I'll treat your pup like family

Pet care experience

I've been fortunate to have 3 dogs in my life over the past 20+ years. Each have had their own unique qualities. I love taking walks with my dog and playing catch in the yard. When your pup comes to stay with me I will treat them like family. I have several bedrooms so if your pup isn't ready to socialize right away they can have their own space to get away from it all. I will spend quality time with them from when they arrive to until they leave.

Mary did a really good job caring for our pets while away. Very much appreciated the updates and pictures while out of town and her taking care of our dog and two cats.
