I can't imagine a day without a dogs smiley face in it! I care for dogs full-time, boarding and occasional dog walking. Someone is always home to care for, supervise and give pups individual love and attention. I've been dog sitting full-time for over 5 years and have years (my whole life) of personal experience caring for my dogs and pets and for my family's dogs and pets. I love getting to know each and every dog that stays, long stays and repeat guests are always welcome! I'm familiar with most breeds and temperaments. I love all breeds but to be a good fit in my home I prefer your pup be good with other dogs big and small, current on all shots, neutered, under 90lbs and be okay sleeping in a comfy bedded crate at night. I can care for puppies and senior dogs, I can administer oral medication if needed and reinforce basic training. I have a huge fully fenced-in and secure backyard with tons of space to run, sniff and explore! Dogs are let out about 3 times a day to romp and play (weather permitting), morning, afternoon, evening. Plus multiple times throughout the day and night to go potty. Throughout the day your dog will enjoy relaxing in my home, I have lots of toys they can play with, dogs are aloud on furniture (if you allow them at home), other dogs and myself to play with and keep them company. I understand the worries and concerns of finding someone watch your furry loved one, that's why I look forward giving you and your pup a happy and stress-free experience and relief while you're without them. I send photos and updates throughout every stay. I hope to become your future and forever sitter and your pups second family! Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting you & your pup! 🐾🐾🐾[ YOUR PUP ]🐾🐾🐾 Your pup(s) must meet these general requirements to be a good fit in my home: - - Size: Under 100lbs. - - Crate trained. - - Neutered adult males. - - Females not in heat. - - Unspayed females accepted. - - Good with other people, dogs & small pets. - - Current on all shots. (Shot Records Required) - - Potty trained. - - Non aggressive. - - Never bit another dog/animal or person. - - No high prey drive (is not uncontrollable in sight of wild/small animals/pets) - - Seniors & puppies accepted - - And of course, be loving, friendly & cute! :-) 🐾🐾🐾[ STAYING AT MARY'S ]🐾🐾🐾 - -Play & Exercise with other friendly social dogs - -Toys & chews so your dog will never get bored - -Fenced-In yard to run, pet friendly Furnisher to relax - -Clean and pet proof environment - -Fresh clean water provided at all times - -Clean bowls and separate feeding from other guest pups - -Clean crate and freshly washed doggy bed for bedtime and your pups personal den - -Pictures sent throughout the stay and updates on your pup per request - -Flexible schedule for your dogs normal routine and for drop-off & pick-up - -I am home almost fulltime to love and pamper your pooch 🐾🐾🐾[ SCHEDULE ]🐾🐾🐾 My schedule is flexible to fit your pups normal daily schedule and your boarding needs. Meet-n-greets, most week day afternoons to dusk usually works for me. Drop-off's and pick-up's anytime from 9am-9pm. Please note that if pickup time is at a later timeframe from drop off a 'cost adjustment' may be applied to the booking for additional daycare. See 'Rates' below. 🌞Morning - 9:00am-12:00pm ⛅Afternoon - 12:00pm-4:00pm 🌙Evening - 4:00pm-6:00pm 🌌Late - 6:00pm-9:00pm 🐾🐾🐾[ RATES ]🐾🐾🐾 ✨First time guests automatically receive my Welcome rate of $35 per night!✨ My Standard rate is $40 per night and will be calculated into the reservation. *Please note the booking covers up to 24 hours per 'night' booked. However if you drop-off in the morning and pick-up in the evening on the following day('s) I may incorporate a $25 daycare fee as a 'cost adjustment' to the booking or $12 for morning-afternoon or afternoon-evening pick-up, drop-off's. Daycare fee is calculated on a case by case basis. Daycare is usually applied for evening and late pick-up's. Daycare fees are not usually applied to week long stays. Because of the price difference with additional daycare, I require specific drop-off and pick-up times prior to confirming the reservation. - - *Holiday rate is $45/night per dog and is applied for the full week for any Federal Holiday and will be in effect Memorial day weekend through Labor day weekend. When boarding is in high demand. - - *I can no longer offering discount rates at this time.

We have left our dog with Mary many times and are very comfortable that she will have a great time. This time we went to Africa for almost 2 weeks and knowing the Mandi would be with Mary was a relief. We got frequent pictures showing Mandi having a blast in the backyard with other dog guests. And as always, we picked up a happy, healthy dog who ate better while at Mary's than she does at home. We would not have been able to enjoy our trip as much without knowing that Mandi was safe and happy while we were gone!

Our golden doodle Mandi always has a great time at Mary's. We feel like we are giving her a vacation, rather than like we are leaving her behind. She is excited when we pull up to Mary's house and can't wait to go in and see what other dogs are around to play with in the backyard.

Information Mary N. would like to know about your pet

What I would like to know about your dog: Before I accept to meet-n-greet or book I'd like to know a little more about fur-baby. Is he/she: - - Spayed or neutered? - - Crate trained? - - Current on all of their shots? - - Does he/she have any special needs? - - How is he/she around other animals and dogs big/small? - - Is he/she playful, high energy or dominant around other dogs? - - I do have caged birds and aquariums, will that be a problem for him/her? During the meet-n-greet I will ask anything that would be helpful to know if they stay: - - What commands does your dog know? - - Is he/she crate trained? - - Dominant, submissive around other dogs? - - Is he/she shy or get separation anxiety? - - Does he/she chew on or eat anything they're not supposed too? (ex. socks, furniture etc.) - - Toy possessive? - - Flight risk? - - Any special needs or care information? What are their normal daily schedule/habits?: - - Feeding times & amount - - Wake-up and bed-times - - Exercise requirements - - Bathroom frequency - - Medication (if needed)

A typical day

I have a HUGE backyard. Tons of space to run, sniff and explore. Grass to romp and play, balls to fetch, paved driveway to run and keep their nails trim and multiple gardens to explore! Dogs are let out about 3 times a day to play (weather permitting), morning, afternoon, evening. Plus multiple times throughout the day and night to go potty.
