Reviews
Really great care and friend for our dog! I had peace of mind he was well cared for and had friends to play with too!
Wally loves going to Mary's and playing with her dogs. She is great about updates and pictures. Wally is very high energy but Mary seems to love and welcome him. We appreciate the care he gets there.
Mary is awesome! I have no worries about my dog when I bring him over there. Mary stays in communication with you the whole time. Sends you pictures and videos of your pet all the time, which I love. My dog loves being at her house and playing with all her other pets! I highly recommend using Mary as a rover! You won’t be disappointed!!
Our dog always has an amazing stay at Mary's home. Mary and her husband treat dogs like members of the family, providing plenty of play-time, chill time, and snuggle time. Mary takes individual personalities into account, and gives each dog in her care individual attention, and caters to their unique needs. Your dog will be safe, comfortable, and entertained, and may not want to come home! :)

Safety, trust & environment
We have a large fenced yard with secured gates on it, and a secured door. During the day the dogs hang out in the family room, or in my office. If they are trained, they can have run of the house during the day. I do regular trips out with them and take breaks for play time and socializing time. The dogs are allowed on the couch, the beds etc, if you are ok with that.
Home
Information Mary L. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has special needs we will do our utmost to meet their needs for you. We do have a 3 level house though to consider for seniors. They are free to stay in the family room area on the lower level, and that has the patio door to go in and out to the fenced backyard, dog beds, the couch and chairs, baskets of toys etc. So they could stay down there, but want you to know we allow the dogs in our bedroom at nite, and in my office during the day, and those are both on the upper floor.
A typical day
I do take dogs from different families at the same time on a case by case basis. If I know the dogs and confident they will all get along. I also always double check with both owners to make sure they are ok with it, before agreeing to board another dog with theirs. I don't do over 3 additional dogs, and frankly, as a norm, 2 is my maximum. I tend to allow the 3 , above facts still in play, over the holidays (summer and winter), when bookings are scarce. I have a dog agility area in the backyard, as we have a very active aussie and a border collie pup.. Also a doggie pool in the summer, loads of toys, a tennis ball cannon, a covered and non-covered hammock dog bed and a park right by the house to walk to and around as time allows.
