Me+Animals=Happiness

Important update. I no longer accept any flat face breeds. Sorry for the restriction but with the health risk I can’t take a chance. I would be happy to refer you to other’s but I don’t have any exceptions for flat face breeds. For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself to caring for and rescuing animals. I possess a unique connection with all creatures, making them feel at ease in my presence. Whether it's a familiar pet or a new one, I am committed to learning everything necessary to provide exceptional care. I am skilled in administering medications and can handle puppies, including boarding them when needed. High-energy breeds are no challenge for me, and I also provide a peaceful environment for elderly dogs, allowing them to relax indoors while enjoying the countryside. Being physically fit, I can manage strong breeds without any issues, and I have no restrictions on breed types. My home is shared with six dogs, six cats, chickens, ducks, and geese. My patience with animals is unmatched, and I have a keen ability to interpret their body language, ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable. In my experience, every animal I encounter seems to take a liking to me.

Mary is always wonderful with Rosie! Knowing Rosie is in Mary’s care gives me complete peace of mind. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Rosie is always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when she stays with Mary. As a pet parent, it’s such a relief to have someone I trust completely. Mary consistently goes above and beyond, and I never have to worry when I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter. Thank you, Mary, for taking such great care of Rosie!

She seemed to take great care of my 6 cats! I came home to happy, healthy kitties and clean litter boxes. She communicated well and sent very cute pics! Thanks, Mary!

Mary did an amazing job! While we were on our trip, several states away, our AC broke and Mary went above and beyond to look after our pets while we tried to coordinate a repair. With all that stress, knowing someone was doing such a good job looking after our pets was so appreciated.

Schedule

My schedule is centered around my furry clients. I can accommodate last-minute visits and often have space for boarding animals on short notice. Additionally, I provide pick-up and drop-off services, which is really helpful for those who need to leave quickly and can’t bring their pup to me. I strive to keep my schedule and availability as flexible as I can.

Safety, trust & environment

I reside in the countryside and I have a securely fenced space. I consistently walk my animals on a leash and ensure that they are never in the company of others that might provoke a conflict. The safety and comfort of the animals are my top priorities. When boarding them, I strive to create a homely atmosphere. During my visits to their homes, I focus on keeping them relaxed and stress-free.

Pets

A typical day

There's an abundance of activities in the countryside, and many dogs absolutely love going for long walks, soaking in all the sounds and scents of nature and farm animals. For those who are water enthusiasts, I have a kiddie pool and enjoy splashing them with water. I also make sure to shower them with plenty of love and attention.

Please share if your pet has any specific needs or preferences. Understanding how they interact with other animals will also help me arrange a visit that makes them feel comfortable.
