My poodle Jackson absolutely loves Mary, her home and yard and playing with doggie friends there!!!! He has stayed several times for over 4 days and has enjoyed it very much. I get pics and video of his adventures. When I drop him off, he does not even look back! Mary is wonderful.

Mary takes such good care of our pup. He comes back having made lots of other good puppy friends and is thoroughly exhausted from all of his fun times at her place. We really appreciate her attention to detail and care of him.

Mary was the perfect option for Boo while I was attending a retreat on Whidbey Island. We spoke before the visit and Mary did a thorough inquiry on his behaviors, likes and dislikes. Upon arrival, Boo was excited to meet the other pups and I received a slew of photos within the first hour that helped put me at ease. I let Mary know that I wasn’t sure how he would handle the night (he’s had some trauma from previous sits being stuck in a crate) and she assured me he’d have free rein. I was so relieved to see him resting among all the other dogs and truly settling in. Boo was in great spirits when I picked him up several days later and slept for the next two days. I would definitely recommend Mary and hope to use her services again in the future.

It was our first time away for multiple days and we couldn't be happier and more assured that Mason stayed with Mary. She kept us updated every day on what the pack got up to and had a variety of activities and adventures for them. It's really great to see Mason continue to build confidence and get such a good social outlet with Mary and the dogs in her care. Much credit to Mary for making it a positive experience at every turn!!

Schedule

Dog care is my full time job. If your pup is high energy I will provide a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. If they’re older and just like a quiet place to lounge I can provide that too😊

Safety, trust & environment

The safety of the pack is my top priority. I have designed my home and yard to be as dog-friendly as possible and have a system that works. When your dog is dropped off they will be introduced to the pack one dog at a time for a low stress experience. I have gates and a secure fence around my yard. All playtime is supervised. I have many cameras monitoring at all times. I require a daycare/ trial day for any dog who is boarding longer than a weekend and does not have sitter feedback. I cannot host dogs who have a history of aggression towards people or other dogs. I have a lot of very cozy spots for your pup/s to relax and snooze. They’re always welcome to sleep where they’re most comfortable. *BOARDING INFORMATION - WHAT TO BRING* • Food that is clearly marked with your dog's name and amount per feeding (or pre-portioned for breakfast and dinner in ziplock baggies). • Medications with clearly written instructions per prescription (even better if you use a pill storage container for AM/PM medications & supplements). All medications and supplements MUST have the name of the pet on the container or storage box, and prescription amount. • Leash and collar.

Pets

A typical day

I’m very active and love being outdoors! I love to take the dogs for hikes, play in the yard, or go to a sniff spot! I believe a tired dog is a happy dog! I also have many puzzles and toys for mental stimulation.

Let me know about your dog/s and their needs so I can accommodate them. I do not accept dogs that have a history of being aggressive towards humans or other dogs.
