Care from my Heart
I’ve had dogs in my life since 5 years old. It’s only been in the last few years that I haven't had a constant companion. I've had a broken heart since then having to have sent my beautiful, loving girl, Ruby, to be with her daddy in heaven. I have “puppy love” to generously give, just not yet ready to commit for myself. Allow me to care for your babies as I would my own.

Ivy had a wonderful stay with Mary Lou, and we’re so grateful to know she was safe, cared for, and loved while we were traveling!

As always our pet loved her stay with Mary Lou. She is a wonderful and welcoming dog sitter. We can’t recommend her enough.

Highly recommended! 💖
Panda always comes back home happy and healthy. Mary is great!

This was just a short stay for our dog to get to know Mary Lou before a longer trip but it went well. Despite being a bit of a nervous dog she did fine and seemed to enjoy herself in Mary Lou’s welcoming home. We are definitely happy.

Mary Lou was absolutely amazing with Mikey. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and meets them exactly where they are. She was patient, gentle, and so sweet with him, and her updates made me feel completely at ease. Mikey was clearly cared for with love. I will be definitely booking with her again.

Schedule
Being retired as of January 2022, I will have flexible availability. We can discuss your needs regarding work schedules and vacation plans, as well as one-offs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I enjoy taking pets on outings at dog-friendly establishments, such as patio restaurants, if they are friendly in those environments and riding in cars. At home, I have a fenced yard so safety is not an issue.
A typical day
I have a good size, fenced back yard your dog can have free roam/romp of! If walks are requested, please know that many of my neighbors also walk their dogs in the neighborhood at all hours of the day, so it will be expected to come across them during our walks. Additionally, there are many outdoor cats in my neighborhood that commonly lay in driveways, and they, too, will be a common site during our walks. Please take this into consideration before requesting walks.
