I have a fenced in yard, two dogs to keep your pups company, and am able to crate your dog(s) if needed (I do prefer owners provide their crates if they wish their dog to be crated at night/etc.). I am around always and keep a watchful eye to ensure the safety of all pups. Dogs are supervised during feed time and when outside in the yard.

Information Mary M. would like to know about your pet

If it has any aggressiveness issues, how it interacts with other dogs, if it has any experience with cats, and if it is up-to-date with its shots. Also, any medical concerns/issues and of course, their favorite toy! I have no breed/age/size preferences, I enjoy all of them!

A typical day

I love spending time with the animals, whether it be just hanging out in the same room, petting, grooming, going on walks, giving treats, or playing! Dogs will get a daily walk if the owner wishes, and lots of time outside to run and play in the large back yard.

Pet care experience

I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work mostly from home, so am quite flexible with scheduling and your pups won’t be wanting for anything while visiting! I currently have two dogs of my own. The oldest is an 8 year old rescue from Thailand who is a sweetheart and would spend every second of every day getting belly rubs and sun bathing. The younger one is a 3 year old mutt I adopted 2 years ago from a rescue in VA, who is timid around other dogs at first and then loves to play with any and all ages/sizes. I do also own to cats, one is older and keeps to herself, but the other one is younger and sociable with the dogs. I am very well-practiced in taking care of dogs with medical or physical difficulties (e.g., mobility issues, skin issues, giving medications, wound dressing).

Mary was amazing and provided "just enough" updates to keep me up to date without it feeling overwhelming. Definitely recommended!

Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!
