Hi! I'm Mary and I'd love to be your pet-sitter. I was a professional dog-walker in Chicago and South Carolina, I did volunteer work walking dogs at a shelter in Idaho, and I've been pet-sitting for years. I have cared for all kinds of dogs. Big and small, young and old, and dogs who need medication. I love spending quality time with the dogs I care for, whether that means lots of walks, playing or relaxing. Your pup will get plenty of attention when I pet-sit! I can also send you updates and pics while you are away. Additionally, I can care for other pets in the home. I love cats, and I also have some experience with birds, rodents and reptiles. I recently moved to the Broad Ripple neighborhood in Indianapolis, very close to the park. I share my home with my girlfriend, our dog and three cats. We have a fenced yard, although it is not connected directly to the house. Safety is very important to me, and your pet will never be outside of my home or fenced yard without a leash. I work a variable part-time schedule. Usually your pet will never have to be alone for more than a few hours, but I will discuss my exact schedule with you before we book. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
