Retired .. 24/7 pet companion
Pet care experience
Last minute booking is no problem. I love all animals and they love me. I am retired so I can hang out with your pets 24/7. I treat each precious soul like they are a part of my family. Giving your loved ones a massage is the ultimate relaxer when you are away. I've owned dogs and cats my entire life. It only takes one lick to win my heart. I've owned horses during my stay at home mom years. I'm retired from in home elderly care. I still want to care for those who need extra loving care. Of course, animals are fun and rewarding. The love you give them is surpassed by the love you receive. There is no job too small or too big. I am flexible, available, and attentive to all details. I can adjust pricing according to number of pets and length of stay.
Reviews
My regular dog sitter cancelled at the last-minute, and Mary came to the rescue! When I let her know that my dog was afraid of people he didn’t know, she took the time to meet him beforehand two times before the stay to make sure that they both felt comfortable. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and she was the best dog companion I could ask for in my absence. I recommend Mary to anyone who needs a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
We have an older dog with health issues and Mary was the best! We didn't worry at all while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!
Mary was wonderful to both our pets and our home. It was such a relief to come home to a clean home with no worries. Thank you so much Mary!
Mary was AWESOME! We had never left our dog with a house sitter before so we were super nervous. Mary instantly put our anxieties at ease as soon as we met her. She came over a few days before our trip to meet Boris, which was super helpful to see them together first. He cried when she left that first day! During the time she was watching Boris, she gave multiple updates daily, and kept us in check with Boris’s ever changing skin allergies. She even gave Boris a bath one day. We came back home to a very happy, very tired dog and a house that looked cleaner than when we left somehow. I would recommend Mary a million times!

If it's too hot for a walk outside we can go to Home Depot and walk the isles for some exercise. Favorite toys and favorite treats are always good.
