Stay at home kid and dog mom!
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Mary Jo was absolutely wonderful. Super accommodating, and Mr. Jones seem to really have a good time staying with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Grateful Mary Jo was able to watch Coco over the weekend but I was surprised to hear she decided to not feed my dog her dinner because she was having some loose stools (pretty normal for her..) I wish she would have asked me if it was ok to fast my dog instead of making that choice herself. I also left an apple in the bag for Coco to have as a treat to settle into a place she has never been before since she’s pretty anxious. Mentioned it at drop off. The apple was still in the bag. I also asked for pictures and videos which I never received. I do not think I would leave Coco again knowing that she was withheld her food for having some tummy issues.. She’s 8 years old and should stay on her normal routine as written in the notes. Coco is getting a dental procedure tomorrow so I would have really preferred to keep her on her normal eating schedule instead of fasting when she has to be fasted again for her surgery. I feel like this was just added stress for her and for me. Definitely not the review I wanted to write but I can’t get over not feeding the dog for having loose stools and not asking me if that was even ok to do. I could have easily told her it was normal and to feed her! I feel terrible my dog didn’t get her dinner last night.
Mary Jo was absolutely perfect. We have never left our pup with anyone before and we were a little nervous about it. Mary Jo put us at ease and took great care of our St Bernard. Communications were perfect, updates were timely and we will ABSOLUTELY be using Mary Jo again!
Mary Jo was a wonderful host to my little dorgi (dachshund/corgi mix) and took great care of him. It’s so good to know that you have a reliable doggie-sitter when you need one!
