Pet care experience

I will smother your dog with love!

** I have done over 150 walks for WAG- but I am new to ROVER. I love animals! Especially dogs. They have always been a part of my life. I grew up with my dad's Redbones, Blueticks, Black and Tans, Walkers, and Beagles as a child- and had my own Cocker Spaniel, Dachshund, English Bulldog, and plain old Mutt as an adult. I appreciate all the unique traits of the individual dog and feel I have a natural kinship. I have cared for many dogs in my home and pet owners homes. I can also provide the extra patience, understanding, and special attention sometimes needed for elderly dogs, puppies, or injured animals. Wait! Don't forget the cat! I LOVE cats also! And will love your cat to death- if he/she will let me! I've owned & cared for many cats over the years. They are so easy. And unique & special! I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family and I will treat them with the love and care you'd expect and that they deserve.

I could not have been happier with Mary Kay! Leaving my pets is always stressful for both they and I, but she provided constant updates and adorable photos. Her communications were excellent, keeping me calm and comfortable about leaving my pets at home. The house was in great shape when I returned, and my pets were happy and relaxed. Highly recommend booking Mary Kay for top-notch care I certainly plan to be a repeat customer.

We loved Mary Kay, and most importantly Buddy loved Mary Kay. She played with him and sent lots of pictures to us. We will definitely use her again!

Mary Kay was great! We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and hermit crabs and everyone was well taken of. We were gone a total of 10 days (International travel) and we were never concerned with their care. We would definitely use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home with respect- just as I would want my home treated. I will follow all instructions and requests regarding your pets and your home and will always remember the safety of both. I have a fenced yard and would implement the same measures stated above if I am at my home.

A typical day

Wherever you would like me to walk them and whatever fun activities your dog enjoys- I'm up for that! Plus alot of TLC! I will follow your instructions or if left up to me- I enjoy exploring nature, I live in a safe neighborhood, and I'm good at fetch and tug of war!

I would like to know if they are aggressive toward people or other dogs/animals and whether they have been known to bite. I would also be helpful to know if they are house trained.
