Pet care experience
I've been watching people's animals since I was ten years old and acted as animal caretaker at Carroll Middle School from 2007 to 2009. There, I took care of multiple exotics, such as birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Since then, I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Agricultural Communications. I currently own a sweet little rescue Dachshund named Basil and a cat named Zazu. Even in college, I worked diligently with my apartment complex's dog park to ensure safety for the residents. Additionally, I took a companion animal behavior course to understand the behaviors of cats and dogs better. Pets, especially dogs, can pick up multiple diseases and bad behaviors from boarding kennels, such as kennel cough and giardia. As your petsitter, your pets will be in the comfort of their environment and will be able to stick to their routines. Regarding medicines and injections, I am a fast learner. I have a good grasp on subcutaneous injections, but if your dog requires intravenous injections, I will need a demonstration, so I know what reactions/behaviors to expect from your dog. When I say that I treat your animals as I would my own, I mean it! When I go out of town, I love getting updates and pictures from my sitter. With that, I promise to do the same for yours! I will send you photos of your pet and send you reports of their day, giving you peace of mind while you are away. If you want someone to give your pet the personalized care they need, I am the best candidate for your pet's needs.

Mary Beth did a wonderful job caring for our fur babies while we were OOT for 2 weeks. One of our dogs needed medicine. Will definitely use her again!!
Mary Beth is as wholesome as they come! She has a little dog of her own, not to mention her cat. She loves animals and is a great dog mom!
Mary Beth is the biggest animal lover I know. She has a passion for helping animals. She wanted to open a therapeutic horse camp to allow autistic children to become familiar with horses. This shows to me that she believes animals are necessary to human happiness! She is very empathetic and will do her very best to ensure every animal in her care is pampered. She is the first person I would choose to baby sit any pet of mine!
Mary Beth is a kind and loving soul. It is very rare to find someone with such a giving spirit. She views animals just as important and as much a part of the family as humans. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their caregiver.

Information Mary Beth H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their level of sociability and dietary needs. This will allow me to adapt to the dog's comfort level. Additionally, I like knowing about their different quirks. How are they on a leash? In a car? These are important for me to know since I do like to take them on field trips.
A typical day
Depending on the dogs' sociability and dietary needs, we will take field trips to Starbucks near campus for a Puppucino (just whipped cream) or even to the dog parks! I am located in between the Southlake, Keller, and Grapevine dog parks, so your dog will have different sensory activities depending on the parks. Sometimes, we can even go to my house in Southlake for a playdate with my two dogs (again, depends on how social they are). We have an acre of land and a beautiful big pool, ready for your water-loving pet! For dog boarding, we will do some of the same things, except going to my house, since they're already there :) The neighborhood I live in has lots of great places to sniff when we go on walks!
