Oral medication administration

Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I like to be detailed oriented, especially when I'm responsible for someone else's property.i know feedings and medications need to be precise and that safety is number one. Dogs are always leashed when not in a fenced yard and I'm always on the lookout for cars when walking!

Home

Lives in a house
Has 1 dog

Information Mary L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any and all special needs ahead of time! I'm pretty easy to teach but I'd like to be prepared ahead of time :)

A typical day

When I wake up I make sure the pets have gone to the bathroom and ate. Sometimes that's all they need and go back to bed! But we can do a morning walk, cuddles, maybe go over training. Enrichment toys are a plus to keep them tired and happy!

Pet care experience

I have owned a dog and at least one cat my entire life. I've always felt I have a duty to give them as best of a life as possible. They chose us in a way, but we chose them as well. I have experience working with all different types of pet food, especially for the picky ones. I've given the typical pill pocket medications but have also given insulin in the past. As long as I'm shown what to do, I shouldn't have any problems :) Please let me know if you have any questions, I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule!

Mary is a fantastic dog AND home sitter! You can really tell she has a passion and love for dogs, and my Rocky fell in love with her right away. I know I can trust her and that she'll do the best job possible of watching my dog. She has no problem staying the night if needed. I highly recommend Mary!
