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.

Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

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.

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.

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!

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.
