It's all about the Paws here!

Pet care experience

It's all about the Paws here! Your baby will be treated like family here! Happy paws=Happy home! My family loves dogs! We both work from home so we will always be around your fur babies! We had 2 fur babies (dogs) of our own that crossed the rainbow bridge just over a year ago from cancer and congestive heart failure. They were 11 and 14 years old. We love watching other peoples babies because we aren’t ready to have our own again yet. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses and cattle. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I ensure that the fur babies are walked, played with so they can burn energy, and attended to exactly how my client(s) prefer. We do require a crate for overnight sleep time. Note- Pets must be picked up prior to 7:00pm. If you will be later than this, please add an extra day to your booking. Special arrangements can be discussed.

Amazing sitter. She sent videos and pictures and communicated the whole time. She even sent my babies home with a Christmas gift!

Mary was wonderful with Izzy! She made sure she got all the snuggles she needed to keep her calm and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. Will definitely book with Mary again!

Mary was amazing! My first experience on Rover was not ideal but she really made me feel safe leaving my baby. My little girl has extreme separation anxiety but was so happy with Mary. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Our fur-baby Teddy had an excellent time staying with Mary and her family this weekend. We really appreciated the prompt response and the updates/photos!

Your fur baby will be treated just as mine were! They will enjoy the main areas of the home. They will stay in my office area with me during the day while I work. At night, they will sleep in a crate in the living room. Unfortunately, we cannot accept dogs that do not sleep in a crate at night. I have a large fenced in backyard. They will be able to roam the yard without fear of getting out. We monitor the entire time they are outside. I will send you videos and/or photos each day of your pet. I have one child, 14. He absolutely is an animal lover too! He loves to play with the dogs! Any other questions or concerns, I will be happy to answer. Note- We do not feed your fur babies table scrapes. We only feed the food provided by the client- this includes treats as well.

Information Mary K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your fur baby is crate trained for night time, potty trained, any allergies and how they get along with other animals. If your fur baby barks or howls, please let me know. We do not accept females in heat who are bleeding.

A typical day

We have a large backyard! We throw balls, sticks, ropes, etc. We will run around the backyard playing chase. Depending on the weather, we will take a short walks around the neighborhood at night. If your fur baby likes to snuggle and chill, there will be opportunities for that too! We watch tv at night and during the day, your fur baby will get lots of pets and snuggles during the day too.

Pet care is extremely easy for my family. I work from home. I’m home all day, every day. My husband also works from home, 75% of the time. Between the two of us, we have the flexibility to be able to take the fur babies outside to potty or play every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. On the weekend, I will only be away from home up to 3 hours before I return home to check on the fur babies that I am boarding. If I ever need to be away from my house for more than 3 hours while I am boarding, I will communicate this information to my client. I have implemented this to ensure proper pet care.
