Safety, trust & environment

Your fur baby becomes my shadow! I believe dogs thrive on companionship, so I make sure they are included in every part of my day. From car rides to cozy naps, your pet will have my undivided attention and affection 24/7. Rest assured your pets and home are in good hands with me. I will provide proof of insurance, bonding, references, and a clear criminal history verification upon request. Frequently Asked Questions FAQ's: House Sitting vs, Boarding Care: What is the benefit of in-home care (at your pet’s home)? While some dogs do well in (or may even need to be in) a boarding facility or doggie daycare when their owners are away or working, my pet-sitting services have unique benefits. The benefits to in-home care: *Pets are happier and experience less stress at home. *Diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted. *Travel trauma for both owner and pet is eliminated. *Pet's exposure to illness is minimized. What makes my services better than a pet owner using a friend, family member or neighborhood teenager? Using a professional pet sitter or dog walker like myself means pet owners won’t have to call untrained or unwilling friends, family or neighbors—and the peace of mind a professional provides is priceless. Plus, as a professional pet-care business owner, I carry pet-sitter insurance, bonding and training that these others—friends, family, etc.—do not have.

Information Mary C. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog microchipped? Does your dog have car sickness? Who is your pet’s Veterinarian? Does your cat like to play with toys? Is your dog reactive towards dogs, people, bikes, skateboards, or anything else?

A typical day

I love to stimulate cats & dogs physically & mentally with daily enrichment. When with your cats, if they are playful, I am going to keep them engaged in whatever interests them, such as: feather wand toys, cat nip, or a laser light. Their basic toileting and feeding needs will be met. I guarantee that they will be happy and well taken care of each day I am with them. When I am with your dogs, we will go for as many walks as needed per day, and may play fun games or go shopping in department stores to stay cool when the weather is too hot outside.

Mary is the best. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog Cassie with her. Cassie is still adjusting but every time she spends time with Mary she comes home more confident. I’m really glad I found Mary for training and taking care of Cassie during the day when I can’t, she goes above and beyond for the dogs!

It is such a blessing to have Mary care for my two little kittens! They are brand new and she takes care of their every need. I feel totally at ease when she is with them. It’s such a weight off my shoulders to have found someone I can trust and that the cats enjoy so much.

Mary is a lifesaver! Simple as that. She swooped in to take care of my little kittens at the last minutes and took such excellent care of them. I’m sooooo grateful to have found her.
