Highlights
Pet care experience
Athletic , Caring , Energetic!
I have had many different pets -chickens, goats, dogs, horses, fish that I have owned or sponsored. Our family dog died a year ago at age 14 and I’d like to be around dogs again! We have fostered dogs and cats from Milo, SPCA, cared for a rescue dog from Katrina Hurricane, helped with fostering sick cats from Fairfax. We also help neighbors with dog sitting. I even helped a hospitalized elder woman caring for her dog for 3 weeks. I would love to give your furry , family member a home away from home! There is open space, parks, water in walking distance! Hope I can help!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great communicator, very caring and attentive - highly recommend!
Mary was great! I’d be super happy to leave my dog with her again. Very flexible, caring and communicative. Thank you!
Mary was wonderful with my old somewhat needy dog, taking many often longer walks around the neighborhood, giving me feedback and asking questions about his adjustment issues. I would definitely choose her again to take in my dog.
Mary has taken care of our older Goldendoodle Chessie a few times now. I highly recommend her! She is caring, thoughtful, energetic, communicative and genuinely loves dogs. Your pup is in the best hands with Mary.
Mary has been so good to my dog, we will definitely board with her again! I appreciated the regular updates and pictures. Mary is also a very kind person and I enjoyed our discussions.
Mary took my dog on many walking and hiking adventures. She’s sent me photos too! She’s a terrific communicator such that my dog and I bonded with her. While I’m no longer in the area, if I were I’d certainly ask Mary to care for my dog over and over again.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard. There are no other pets in the home to compete with . I will be always walking the pet on a leash for safety.
A typical day
