I’m a stay-at-home mom with plenty of free time and a love for animals! Aside from the occasional grocery trip, I’m home all day and would be honored to care for your pup as part of our family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to a special routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know all about their routine, personality, and any special needs! Please let me know: ✔ Feeding schedules and dietary restrictions ✔ Potty routine and any house-training details ✔ How they do around other dogs and new people ✔ Favorite toys, activities, or comfort items ✔ Behaviors or triggers I should be aware of (barking, chewing, anxiety, etc.) The more I know, the better I can make them feel right at home!

A typical day

A typical day in my home is all about fun, comfort, and care! We start the morning with potty breaks and playtime in the yard. Throughout the day, your pup will enjoy plenty of cuddles, interactive play, and short walks (weather permitting). I also love giving mental stimulation with toys, basic training practice, and treat puzzles. In the afternoon, it’s time for more play or cozy nap time on soft blankets. Evenings end with another potty break, relaxation, and lots of love before bedtime. Every dog in my care gets attention tailored to their personality, whether that’s extra belly rubs, gentle walks, or playtime with toys.

Your pup's second home!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or nervous dogs feel comfortable and safe. I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of attention, belly rubs, and playtime! What sets me apart is my patience, calm approach, and ability to read each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, gentle cuddles, or special care, I make sure they feel right at home. I also understand the importance of routine and will follow your care instructions closely. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priority!
