Information Mary F. would like to know about your pet

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.

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. If desired, I also enjoy taking dogs to the dog park for socialization. Dogs need exercise and outdoor activities, so I will be sure they get that every day!

Pet care experience

I've been caring for my own and others pets for over 35 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.

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.
