Pet care experience

Professional experience includes previous kennel manager for police dept. strays and abused animals. Went the extra mile to return strays to owners before going to the pound. Pet first aid/CPR certified, even canine massage. Previous rescue agency in-home foster, including taking dogs to medical appointments/helping to find forever homes. Have taken many dog training classes-intuitive about needs. Hired professional dog trainers for parks and recreation classes. I love to exercise and engage animals when owners are away and enjoy training commands in a fun, motivating manner. I have always been an animal lover and never had human children. I take my dogs hiking, camping, paddle boarding, traveling all over the country. Animals love my energy and so will you. Can give oral meds, including eye drops. One of my Basset hounds had glaucoma and had to remove both eyes, she lived a full life even after her world was totally black. I am patient and go the extra mile for animal care.

Once I met with her prior to our trip, I felt totally comfortable leaving my two dogs in the care of Mary Jo in our home. She is truly a dog lover! I felt that she enjoyed the dogs and the dogs really enjoyed her. She kept to their schedule and went above and beyond to keep them safe and happy.

Information Mary Jo K. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know the pet’s age, health concerns, habits, fears, what motivates them and if they have any aggressive tendencies.

A typical day

Walks will be in your neighborhood and if there is close beach or a park, we will go there-great smells! and can change up the route. We can play fetch, teach commands for treats or toys, swim or whatever you suggest since you know your pet.
