A loving home away from home

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets of different breeds and ages for years, starting when I was young and have always been able to provide loving, trusted and attentive care to every pet in my care. I am able to work with your pet on basic commands or potty training and will use any training methods you are already using if requested!

I can’t say enough good things about Mary and her family! They made it so easy and did an amazing job taking care of Moose while we were away. He can be a handful at times but they were extremely patient with him and took the time to understand his quirks. I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind during our vacation, and we’ll definitely be booking with them next time!

Mary and her family were great. Our pups love playing with her children and they get all tired out during their drop in visits. She sends lots of photos and updates. Thanks so much for taking care of our pups!

Safety, trust & environment

Having recently moved into our first home, we have the space and time and love to spare! We do use rover to watch and walk dogs and may have another dog or two scheduled during your requested stay, we ensure they eat separately, sleep in different rooms or parts of the home and only socialize with permission. If this would be an issue let me know and we can work out a private rate! We have a large home with a fenced yard. Because we have young children, the home is child proofed and free of harmful items or chemicals. I’m able to provide an attentive and safe stay for each animal in my care. We don’t allow the pets on our beds or furniture but do provide blankets if none are brought for them to lay on. We require a crate be brought for overnight sleeping and for when we need to leave the home but only use in those events. We don’t feed anything not brought with them but will give options upon drop off to allow treats we have to be used. We always ensure your pet is safe and cared for! We also love watching your pet in your own home to make sure they feel even more comfortable and adjusted to their environments and are more than happy to go over details with you if you think this would be a better fit for your pet! We know this ends up being less stressful on your pet and we watch many pets that do much better this way! While we can’t stay the night, we do come several times for extended periods throughout the day depending on what your pet is needing to make sure your pet has plenty of time to eat, be outside or play!

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

Things I need to know ahead of time are aggression level and interactions with other animals, any current medical needs, if dog is strictly inside or outside, how they do in a crate and if you have one, how your pet is protected from fleas, if being around other dogs while being sat is ok, normal schedules, special requests and how your dog reacts while you are away.

A typical day

I love to play with and stimulate your pets mind. I love to play games, go on walks, pet and scratch, hold and cuddle, and talk to your pet throughout the day. My kids are the most adorable and loving with animals and love to play non stop and create true connections full of laughter!

I’m a mother of 3 and am fully stay at home. The kids and I love to walk and play with and love on the dogs we watch while my husband is at work, and go on hikes or longer walks when he’s home ensuring your pet isn’t just watched, but is fully loved up and cared for!
