Pet care experience

I adopted my first dog at 12 and never looked back. I am happy to say that I have always had a furry companion to snuggle with since. I am experienced with older senior pet needs as well as puppies. The care and safety of your dog will always be my priority. I would like to do a meet and greet before to learn about your pet’s personality, needs and to address details of care. I have experience in administering meds and any special diets for your dog. I am trained in pet CPR & First aid and have cared for senior dogs with multiple heath issues in the past. I believe and respect that dogs are an important part of a family. All dogs must have current rabies vaccinations Please note for daycare you need to bring up to date proof of vaccinations including rabies and boardatella. No exceptions. Thank you.

Mary is a true dog person and cares for every dog like it is a part of her family. For 9+ years, Mary has been watching our pug, Bear, and French bulldog, Winston. She has been very flexible with our busy work schedules and goes out of her way to accommodate last minute bookings. We have boarded Bear and Winston at her home while we are traveling for 1-2 weeks or longer. Her home is meticulously clean with a very secure fenced in back yard. Her dog, Lowee, is very friendly and loves other dogs and people. She lets our dogs sleep in her bedroom, walks them around her neighborhood (very quiet street) and sits/plays with them in her back yard. We also have Mary come by our home on a regular basis to dog sit and do daily walks. Mary always sends us text messages with updates and pictures. She follow’s all the directions we provide and calls us if anything comes up. Our pug is much older now and has respiratory issues, arthritis, and only one eye. Mary always takes her time walking him and correctly gives him his five different medications throughout the course of the day. My wife and I highly recommend Mary.

Mary has been our go-to pet sitter for over ten years, taking exceptional care of our animals. While she provides a loving environment for our animals, she also has a keen understanding of dog behavior and making sure the environment is safe for our dog. She has consistently shown conscientious and responsible care for our Bullmastiff Astro whose strength and personality made her a challenging dog to care for. We have always appreciated that Mary also takes the time to communicate and provide updates to us during our pets’ stay with her. I would highly recommend her for boarding your dog!

Information Mary F. would like to know about your pet

A meet in greet is necessary before you book walks. I want to get to know your pet, their needs and any special details on diet. I prefer small dogs although I have owned many large dogs in the past.

A typical day

I am retired from my day job so I have plenty of time to play with and walk your dog. I have a Norfolk Terrier that just loves to take long walks and explore. He loves to make new friends but if your dog is shy, I will accommodate their needs. Parks, beach or just a walk in the neighborhood.
