I'm a retired healthcare professional, enjoying my time at home with my husband and our dog, Izzy. We’re both home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I love taking daily walks with Izzy and would be thrilled to include your dog in our outdoor adventures. I'm very flexible and more than happy to accommodate any special requests to ensure your dog feels right at home.

Safety, trust & environment
While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, rest assured that all dogs in my care will be securely taken out on a leash if needed for their safety. I enjoy taking long walks, so your pup will receive plenty of exercise and outdoor time. With many years of experience in childcare, I understand the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of your loved ones, whether they are children or dogs. Your dog will be treated with the utmost care and attention, just like a member of my own family.
Home
Information Mary H. would like to know about your pet
It is very important that your dog is well socialized with adults, children and other dogs. Our dog Izzy is very sweet and curious about other dogs. I can not take in any aggressive dogs. On occasion I have 2 grandsons that could be visiting. Dogs in my care need to be kid friendly.
A typical day
Your dog will enjoy a day filled with exercise and fresh air. We’ll take long walks through my peaceful, wooded neighborhood, and sometimes, we’ll venture to a nearby nature area for a hike. With plenty of outdoor activities and quiet moments to relax, your pup will return home happy and content.

Reviews

Mary was excellent with my dog, Sadie. This was the first time Sadie stayed with Mary, and I was confident Sadie was receiving good care and plenty of attention. Mary is very kind and communicates well. I appreciated the photos and reports that Sadie was eating well. Sadie and Mary's dog got along well, and there's a lovely yard for outdoor time. I definitely will book Mary again, and I highly recommend her.

Again, I feel so blessed to have Mary care for my dog, Chloe. Chloe and Izzy get along great and Chloe has a wonderful time with Mary’s family and the outdoor walks and their cozy home.

Mary was extremely communicative and engaged with Odin during his stay. Sharing pictures of fun walks and outdoor play sessions. It's wonderful having a trusted caretaker for Odin where we know he is looked after so well.

Mary and her husband are so wonderful with Chloe. I feel so comfortable leaving Chloe with them and their dog Izzy. I cannot express how thankful I am to have found Mary!
