Pet care experience

The Senior/Special needs Caregiver

"My lifelong passion for dogs began right at home, growing up with two wonderful large breed companions. This early experience taught me the patience and structure required for big personalities. However, my deepest commitment comes from the 14 beautiful years I spent caring for my handicapped, three-legged rescue, Daisy. Her needs required constant, patient dedication and attention to her physical well-being, specifically her joints and mobility. Through her, I learned firsthand how to provide gentle support, administer medication, and prioritize comfort and loving care. I bring this same level of experienced, dedicated attention to every pet, ensuring your dog—whether they need special joint care, slow walks, or just extra cuddles—receives the most devoted and thoughtful care possible."

Safety, trust & environment

I am very accommodating If the dog needs to be in a special area during the day or at night. I can accommodate those needs, meds distribution, help up and down stairs, lifting in and out of cars. Waterless baths, teeth brushing I am willing to do all of that.

Mary Frances was great with our 8 year old Yorkie. She sent lots of pics and even called a couple of times.

Mary Francis was great! Our pup, Sylvie, can be shy but she loved our sitter immediately. We're new to the area and appreciated all of Mary Francis's suggestions and ideas. We're hopeful she will sit for Sylvie again.

Absolutely outstanding! Mary Frances took quality care of our pups and our home. She kept us updated consistently and was very thorough with care instructions. Will definitely rebook!

Mary Frances is a life long animal enthusiast and devoted pet owner. While growing up, Mary Frances cared for her family's dogs and later developed a passion for all things equine-which then transitioned into using equine therapy to help Veterans. Mary Frances intentionally adopts "special needs" animals and then adapts their care to accommodate for any disabilities. Mary Frances provides digital updates, both text and photo, allowing you to follow your pet's time with her.

Mary Frances is excellent! She took care of my two babies — one puppy and one senior dog — while I was away for a week. She was excellent with communication, reliability and just general care. Experienced with senior dog care and super patient with puppies. We felt so at ease with them in her care. 10/10 would recommend!

Please let me know if your dog have special needs or requirements ahead of time. Also If we can find a time for me to meet the dog prior to pet sitting and meet and discuss needs with owners ahead of stay.
