I work from home and love to have companion pups to care for and keep me company! Early and late drop offs are fine. My teen children and parents live with me so it is rare that someone would not be home.

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or anxiety such as thunder storms or fireworks. Please provide feeding instructions and commands that you typically use. If there is a bedtime routine or sleeping arrangements that they are used to, we can try to accommodate. We would like to make your pet feel as comfortable with us as possible!

A typical day

We start the day early with outdoor play and breakfast. We play outside again from 12-1 and take multiple quick potty breaks throughout the day. I always do a late night potty trip before bedtime. The dogs I care for our usually exhausted at bedtime and sleep well after all day socializing and play.

Pet care experience

**FYI the Rover calendars are not updating. Rover is working on a fix. I am fully booked through 9/25 and again 9/29-10/12 We love dogs! I am a work from home mother of three children ages 24, 18 and 16. We had a beautiful well behaved Golden Retriever for 13 years and now we love to babysit our friends and relatives dogs while they are out of town. We also love our smaller pets. We have two indoor cats that most dogs find interesting, but they keep their distance. For their protection, we need to ensure we only book cat friendly dogs. We have a large house and yard with plenty of room for your dog to stretch their legs. I work from a home office and love having a companion to spend time with. You can feel comfortable knowing that there is a watchful eye on your loved one. I provide plenty of breaks, inside and outside play time and companionship. I use GreenWorks Lawn Care and barrier program for a chemical free, mosquito and tick free safe lawn for your pets. Ask for more information when you visit. Before hosting new pets, I will arrange a meet and greet to ensure your dog feels comfortable in my home with other pets. I will take the time to understand your pet and any special routines that you would like me to keep while you are away. I will provide photos and videos of your pet to put your mind at ease. Feel free to call me any time so that we can love your pet while you are away!

Mary was great! Very communicative from the start and flexible. She has a great set up for dogs and I loved the fact that she works from home. Highly recommend!

My Golden Retriever really enjoyed her stay with Mary! She enjoyed her visit so much that she didn’t want to leave to go home, lol!
