Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care for your dog
I provide calm, attentive care and genuinely enjoy spending unhurried time with both dogs and cats. My focus is on helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have many years of experience with dogs—from childhood, to my own dogs, to fostering long-term dogs through animal rescue, including dogs recovering from injury or past trauma. This experience has taught me patience, good judgment, and how to read an animal’s cues and adjust to their individual needs.

Ratings and reviews
Very good host. Met expectations as stated in Rover.
Mary was absolutely wonderful! My dog usually gets pretty stressed when I’m away, but she connected with Mary right away and was happy and relaxed the whole time. It meant so much to know my dog was in such kind and capable hands. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Mary is such a caring and reliable person! My dog really enjoys spending time with her :)
Mary was absolutely wonderful from the first correspondence all the way to pick up. She was friendly, responsive, and extremely caring towards Dory while also providing us daily updates and photos. Moreover, we were very appreciative when Mary accommodated a later pick up due to traffic home from our trip. We will definitely look to her for future dog sitting needs. HIGHLY recommend Mary. Thanks so much again! Dory already misses you :)
Mary was great! She was on time and I can tell that my dog really enjoyed her walk.
I have known Mary for over 20 years as a friend and neighbor and I can highly recommend her as a pet caregiver. Mary is a mom to three wonderful young men and I have seen myself how caring she has been with her own pets. Any pet would be lucky to be cared for in Mary's home.

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to accommodate your routine and your pet’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to giving your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently don’t have pets of my own, so visiting pets get my full attention. Pets are welcome in my home, and I have a secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. If your dog is crate trained, I have a kennel available from previous dog-sitting experience with my son’s dog. I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs who are not crate trained. I enjoy neighborhood walks and light trail walks when appropriate for your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. Also my two pet loving sons, who are in college, are in the home. They won't be involved in primary care of your pet and they will give your pet space unless you would like them to also spend time with your pet. If your pet is nervous around men we have plenty of space to easily accommodate keeping your pet with me in a separate areas. Please note my home has exterior and interior stairs and maybe not be suitable for all pets.
A typical day
I’m happy to follow any training routines or commands you’re working on so your dog has consistency while you’re away. Activities can include walks, playtime, light hikes, car rides, running errands and having tea or simply relaxing together. I’m just as content cuddling on the couch as I am being active—whatever best suits your pet.
