Working with dogs is my passion!
Pet care experience
*3 night minimum for house sitting* I also have experience with horses, sheep, goats, chickens and other farm animals! I have been working with dogs all my life, but professionally over the last 7 years. From dog walking, sitting & boarding in Boston, MA to Sonoma County, CA! I understand doggie language, and always treat them with care and respect. I have a genuine love for canines, and truly care about their life experience. I am equipped with the know-how and experience to make decisions that best serve the dogs safety and happiness. I can administer medication, care for elderly dogs and puppies. From rescued, traumatized Chihuahuas, to pure bred Borzoi - I've met and worked with many different kinds of dogs. I can say that I truly enjoy getting to spend time with them all!
Reviews
Mary Frances is trustworthy, reliable and she takes great care of my little fur babies. She sends me regular updates without me asking and I really appreciate that. She even made a visit last minute.
Mary was awesome! She sat for our very energetic dog Harold in our home for a whole week while we were gone on vacation. She provided daily updates to us and kept us very well informed on how Harold was doing and took him on hikes and played with him. She also checked in with us to make sure she knew how to use our household appliances before she used them if our directions were unclear. Both Harold and our home were in very good hands while we were gone and we will try to hire her again the next time we're away!
Mary Francis took care of my dogs for a week when I was in the hospital. Then she brought them home and stayed with me for several days, taking care of all of us. Now that I have recovered, she is helping me with gardening work. When she comes, my dogs are so excited and happy to see her again. She is honest, reliable, responsible, and competent, and always with a steady, pleasant disposition. responsible
MF looked after my 5 dogs, 10 chickens and guest dogs that stay at my small kennels in Petaluma. The dogs liked her right away, she is diligent, caring, observant, and has a great love for dogs. I would highly recommend her.

Information Mary-Frances W. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the dogs history with people as well as other dogs. I need to know if the dog has any medical conditions, allergies, special needs. And of course what the dog prefers in terms of physical activity, petting/attention, etc.
A typical day
I love to walk/hike with dogs, and to play with them! What ever the dogs physical needs are, I am adaptable.
