Information Mary & John M. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know what preferences your dog may have: do they need a crate at night to feel safe? Do they enjoy certain treats? How do they react to others on walks? Do they enjoy belly rubs and snuggles?

A typical day

I love playing fetch, soccer, and running around the yard with pups! We have a ton of dog toys to keep them stimulated and lots of comfy areas for them to rest and relax. There are multiple parks nearby that I love to take dogs to sniff, run, and explore.

Loving pet sitting & backyard oasis

Pet care experience

John and I are pet lovers. We have both had dogs our entire lives. We currently have a sweet senior pup, named Sonny. Sonny is mellow and loving at the ripe age of 12. Our sweet angel pup, Tessa, passed recently with cancer. Medication administering is no problem, as that had become our day to day. I am a nurse that now works from home and John is an at home web developer. With this flexibility we are home 24/7 with your loved ones. I take Sonny on daily morning walks to the four parks near our house, all within half a mile. If you would like daily walks for your pup, I am certainly happy to have them tag along! We work with positive reinforcement and reward based behavior. We love teaching pups new tricks and working with them day to day to maintain their skills. Our home is single story, with three stairs around the house and out to the back yard. It is perfect for senior pups and smaller dogs! Our backyard is a dog oasis! Lots of grass and free range roaming, all completely fenced in with 8 foot wood fencing and chain link fencing behind our large 25 foot hedge. If you have any questions or would like a meet and greet, please let us know! We would be happy to bring Sonny along or meet in our big backyard!

Our dog considers Mary &John’s house her second home! They take loving care of our 14 yr old Chihuahua mix. Very grateful!

Our Cricket gets such good care and tons of love from Mary & John! Cricket lives snuggling up with them in the evening. She gets nice walks to the park, and plenty of time to play outside in the well fenced backyard.

We love Mary & John as our preferred boarder for our 13 yr old 20 lb chihuahua mix! They give her loving care! Plenty of walks and snuggles! Great backyard for lounging on the deck or roaming the lawn.
