Happy tails and trusted care

Pet care experience

I have a profound passion for animals and a demonstrated background in shelter work, I am confident in my ability to provide the same love and attention that you give to your animals at home. My commitment to animal welfare has been a driving force throughout my life, where I have actively engaged in various roles within animal shelters. These experiences have honed my skills in animal care. I take pride in providing compassionate care to animals in need, ensuring their well-being while you are away. This hands-on experience has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and rewards associated with animal welfare work that I can also provide to your pets.

I’m so glad I was able to book with Mary for my weekend out of town! She was such a joy to work with and I felt totally confident leaving my fur baby with her. She was polite and professional and so sweet sending pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Will definitely book with her again!

Mary has done a great job with all of my dogs. All of them have taken to her. I think 2 want to go home with her. Which is a testament to how good she is with taking care of all of them. Thank you Mary.

Information Mary Elizabeth Z. would like to know about your pet

Clear communication is key to ensuring the well-being of your cherished pet under my care. Please feel free to share any specific behaviors, routines, or special needs that require attention. Whether it's a unique feeding schedule, medication requirements, or certain triggers that may affect their behavior, understanding these details allows me to provide the most personalized and attentive care. Your insights into your pet's preferences and quirks are invaluable, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience for your furry friend. Open lines of communication enable me to adapt my care approach, guaranteeing that your pet receives the individualized attention they deserve throughout our time together.

A typical day

For dogs, I can engage in a variety of fun activities to keep them happy and active. Daily walks in the neighborhood or a nearby park provide exercise and mental stimulation. Playtime with toys, such as fetch or tug-of-war, taps into their natural instincts and builds a strong bond. Interactive puzzle feeders challenge their minds, making mealtime engaging. For cats, interactive toys like feather wands or laser pointers stimulate their hunting instincts. Creating an enriching environment with scratching posts, climbing structures, and cozy hiding spots adds excitement to their day. Gentle brushing or interactive play sessions with feather toys can provide a great bonding experience. Ultimately, a mix of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and affectionate interactions ensures that the pets are not only well cared for but also thoroughly entertained during the pet-sitting experience.

In the whirlwind of a full-time college schedule and working, pet care seamlessly weaves into my daily routine, enriching my life as a student with two delightful animal companions. Mornings begin with shared moments of joy and playful energy, setting a positive tone for the day. Amidst classes and study sessions, breaks transform into cherished walks and cuddles, grounding me in the present. I do work for FUSD during the week (M-F) from 7:30 to about 3:00. However the responsibility of pet care acts as a valuable anchor, fostering discipline and routine amidst academic demands. Evenings find solace in the comforting presence of my animals, creating a soothing counterbalance to the rigors of college life. The bond we share becomes not only a source of joy but also a therapeutic thread weaving through the fabric of my busy student routine, proving that amidst the chaos, the simplicity of pet companionship adds immeasurable richness to my daily life.
