Honest and Reliable Animal Lover

I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have had six dogs and trained all of them to walk and do certain tricks, and did the 4-H dog program as a pre-teen, as well as four cats. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work full-time 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 a 7 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 2 year old mutt I adopted 1 year 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 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. 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!

Another great experience with Mary! Laika was well cared for and super happy. Excellent communication and seamless drop off and pick up. Leaving Laika with Mary makes my trips that much better with the peace of mind with such a great caretaker. Will book again and again.

Mary was outstanding on communication and very responsive to changes in our plans. We were very nervous leaving our dog for over a week but our dog was very comfortable and had tons of fun at her house. He was constantly taken on walks and allowed to play outside with her dogs. I could not recommend Mary enough and will definitely look to board with her again.

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!
