Dog lovers here to help!
Pet care experience
A loving family with a long dog ownership and dog rescue history have opened their home to care for your pet. We own our home in a peaceful neighborhood, many of whom own and love dogs as well. Our immediate neighbors both own and love dogs too! We are non-smokers. We walk the dogs 2-3 times a day on a leash. We have great references upon request and look forward to caring for your precious pet. We will care for them as if they were our very own! About this sitter: My family loves animals and has been involved with rescues many times. We are non-smokers. We've cared for dogs with specials needs and our neighbors are animal lovers as well. We live in a nice quiet family neighborhood and would love to care for your precious pet while you are away. Here are a couple videos of recent dog sitting adventures with Miss Mary! https://www.rover.com/scrapsbook/georgias-stay-in-marys-home-jun-2013/ https://www.rover.com/scrapsbook/watsons-stay-in-marys-home-jul-2013/ https://www.rover.com/scrapsbook/mias-stay-in-marys-home-jul-2013/ https://www.rover.com/scrapsbook/cocos-stay-in-marys-home-jul-2013/ Why I love dog sitting We have been involved in dog rescue for over 10 years. We've provided pet sitting services for over 20. We've owned our own pets for our entire lives. We love all of God's creatures, great and small. Meet my pets We currently have no pets. We used to have a house full of them (2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a lop eared bunny, and 2 mice). However, they belonged to the children and when they moved out, their pets went with them. My husband was active in MinPin rescue and loves dogs immensely. We both come from a huge family of pet lovers. We are responsible and reliable. We look forward to earning your trust. Give us a try, you'll be back! :-) My experience administering medication I am comfortable with, and have experience administering medication (both pills and shots).
Reviews
Things were perfect as always with no worries. Thanks so much! Randy & Diane
Mary was great and was very good w my girls.
Mary & Marty were great with our senior dog Blue. Mary had a very thorough intake questionnaire and provided lots of pictures of Blue. I felt she was in great hands and I would definitely use them again!
We always feel comfortable having Mary and Marty stay with Casey. Never a worry. They’re the best!

Safety, trust & environment
I ask that clients fill out a survey so we can get to know their dogs needs and then be better equipped to do so adequately. We stay in communication with their families and send photos for their peace of mind. While here, your fur baby will be part of our family and will be treated as such. ❤️ 🐕 ❤️

Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting for a dog I would need copies of their updated shot record, and they would need their current rabies tag. I would also like to know if they've been spayed/neutered, if they get along with other pets, and what their eating & walking schedule is like. If they don’t get along with other animals, I can keep them separate from other visiting pets. I just like to know before hand so I can prepare accordingly.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I live close to a few parks, all within a few blocks from me. We walk around the neighborhood or to the parks daily, sometimes a few times a day depending on the weather. If it's rainy or bad weather we play in the backyard for briefer periods of time. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have a 2 bedroom home and dogs have slept pretty much wherever they please unless their family says otherwise. If they would like to play, we will be eager to okay with them, but I’d they want to rest or be left alone we will respect their wishes. It’s their vacation here while their family is away on theirs. Time I'll spend with your dog We spend all our time with the dogs since we mostly work from home. If toys are brought for them, they will get played with! We loved to play tug-o-war with the bigger dogs and fetch with a ball or a frisbee. Check out my photos and you will see some of what goes on here at Miss Mary's.

My husband and I are retired empty nesters so we spend a lot of time at home. We do volunteer at times and “work” side gigs maybe 10 hrs a week.
