Stay at home kid and dog mom!

Hello! I grew up with dogs and have always lived with dogs except during my college and traveling years in my 20's. I have rescued two dogs and have a special place in my heart for mutts! I have had shy dogs, high energy dogs, old dogs, you name it! Since I stay at home with my two kids, I will always be available for the dogs I board--I only run out for errands. I will be happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddle time or any special need a dog client may have. I also am happy to go to a dog's home to feed or walk them if the owner is away. I have one 14 year old dog, Coco, who basically sits on the couch and minds her own business!

Mary Jo was so wonderful! She was super responsive, flexible, and my dog Penny absolutely loved her.

Mary Jo was great 😊 Our little CornedBeef was well taken care of and bonded with her temporary family while we were away. Sue was very communicative and flexible. We are happy to use her again!

Mary Jo watched Franny while I was in town for a family memorial. She was very kind and I am so appreciative!

Mary Jo was terrific! I always get nervous leaving Moose--our 10 year-old maltipoo-- with someone new. Moose usually starts whining and pulling on his leash to go home. Not this time! Moose seemed to sense that Mary Jo was a dog person. He went right off with her--he didn't even look back. I immediately felt relieved. Mary Jo kept us in the loop with updates and photos. When I picked Moose up, he seemed happy. Great experience for Moose and his family.
