Safety, trust & environment

I only offer dog walking, dog drop-ins or dog sitting in the pet parents home. Pets are more comfortable in their own home and it could be disruptive or stressful for them to be away from their own home let alone their family being gone.

Information Mary F. would like to know about your pet

Any questions or concerns will be discussed at the time of the meet/greet to discuss expectations, routines and overall care. Each family has specific concerns and the care would be customized based on the requests. I love all breeds of dogs!

A typical day

Dogs should have exercise such as playing or being walked. I enjoy walking dogs! Or if the backyard is fenced in, provide play time like fetching the ball or tug of war plus cuddle time between visits. It's important that the dog feels secure and cared for while their family is away. Being consistent in their schedule, in terms, of what time to feed and provide a break outside is very important!

Pet care experience

I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds and currently own 1 dog. Buck is a mixed hound breed with high energy that demands constant attention. All of our dogs have gone through obedience classes and I have experience on using training techniques. My favorite past time is walking our dog, pet sitting for family, friends or referrals. My dog handling and sitting experience ranges from young puppies up to senior age dogs and I'm also qualified to administer medicine. Most dogs are more comfortable in their own home while their family is away, which is less anxiety plus gives the owners peace of mind. I work full time during the day but would be available for overnight pet sitting or to do drop-ins to feed and walk your dog(s) before work, around lunch time or after work. More time would be spent with your dog(s) after 5pm, to feed, play, walk or provide overall care. It's been great to meet wonderful dog owners and their pets through Rover. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to meeting you and spoiling your fur babies! References available upon request - Mary

I have used a couple different people in the past, but I believe I have found the best yet. My cats loved them and they are happy and healthy when I came back. Thank you Mary and your Husband for taking great care of the fur babies. I’ll be using you in the future.

Mary was exceptional with our dog! We've done 2 bookings with her now, and we would highly recommend her. Our dog doesn't always feel comfortable taking long walks with people she doesn't know, and she was comfortable walking with Mary from the start.

We loved Mary! She took amazing care of our two dogs, one senior and one puppy, and took care of our house as well! Will absolutely book with her again!
