Pet care experience

Reliable, Caring and Trustworthy

Hello! I am here to love your pets! I have always been a dog and cat lover, and they usually love me too!! I've taken care of pets for over 35 years. I started off as a teenager with neighbors and family, and now have multiple regular clients. I will give your pet quality attention, as if my own. I also have experience caring for guinea pigs, chinchillas, and turtles. I can do drop-ins, walks and overnights. I am available to stay at your home, to provide extra comfort to your pets. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear drops, and insulin injections. My older dog has diabetes, so I know how to test blood sugar and how to treat if high or low. References can back up my quality care, responsibility, and reliability.

Mary is amazing! Not only can she care for your dogs, but also horses 🐴. She came out Christmas morning to feed our horse while we were gone. She is reliable, kind, and amazing with animals. Thank you!

Mary is a very, kind, patient and conscientious person. She loves dogs and cats. She is a pet owner herself. She has cared for my dogs in my home. They absolutely love her. She took excellent care of them and administered medication and special diets. Mary will take excellent care of your pet!

Mary has watched my animals twice now. She takes care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats with no issues. She provides their medication to them when needed and on time. She also has been very great with my elderly dog that has cushings and doesn't have the best control with his bladder. We are very thankful for meeting Mary and plan to use her for all of our needs while in Lexington!!

So grateful for Mary. Couldn’t have survived the last couple years without her. She’s dependable & takes good care of my 4 legged kids. It’s a relief when I know she’s there.

Mary did an incredible job watching our dogs through the holidays. We had multiple flight cancellations and Mary was so flexible and reliable, extending care until we made it home safely. She sent regular pictures which helped ease some of the anxiety I had missing the pups, and we came home to a clean home, happy and healthy dogs, and she even brought in the mail for us! We are so grateful we found her.

It is important to know a pet's temperament and if there have been any signs of aggression. I have experience with all ages of animals, from puppies to seniors. I can assist in care for pets with special needs, as well as with medication schedules.
