Pet care experience

Love all animals!

I am active and enjoy hiking and walks in nature with four legged friends. Your babies will be cared for like family. Sorry, but I don't accept aggressive breeds (Pit bulls, Rottweilers or any dogs over 75lbs.) I love to make animals happy and contented. I believe in positive care and love to them. Their comfort while their parents are away is my priority. My property is fully fenced large lot. I am with them the entire time outside. I have some experience training dogs. I taught commands by voice and hand signals successfully. We can do meet and greets. I am very responsible and would do everything possible to make sure your pet is safe and happy while you are away.

Boarding • Sep 16, 2026

Mary is just wonderful. This was her first time watching our corgi Collins and I just knew I could trust her implicitly including managing Collins' dog reactivity. It is so obvious that she genuinely loves animals and will care for anyone else's pet the same as she would care for her own. It was clear when we picked Collins up that she had made herself right at home with Mary and didn't want to leave which is always a great sign :)

House Sitting • Aug 22, 2026

First time using Rover and Mary was great! Updated us with photos, took great care of Josie, our home and our flowers! Took Josie on lots of happy walks. And, love that Mary is retired and could be here most of the time & overnight. Will definitely request Mary again when we need a sitter.😍
