Dog Lover Seeks Occasional Dog Pal
Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for dogs all my life, my own, or friendly visitors. Younger active dogs OK, or quiet seniors. I love long walks and playtime with my furry friends!
Reviews
River was treated as if she was Mary’s own!
Mary was great, I have no reservations at all about leaving Boone with her again.
Mary was absolutely wonderful with our little buddy Winston. He immediately took to her and was very at ease in her home. It was easy to coordinate with her, and she was very responsive. She had no trouble giving him his eye drops, and she took him for several walks (one right before we came to pick him up, knowing we had a long drive ahead). She also sent us a few photos throughout the day, which was really nice. If we lived in the area, we’d use Mary’s services all the time! We definitely recommend. She’ll take care of your fur baby like it’s her own ?
Mary is a genuine lover of dogs and I would absolutely recommend her for your dog-sitting needs! She will provide an active and loving environment and I know that your pup will feel right at home in Mary's care. I have known Mary for 30+ years and have seen the remarkable, safe, and comforting habitats she creates for dogs, whether they are her own or just visitors. I would highly recommend booking with Mary - your dog is guaranteed to get lots of love and attention from both her and her husband!

Safety, trust & environment
While I don't have a fenced yard, I do live in a community with many walking paths plus a private fenced dog park. I enjoy multiple walks per day, so your pup will have lots of activity as needed. My husband is also a dog lover, and will provide lots of extra attention. I've cared for old and sick dogs, plus active young pups. There is a Special Place in my heart for Golden Retrievers! Some of our neighbors have friendly dogs, if yours likes an occasional walking companion or playmate. We have a sunny, protected deck here, so even during the winter we can enjoy lounging in the sun, if that's something your pup likes to do.

Information Mary D. would like to know about your pet
How friendly is your dog? How well does your dog get along well with other dogs? How about new people (males and females)? Is your dog FULLY house trained?
A typical day
We have 7 miles of walking paths here in our community (I enjoy long walks up to 7 miles, but certainly shorter depending on your Pup), and while indoors we like to play laser tag, ball on the stairs, and hide and seek. My husband and I have been known to teach visiting dogs new tricks, to the delight of their owners. Dogs can be crate trained or not. We are OK letting dogs roam our house at all hours.

I'm retired, living in a wonderful open but secure golf resort community. Lovely walking paths here, and a fun & playful home environment. My away-time is limited to 1-4 hours.
