Highlights
Pet care experience
A home away from home for your fur
I'm a homemaker and have been caring for dogs for several years. I also have experience fostering dogs for local rescues and volunteering at the animal shelter, which has given me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities and needs. We have three dogs of our own, Benji, Bruno and Whitey, who are part of our family. When your dog stays with us, I want them to feel comfortable, safe and at home too. Because I’m home throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates during their stay so you can see how they’re doing. I currently provide care for adult dogs only and no longer accept puppies.

Ratings and reviews
Mary and her family were so amazing with my fur baby, Koa. It was his first time staying with people other than family. They made Koa feel so welcome in their home and was treated like one of their own! I was so relieved to receive lots of picture and video updates from Mary throughout his stay to know he was doing well and having fun! I would definitely recommend Mary to anyone nervous about leaving your pet! I will definitely have Koa stay again in the future if needed! Thank you so much Mary for taking such great care of Koa!
Mary did an incredible job of caring for my two dogs. She treated them like they were part of her family. She also sent me photos of them while I was away and they looked so loved and happy in the pictures. I would highly recommend her services.
I highly recommend her to take care at her pet very attentive she sent several photos for me and videos too besides taking a walk with him in some places like Starbucks, I liked it a lot and for sure if I travel to the region again. I will have no doubts and I'll left Odin with her. Thank you very much.
I’m so happy with the service Mary provided while watching my dog, Daisy. She made me feel so at ease with the amount of pictures and text messages she provided me to ensure Daisy was doing well. Each picture Daisy looked happy! Mary has a personality that is calm, gentle, warming and everything I would want for someone who is watching my dog. She went above and beyond! I definitely recommend her!!!!
Cruz had a great 5-night stay with Mary and her family.
Mary was awesome! I felt at ease knowing she helps foster dogs and cats. She responded quickly and promptly and was able to meet all my needs! I would definitely recommend Mary!

Schedule
I’m a homemaker and am home most of the day, aside from running errands and our normal family activities. This allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care and provide regular potty breaks, attention, playtime and companionship. Dogs are rarely left alone for long periods of time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I try to make every dog staying with us feel comfortable and at home. We have a backyard for regular potty breaks and outdoor time, and I follow each dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. We have three friendly dogs of our own, so I do require visiting dogs to be comfortable around other dogs. You’re also welcome to bring their bed, blanket, crate or favorite toys if having familiar things will help them settle in. I only provide overnight boarding in my home and currently care for adult dogs only. I no longer accept puppies.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I try to follow the routine they’re already used to at home. A typical day includes regular potty breaks, backyard time, walks when appropriate, playtime and plenty of time relaxing and hanging out with us. Since I’m home most of the day, they get lots of attention and companionship. At night, I follow their usual sleeping routine as closely as I can, and owners are welcome to bring their dog’s bed, blanket or crate to help them feel more at home. Most importantly, I want their stay to feel comfortable and relaxed while their family is away.

- I don’t have a breed preference, but I do want to make sure every dog is a good fit for our home. Before their stay, I’d like to know their age, temperament, normal routine, feeding schedule, energy level and how they do around other dogs and new people. Please also let me know about any medications, allergies, medical needs, separation anxiety, resource guarding, escape tendencies or other behaviors I should be aware of. Since we have three dogs of our own, visiting dogs must be comfortable and safe around other dogs. I currently accept adult dogs only and do not board puppies. My goal is to make sure your dog is safe, comfortable and a good match for our home before their stay.
