Pet care experience
Loving and caring for my own pets since I was 13, I am comfortable around a variety of animals. Aged 10 I knew I loved animals, all I wanted was to learn more and more about them, and even wanted to be a veterinarian all the way back in 5th grade. I completed my pre-veterinary school and graduated with an associates degree in May 2015. I am experienced with large and small dogs growing up with golden retrievers and then later toy poodles, that I always helped raise and train. I currently have 2 cats and 2 belgian malinois that I have exclusively trained myself(with my son's help), and I am working on a dog training certification. Throughout the years we had other various pets as well growing up. I am comfortable around and handling birds, rabbits, guinea pugs, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils, snakes, turtles, fish, other reptiles and amphibians etc(but NO spiders sorry lol) My 2 cats can also be confined to our basement if your animal has any issues around felines.
Reviews
Mary was great with my dog buddy, she was very accommodating to our schedule and she even kept him for 2 days longer than we originally talked about initially. She taught him a couple basic commands that he didn’t know already know. I will use her again!
I've known Mary for over 10 years and she is my go-to person for all pet questions - this girl knows her stuff! She has a serious passion for animals and formal education in animal care as well. Mary has helped care for my pets and I would trust her with any of my fur babies!

Your pet is treated like my own pet and let's just say my pets are very spoiled😅 I have various toys for both cats and dogs that rotate often as well as scratching post and 4 different dog beds. The animals get ample attention since I'm home most of the time and I also have spare kennels/crates. I also completely respect someone else's space and if I'm dog walking or making a drop in visit I make sure to know exactly what the client wants and expects with my time there. I know trusting someone new with your fur baby is difficult so I'm here to make it as easy as possible😊

Information Mary C. would like to know about your pet
I do not have breed preferences but I definitely would like to know of any medical issues, medications, likes and dislikes, as well as if your pet is comfortable with other animals, and daily routine just to make your pet most comfortable. Also, if your dog does have potty training/pittle issues, please just be honest and up front, I understand, really, and may even be able to help. That way I know how to best care for your dog while also protecting my home❤
A typical day
I usually go for walks around my neighborhood but we also enjoy our 2 local dog parks. We have a nice large yard that we enjoy year round that usually has a tiny dog pool in the summer to relax in and cool down. With 2 dogs and a 4 year old play time is any time in our house.

I am currently a stay at home mom with a 4 year old son therefore I am home a majority of the time, so pet care is something I knew would work for us. We love to be out doors, so a good portion of my day is spent outside with him and our dogs. We also set aside training time and try to make it to the dog park on the weekend. My cats are very laid back, don't mind being near dogs, and they also don't mind being secluded in our basement.
