Stay At Home Mom

I’m a stay-at-home mom turned empty nester, which means your pet will receive my full time, attention, and care just like a member of the family. I’ve been a lifelong dog lover (literally my parents say I was drawn to dogs before I could walk!) and have eight years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Although I currently don’t have dogs of my own, that only means more space, love, and flexibility for your pet while they’re with me. I offer both Sitting and Boarding services in a calm, pet-friendly environment with no small children to cause stress or distraction. In addition to House Sitting services. I recently moved to a quiet, walkable neighborhood near Carrollton which means plenty of outdoor playtime. Whether your dog loves a slow stroll or has energy to burn, I tailor their care to their specific needs. I understand how important consistency, medication, and gentle handling can be. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training if needed. Your dog will be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention while you’re away!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 17, 2025

Boarding with Mary was excellent. She responds to your message really fast, I made a mistake when setting the date for the boarding and Mary was willing to work with me to extend the stay.

Mary has a very loving nature that is both warm and firm. As an owner of a large indoor dog owner I understand dogs respond positive to a strong leaders. And with small pets I’ve observed how gentle and comforting she can be when both grooming and common interaction.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep my home clean, cozy, and free from hazards, with designated areas for rest, play, and meals. I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space and your dog with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

A typical day

Every dog’s different, so I go with the flow and adjust activities based on what your pup loves (or doesn’t). Got a more laid back pup who’s all about slow strolls and cuddle time? No problem. Watching a high energy ball chaser who never quits? I’m all in and don’t worry you’ll get lots of photo and video updates so you can see all the fun while you’re away!

While I love dogs of all kinds, I do have certain breed and temperament preferences to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for both your pup and the ones I may be caring for at the same time. If you’re unsure whether your dog would be a good fit, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to chat and see if it’s a match! If your dog has any special needs, please include as much detail as possible in your booking request. That includes things like dietary restrictions, medical needs, daily routines, or any behavioral quirks. The more I know upfront, the better I can provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps your dog happy and healthy while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
