Experienced Dog-Sitter
Hi there! My name is Mary Grace and I have over 18 years of dog-sitting experience. I work remote full-time, so your fur-baby will receive personalized, loving care 24/7. I'm very reliable, organized, and have a flexible schedule. I currently foster dogs for an organization that specializes in herding breeds (mainly Australian Shepherds), so it is likely I will have a foster(s) during your pet's stay. All my fosters are temperament-tested and must be able to get along with other dogs before I accept them. I've worked as a receptionist at a dog grooming facility and currently volunteer at an animal shelter (PAWS) which has helped me gain more exposure and awareness to animals with varying medical conditions that require special care. I have first-hand experience caring for special needs dogs administering insulin shots to diabetic dogs. More than happy to provide references upon request. If you or someone you know is in need of dog-sitting services, please feel free to message me for more info!

Mary Grace was amazing as always! Our dogs always love staying with her and she’s very communicative and takes care of them like her own.
She takes such good care of our pups
Kept me informed daily about how my dog was doing. Loved getting the pics she sent. Was flexible when my flight was cancelled and had no issues with taking care of my dog an additional day.
Mary Grace is amazing! My little Lucy loves her and her pup Lavender. I always have peace of mind when my pup stays with her.
Mary was amazing! Gave us a lot of communication to ensure our pups were comfortable.
She is amazing!!!!! Gizmo loved being there! Pictures and a report on how Gizmo was every day was given! Will definitely use her again!

Schedule
I work remote full-time, so your pet will be under my supervision 24/7. I typically take dogs out for walks every 4 hours, but depends on their individual needs. Drop-off and pickup times are between 8am and 8pm each day, with an additional $20 early / late fee for times outside that range.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's health and safety is my first priority. My boyfriend and I live in an apartment complex located in a safe, gated community. I have access to 2 large fenced-in dog parks and there is a wonderful walking trail around the lake. All dogs eligible to be boarded at my home must be fully house broken, crate-trained, and get along well with other dogs. Dogs are only kenneled at night or when I need to leave the house—this is for their safety and to protect my home. If your dog has recently (past 2 weeks) been in contact with Parvo, Giardia or kennel cough, unfortunately I will not accept them in my home for the safety of others in my care. Unfortunately I'm not able to accept dogs with separation anxiety.
Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. I have lots of toys we can take to the dog parks in my neighborhood and there is a wonderful trail around the lake perfect for walks! My profile states that dogs aren't allowed on my furniture / bed, but this is really just up to the owner's preference (I don't want them to pick up any bad behaviors during their stay). Dogs are more than welcome to be on my furniture / bed if that is what they are accustomed to - just make sure to clarify with me first!
