Availability

Having 2 dogs of my own and fostering, I am accustomed to always making time for the dogs. If I am unable to be home for an extended period of time, my family drops in to care for the dogs. They are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. I do work during the day, but the dogs are always cared for and checked in on.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Mary and I am a middle school teacher. I am looking to keep myself busy after school, on the weekends, and during the summer. During the school year I work 7:50-3:30. I have been a dog owner for my entire life. I have trained and cared for multiple dogs, varying in breed and age. On top of owning dogs, I have house/dog sat many times.I love walking and enjoy having the company of dogs with me. As a teacher, I am very detail oriented and pay great attention to instructions and care. As well as caring for your pets I can perform light household chores. I currently own a high energy dog that has some medical issues. I am comfortable administering medication and caring for animals post surgery.

Last minute request fulfilled. Great communication. My dog had a great time and came home happy and sleepy.

Mary is so great! Our dog loves playing around with her pups and she always sends pictures and updates.

We were disappointed with our experience. When we picked up our dog, he had four cuts on his face, seemed very sad, and wasn't eating well. This was extremely concerning for us. When we asked about it, the sitter was unable to explain what happened and only suggested that he "maybe ran through bushes in the yard" or that her dog "might have been swatting at his face and needed her nails trimmed," but could not confirm. Communication during the stay was less than we expected, as we asked for regular texts and photos during his stay, and received very little. We had to reach out to her first to get any information and wait for a response. The lack of updates, combined with his condition when we picked him up, left us very unsettled. We had to take our dog to the vet to treat his injuries and purchase medication to prevent infection. This was not the level of care we expected. Our pup is a part of our family, and we appreciate the effort, this experience unfortunately did not meet the level of care we had hoped for.

I was very happy with Mary and would definitely book her in the future. Am so glad I found a kind hearted, dog loving sitter like her. My pup was well cared for. She follows directions well and accommodated me last minute.
