Oh, For the Love of Pets!!

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.

As always, Ms. Mary provided superb care for our elderly dog. We could not ask for better because she is simply the best!

I got lucky with Mary. She is very caring, she loved Gon and made him feel at home while I was away. She provided update without me having to ask and it made me sure that Gon was in good hands.

Ms. Mary is absolutely wonderful. This was our 2nd time dropping off our elderly dog and both times when we picked him up, he was in no hurry to leave. It is very obvious that our dog enjoys his time at Ms. Mary's home and is always well taken care of. Ms. Mary responds to texts promptly was so understanding whenever we had delays. You can tell how much she adores all canines. We are grateful to have connected with Ms. Mary! We have met 5 other Rover sitters in Virginia - Ms. Mary is our favorite, we will only seek her from now on ♡

Mary is an excellent host, I’ve done several trips where she has provided excellent care and hospitality to my precious dog. She always sends me pictures and updates and is a true blessing. Thankyou Mary! Will 10/10 recommend and will book with her especially again.

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.

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.
