I'm pretty flexiable. If you have certain instructions then I will be sure to follow those guidelines. Weekdays: I work Mon - Fri 8- 5. I mostly work remote from home; however, occasionally I will go into the office, but I work 15 mins away so can come home mid-day for lunch / potty breaks. My dog sitting routine: PM walk usually 20 mins - can be longer if needed. Weekends: I will be with the dog most of the day. If your dog is friendly with other dogs, then I can go spend some time at the city dog park with owner’s permission.

Safety, trust & environment

Must be potty trained, good with kids, and we would prefer dogs that aren’t prone to barking often - since my husband and I both work from home (lots of virtual meetings!). We usually plan accordingly so if we know we’re dog sitting, we try to stay home as much as possible. However, if we do have to step out of the house for a bit we would prefer to have the dog in crate, so would need to be crate trained. I like to send updates and pictures to the owner. I understand that your pet(s) are an extension of your family and we will treat them as if they were ours.

Information Mary P. would like to know about your pet

A few questions for dog owner: Does dog get along with kids? Potty trained? Crate trained? Prone to barking? House / potty trained? Thank you!

A typical day

I do have a daughter that’s 12 and loves hanging out with all the dogs, which usually keeps everyone busy! Win, win. : ) I have also young nieces and nephews that occasionally visit so dogs need to be comfortable around younger kids.

Mary and her husband took perfect care of our babies! They stayed in close touch and let us know of any concerns we should be aware of. Our babies loved their yard and felt right at home with them. We will definitely bring our babies back.

Our dogs were well taken care of with Mary! She was responsive and friendly and it means to much to be able to trust who we leave our pups with!
