Pet care experience
My name is Mary I would love to welcome your fur babies into my home, while you are away! My family - Me - I love dogs! I always have. I went to school to be a dog trainer when i was 18. I have owned German shepherds, labs, Rottweilers, pomeranians, cockerspaniels, and a couple muts. My dogs are my children and arr 100% spoiled. My backyard is a doggy heaven. I keep a 1 ft pool on the deck to cool off throughout the summer. Coedyn ( 8 yo son) - coedyn loves to run and bike and be fast all the time. Coedyn loves when we watch younger dogs so he can play fetch and tug of war. Ryker (6 yo son) Ryker loves being close and loving on the dogs! He pretends every dog is his he will give them kisses and hugs and snuggles all day. Ryker also loves giving treats to the dogs, and when I'm not looking will share his dinner with them too. Dan (my dad) - my dad lives with us as well, and helps when ever needed. Dan loves all animals! Dan helps with pickups and drop offs of dogs when I am busy with my kids. When I need to leave the house Dan will sit with the dogs so they are not alone in a strange house! Mindy moo - June 1st 2023. Mindy is learning fast! She loves people and has a problem with jumping on them. She loves to wrestle a lot! She also loves her bones. Mindy is food aggressive so she only eats in her kennel (all my dogs do for safety) her favorite place is caribou for a pup cup. Rainy( 8 yo cocker spaniel rottweiler mix) he is LOUD. He loves to bark and growl and chase things, but most of all he loves to cuddle. As a busy house of lots of people we stay active! We have a HUGE fenced in yard, with lots of bones and antlers and toys. In the summer the dogs have their own 1 ft pool they can play in or cool off in. I change the water often as to make sure it is safe. We take at least one walk a day sometimes two. If the weather is bad we go walk around fleet farm and let the dogs use their nose to guide us through the store. If wanted I can bring well trained dogs to the Shoreview dog park to run some energy.
Reviews
Mary provided excellent care for our 2 pups while we were on vacation. She even got them a treat to distract them during fireworks! She has excellent communication skills and our dogs were well taken care of.
Clover had great time with Mary and her crew! I never worried about her and knew that she was getting all the fun and love and care she needed. Mary even gave her a bath before we picked up because it got a little dirty outside after rain. Above and beyond, much appreciated! Highly recommend!
Mary did a amazing job with my old boy who had a long day prior to arriving at her house. She was patient and got out rugs for my old boy having trouble on hardwood floors. She was very understanding with my senior dog and his idiosyncrasies.
Excellent communication, really appreciated Mary! She was wonderful.

I have a 6 ft privacy fence around a big back yard. I have 2 dogs to keep you dogs company. I have a gate in my home to block off the stairs and front door to ensure dogs do not get out of the front door. I have a kennel available to use if needed. And dogs beds placed around the house for them to use. Feeding is ALLWAYS done separately. I provide dog toys and treats throughout out the day. I also offer baths.

Information Mary H. would like to know about your pet
Due to having young kids in my home. I need to know that your dogs are friendly kids and okay with kids running and moving fast. If you do not have young kids in your home i do require at meet and greet to make sure the dogs are okay with my kids. Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can help to account for. I have experience giving medications and doing some minor therapies.
A typical day
We love to go for walks around the neighborhood. I also let the dogs off leash in the tennis court at our park. This let's them run and smell in a new area. We enjoy walking around fleet farm on rainy days. We play fetch and tug and run around the yard many times through out the day.

I recently started a new job and am now at work a hydrid schedule monday- Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. On Mondays and Wednesdays I am in the office and Dan helps with any and all doggy needs. The rest of the week I work from home and the dogs play in the yard and throughout the house all day. A typical week day starts at 6 am. We get up and go outside for a little bit to wake up stretch and have a potty break! At 630 I feed breakfast in kennels/separated. From 7-8 the dogs get free play and can run in and out as they want and have fun. At 8 am I do separate all dogs and head to work. At 930 am my dad comes up and let's all of the dogs out to play and lounge around the house. During this time they are let out as much as they want to playing the fenced in back yard. At 1 pm the dogs are given a bone and separated to take a nap and my dad leaves. At 430pm I arrive home and the dogs get to run the yard for a bit and I bring them for a walk around the neighbor hood. After the walk they can play and relax while I get dinner ready for my family. At 6 pm we sit down for dinner and all dogs are separated and given their dinner. From 7-10 the dogs get to playand have fun running around. At 10pm we all go to bed. I understand while I am working the hydrid schedule, this makes me less available for pick up and drop off times and I am sorry for that! But I promise your pups will be happy and played with and come home tired!
