Pet care experience
Need some special love and attention for your pooch while you're away? We'd love to help! Our five children, ages 21-6, can offer plenty of love and affection for your canine friend. My husband and I have had over 23 years of experience working with dogs. Our oldest boys, now in college, each care for a dog of their own (a Bichon and a Lhasa Apso). Because we homeschool our younger kiddos, we are home a lot during the day. We welcome your dog to join us for a snuggle on our couch or recliners during our homeschooling time, romps around the neighborhood for exercise and potty breaks, and a nap in a gently heated dog bed for rest.
Reviews
Mary always does a wonderful job with Nora! Thank you so much!
Mary was wonderful with my little guy (a14 yr old senior with special needs). She took such great care of him. Couldn’t be more pleased.
This was our first time leaving our dog, Ferris, with Mary and her family. He was so well cared for with regular walks and lots of family love! Mary sent photos and text accounts everyday to let us know how he adjusted and settled in. We enjoyed our week away knowing he was in good hands!
Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again

Safety, trust & environment
We are comfortable walking your dog as often as he or she needs. We love to play with your dog and have an assortment of dog toys in our home. If we go outside to play, your dog comes along with us! We enjoy walks around our neighborhood (1/2 mile loop) as well as the trails at Kemper Park (the Monticello Walkway).
Home
Information Mary R. would like to know about your pet
Because we have one cat, we need to make sure that the dogs we pet sit will not be aggressive towards cats. Also, we can only care for dogs who are too short to reach food off the countertops or who are trained to not jump up and eat food off the countertops.
A typical day
Because we are home a lot during the day, your dog will have plenty of human companionship and love. Your canine friend can join our two dogs, a Bichon and a Lhasa Apso, for walks around the neighborhood and playing fetch with a frisbee in the backyard.

Mary can host
Availability
Your pooch will be able to accompany us in our everyday adventures, from morning routines to online classes to homeschool work and riding in the car with us as we drive to and from 3 different homeschool co-ops each week. Your pooch will enjoy oodles of love and attention from both our kiddos as well as myself! He or she can sit in one child’s lap while attending an online Latin or Greek Mythology class, and then move over to another lap to learn about vowel teams, digraphs, and blends. Your pooch will also have a daily snuggle together on a couch to hear our youngest read a story out loud.
