Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs all my life and considered them my children before I had my kids. My last dogs were a 14 yr old ShihTzu and 16 yr old Lhasa Apso (who developed diabetes at 14 and needed 2 insulin injections/day and forced to eat). She went into kidney failure the week before I had my daughter so my vet urged me to put her down. The 14 yr old basically died of a broken heart 6 months later. Losing both broke my heart too and I found it difficult to replace them so I haven’t yet. But now I see I should have because my kids are missing out on that unconditional love they give us. Now I’m a single mom of teenagers ready to give every dog I meet a lot of love and TLC. So until I’m able to welcome a fur baby into our family, I would love to dote on yours! We take my dad’s dog on walks, to dog parks and speed runs at the school playground as much as possible. Weekends are the best time for me since I work full-time on weekdays. But evenings during the week work too! Thanks!

Mary Jo dropped in on our small dog for the first time this weekend. She was great at communication and dependable. She seemed interested in our dog's personality and ensuring that she knew what to expect so that she could provide the best care specific to our dog. Would definitely recommend!

Mary Jo did great with my puppy! She took him on so many walks and really wore him out. He had a great time, and I will definitely use Mary Jo and her children next time I’m out of town!

I’ve known Mary Jo for over 20 years. She’s beyond loving and compassionate when it comes to pet care. She nursed one of her own dogs through insulin shots. She would always be my first choice for dog watching! If you choose her, you will never regret traveling and leaving your little love in her care.

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

Small breeds are best since my son is more comfortable with that size. Is your dog sociable or have aggression towards other dogs when on walks? My dads is a Cairn terrier and lunges at larger breeds when he’s on walks. We can handle it but just need to be aware.

A typical day

Walking trails and school playgrounds are the best to let dogs explore and run.
