Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

In some cases your pet may have a special need. Maybe he is not fond of other pets, we can work with keeping your pet happy and safe and separated from others, still giving them the attention they need and want.

A typical day

Your pet dictates our day. If your pet is happy playing in a sprinkler, chasing a ball, sunning himself in the grass, that’s what our day is about. Each pet is different and like different things. We cater to their wants and needs.

Pet care experience

I have had many pets, mostly dogs and cats but we have had hamsters, Guinea pigs, ducks and a parrot. We love having animals around. We keep the group small by only taking two families pets in our home at a time. We have plenty of yard for them to roam around in and if they want to be inside that’s fine with us.

Mary is great and very accommodating. Our flight home was delayed and she reassured us that she’d take care of our fur babies and not to worry. Loved the pictures and videos she sent daily. Highly recommend.

Mary took great care of our dog Marley, even helping him with his fireworks anxiety! He enjoyed the fenced yard and we loved getting photos and updates while we were away. Definitely will be having Mary take care of Marley again.

Mary did an excellent job taking care of Luna and Max while we were away. She sent pictures or videos daily so we could see what they were up to and feel comfortable knowing they were well cared for. They came home happy and healthy. Would highly recommend Mary and would use her services again without hesitation.
