Because we work from home, caring for pets is part of our everyday life. Your dog (or cat) will never be left alone for long periods—we’re able to give them attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Walks, feeding, and potty breaks naturally fit into our routine, and we often go to the park or on short outings for enrichment and socialization. With our own dogs, we’re used to a structured schedule, so adding your pet into that rhythm is easy and natural.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At our home, we provide a secure fenced yard for play, supervised outdoor time, and crate options of various sizes if needed or requested. All pets in our care must be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure a healthy environment for everyone. I closely supervise interactions between dogs and make sure play is safe and appropriate. Our three German Shepherds are well-trained and friendly, offering companionship and socialization opportunities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and maintain your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, structure, and lots of love. 🐾

Information Mary C. would like to know about your pet
To ensure the best care for your pet, we ask that all dogs are up-to-date on vaccinations and that you provide any special instructions regarding diet, medications, or behavior. We love all pets, but knowing their personality, energy level, and preferences ahead of time helps us provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience. Please let us know if your pet has any medical needs, anxiety triggers, or special routines so we can accommodate them. With this information, we can tailor each day to your pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. 🐾

Pet care experience
I was born and raised surrounded by animals, and I’ve been caring for dogs of every kind for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, train, and love their dogs like my own. My family and I are also German Shepherd breeders, so dogs are truly part of our everyday life. Because we both work from home, your pup will never be left without attention and care. We often take our dogs to the park and even on store outings for training and socialization, so your fur baby will have plenty of stimulation and fun.

Reviews
We highly recommend Mary and her husband as dog sitters! This was our first time boarding our male German Shepherd with someone he didn’t know, so we were naturally a little nervous. We chose Mary because of her experience with German Shepherds, and she exceeded our expectations. She and her husband provide exceptional care. Their property has large, secure, high-fenced play areas, which was especially reassuring since our shepherd is a climber. They are very thoughtful about introducing dogs to one another and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. Mary also sent us daily photos, videos, and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Denali clearly enjoyed his stay, and we felt completely confident he was in great hands. We will definitely be calling Mary again the next time we need a dog sitter!
Mary was exceptional and awesome with Max! Every video and photo sent of our beloved Max meant the world. Highly recommend Mary!
Mary and her husband are fantastic! Our German Shepherd Oskar was so well taken care of. The photos and videos they sent us throughout his stay helped us feel at ease, and showed him having such a great time! This will be our top choice for Oskar whenever we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend!!!
This was Buster's first time with Mary and he fit in well. He is a kind of nervous dog and he was less stressed when he came home than with other experiences. Mary sent pictures and video's which was very nice. We will board Buster there again.
