Pet care experience

Less than a mile from Cannery Row

I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends.

Mary is a gem! She was incredibly attentive and responsive. I appreciated the regular updates and was very satisfied with the care she provided for my dog. She was also very flexible and accommodated travel delays and schedule changes. I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely book her again! I could not have asked for a better experience!

Mary and her daughter are an amazing care team. Our Dane was happy and well exercised when we we picked him up. He gets lots of people time, and especially enjoyed Mary's cooling mat for dogs. Highly recommend!

Mary is awesome! She really cares about winston and it shows, he was happy and smiling in all the photos she sent me. Winston stayed with Mary almost two weeks she never seemed to get bored or tired of sending me endless updates in that time period. I also appreciated that she gave me daily poop updates letting me know he was keeping regular and eating all his food. I also appreciated that she gave him his allergy medicine and cleaned his ears on schedule so I didnt come home to an ear infection. She provided a loving, fun and healthy environment for Winston, Mary is great!

Mary and her daughter were absolutely wonderful with our dog Hobbes. Careful and loving and kept in great touch. We think he had more fun than at home!

Mary and her daughter did a wonderful job with my Theo! He was so happy when I picked him up. He’s already scheduled to stay with her again this week and I know he’ll be so excited to see them again!

Safety, trust & environment

I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.

A typical day

I enjoy taking walks with all pets. I like to start with a walk if they are up for it because I feel it’s a good way to get to know each other and trust each other. I have toys, but if your pet likes their own toys we can play with those as well. I am here for them and will do whatever I can to keep them comfortable and safe. I do not take pets off leash unless in a secure gated area, and never with other pets present.

It’s important for me to know if you have certain commands for your pet. Will they show me they have to go out? If they do not show me, I will take them out 0-2 hours to ensure they go potty as much as needed. Feeding times are necessary to know and whether or not they have a schedule for feeding or just eat freely. I will not feed your pet anything without your permission. I will stick to all of your rules and guidelines. Any special needs for your pet will be helpful. Does your pet get along with people, other pets, and any other special requirements while in my care. Are they allowed to be on furniture?
