I homeschool my children so we are home all the time. They do have activities that I drive them to so there are days I am in and out. It’s never more than a 2 hour window. If I have daycare puppies I make sure it’s days that I don’t have to run around or my husband is here.

Their tolerance level with children and which activities they enjoy most. I would also like to know their experience in a setting with other dogs, I am looking for dogs who are dog park friendly non-agressive

Pet care experience

We are available for all of your pet care needs. My husband and I do the boarding part as a team. I spend about 80% of my time with the pets, if I ever need to run out you can rest assured that they are in great care with him as well. They are never left alone except for maybe an hour or so if we have church. As far as drop in service that would only be myself. I will be more than happy to house your pet and make them feel like they are at their home away from home. I am also more than happy to come to your home and give your pet the love and care required while you’re away. I will make sure that the care of your furry family member is one thing you don’t need to worry about. If they have certain routines or needs I will make sure they are met. I provide plenty of attention and care, feeding, potty breaks, walks, brushing and bathing. Your pet will be my top priority. I am very excited to help you out whenever needed. You won’t regret hiring me.

Mary is awesome with our elderly kitties. We are moving out of state and will miss her and her family.

We would be lost without Mary, she is truly the best you can find. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we never have to worry when we are away.
