Highlights
Pet care experience
Snuggles to Walks, It's Covered!
I've had animals all my life (from hamsters and goldfish to cats, small and big dogs). I've sat for friends and others who have had big dogs, small dogs, cats and dogs with special needs (administering diabetes injections, medications, diapers, those with mobility issues, etc. and am not intimidated by any condition). I've also been a volunteer for RAGOM (Rescue a Golden of the Midwest) for over 20 years and have transported dogs, interviewed potential adopters with ALWAYS the dog's care in mind for their best forever home. I have just retired recently and have found my calling with my compassion for all animals. I just love their unconditional love and feel so much joy in caring for them!

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fenced in yard, but have 1/2 acre lot on a corner .... my dog usually goes out on a tie out, but dogs I have sat in my home, I would take out on a leash in the yard and on lots of walks (yes, even in the wee hours of the morning in the winter!) I would do the same or whatever direction the client would request if at their home as well.
Ratings and reviews
My dog Bullet had a great time with Mary Jo and their home. Very knowledgeable with fog’s behaviors. She always updated us and was so easy to work with and very flexible. Bullet was so pampered! Highly recommend and will rebook with her again.
Mary Jo did an exceptional job taking care of our dog. She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures. We highly recommend Mary Jo.
Mary Jo is an excellent sitter, she has been watching my dog since he was a puppy and sometimes I wonder if he prefers to be with her. She's very caring and treats him as her own. He comes back a little spoiled but I know it's because he gets a vacation while I get a vacation. More so recently she has been watching both of my dogs now that I got a second one and she's still very attentive. I know they will be in good hands and if there was ever a problem from either of them I would hear immediately. Your pet will always be in good hands with Mary Jo!
Mary Jo Olson took care of my miniature poodle, Dakota Jo, a number of times. Dakota Jo loved Mary Jo. Mary Jo was loving to Dakota Jo and Dakota Jo loved her. As Dakota Jo’s health issues began to present themselves Mary Jo was still willing to come alongside her. This included administering insulin injections and medications that needed to be given at scheduled times, as well as changing diapers. Mary Jo was the one who came alongside me as I made the difficult decision of Dakota Jo’s end of life. I highly recommend Mary Jo to be a part of your organization.
To whom it concerns; Mary Jo is the most compassionate lover of animals I have ever known, and I've known her for 54 years. I dare think there is no better endorsement possible. If you care about who cares for your furry family, be at peace if Mary Jo is caring for your pet. She is one the best humans on the planet.
