loves to spend her time roaming and soaking up the sun there. She is well cared for with regular visits to the vet for check-ups, immunizations, flea, tick and heartworm prevention.

Pets

A typical day

My typical day is usually one spent at home with occassional short trips to run errands or for appointments. I have a nice, fairly large fenced-in back yard that offers lots of room to play. On such occasions it would be great if your pup is crate trained and willing to stay in his/her crate for a few hours, but this isn't absolutely necessary if your pup is accustomed to being alone for several hours at a time uncrated.

I require a Meet & Greet prior to final booking because I have a fur baby myself. She loves to have other dogs visit, but shouldn't have to tolerate an aggressive dog in her own home.
