Pet care experience
Love & Care for Your Pet Found Here
Pets have been a part of my life since I was young kid. Life is just not the same without a furry friend, or four. Currently, I have 3 adopted dogs and 5 adopted cats. Through my past volunteer work with Austin Pets Alive!, I have received some dog behavior training and learned how to administer many of the common medications pets are prescribed. You can breath a sigh of relief knowing your fur babies are in capable hands while under my care. Since I want you to feel comfortable with the care your "kids" get, I can tailor my services to your specific needs. Just let me know what you need and we can work something out. Please note that I do work a regular Tuesday thru Friday, 40 hour work week job, so my availability to care for your pet(s) is limited during the days I work. Regardless of the type of stay you are requesting, I do require a meet and greet for all new clients. (I will make exceptions for pets other than dogs.)

Safety, trust & environment
My pets are my kids and I will treat your pets the same way, with lots of love and affection. For the pets that are not as accepting of affection, I will tailor my interactions to their comfort level.
Ratings and reviews
Mary did an excellent job caring for our cats! Her communication throughout the visits was outstanding, which was especially important since we were traveling internationally. Being across the globe and trusting someone with our babies is no small thing, but Mary far exceeded our expectations. Our cats really warmed up to her over the course of her visits, which says everything about how caring and attentive she was with them. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!
Mary was great! My Trixie is a rescue and very shy. She warmed right up to Mary! I will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Mary! Kathy
Mary is the best! She’s taken care of 4 of our cats now and does such a great job across various needs - both behavioral and medical. She’s always super accommodating to both my lengthy requests and whatever the cats need that day. Can’t recommend her enough!
Mary is absolutely wonderful. Dependable and reliable. Please book with her, your pets will be in good hands!
Mary’s the best! She takes great care of our cats, gives detailed updates, and is always accommodating to whatever they need!
Thank you for caring for Sadie

Schedule
I do work a regular 40 hour a week job, Tuesday thru Friday, so my availability during the week is limited. My husband has a non-standard schedule that varies from week to week, so sometimes he helps me out.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDogs over 1 year oldMary can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Please let me know about any behaviors I need to know that will help me properly care for your pup. Does s/he resource guard? Does s/he like to chase squirrels? Does s/he get skittish around men in hats, large dogs, etc? Knowing these things up front will not deter me, but help me in keeping your fur baby safe while under my care. Being breed specific is akin to being racist and I do not believe in it. The only dog I do not like to work with is one that is overly aggressive. (Mostly because I do not have enough training to keep everyone safe.) I am also not species specific. (Well, I prefer not to deal with spiders.) Snakes, lizards, birds, small woodland creatures, etc. on the other hand, are right up my alley!
