Pet care experience

All pets. All the time.

I've been caring for my own and others pets for over 40 years. I've worked at pet stores, presented snakes/reptiles to elementary schools, and cared for my numerous pets of all types. You'll find that with my experience and maturity I am trustworthy, friendly, calm, caring, flexible and communicative. Throughout the care of your pet, I will send photos throughout the time they are in my care. A picture says a thousand words, after all. As a nearly lifetime desert resident, I also understand our weather and how it affects pets. I've also fostered numerous dogs and cats until permanent homes were found. Even pregnant animals, from which our very own dog, Bubba, is one of those pups. Bubba is friendly with all dogs, as is our cat, Hazel.

Mary is great! She goes above and beyond, not just with her wonderful care of our cat but also brining packages in out of the rain or changing a battery in the smoke detector while we were away.

I had a lot of nerve to use this service because for my canelo he is like my baby and he has a precise and careful routine. but since my interview with mary I knew that he was the right one and it was the best success, the best decision, if you are one of the humans who take care of and treat your furry like the kings of the house mary is undoubtedly the indicated. I respect his food schedules, I share with canelo lowering his anxiety levels with strategic walks and he always kept an eye on his care specials like changing diapers. I am very happy with the professionalism of your services. thank you mary, professionals like you give a lot of credit to this application.

Schedule

I care for my aging mom who lives with me and I work remotely as a dispatcher for a plumbing company. My hours are very flexible and pet sitting fits in well with those commitments.

A typical day

I love walking dogs and am very attentive to their needs, such as sniffing, marking, and whether or not they want to "chat" with other dogs. Dogs need exercise and outdoor activities, so I will be sure they get that every day!

I will care for all breeds and simply need to know their current routine so that I may do my best to see that they are well cared for, just as you would.
