Loving care when you're not there

Pet care experience

Hi, just a little background of myself; I was a veterinary assistant for 6 years, and recently graduated from Animal Behavior College and am a certified basic obedience dog trainer. I have experience in pet sitting/walking for friends and neighbors, and would like to eventually make this my full time job. Unfortunately, I do work a full-time job now, just so you're aware; but work very close to home and can come home for my hour lunch. I have had animals my whole life, and right now I have one dog named Molly. I have a house with a large fenced in yard and there is a nice park nearby. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your pets, and I would make them feel like one of my own. I know your pet is family and you would definitely be able to put your trust in me.

It's been a while since we left our dogs in the care of someone other than a family member. But Mary treated them as such. The house was left clean and tidy; the dogs were happy and well cared for. She sent a couple of photos of them enjoying the sunshine or resting on the couch. Mary was an excellent choice for dog care.

Mary is outstanding, understanding, and caring person. Over the week Mary went above and beyond to accommodate my needs from a family emergency. It was a last minute booking and she was very compassionate to what was going on. Unfortunately, my car broke down and I wasn’t able to drop my dog off. However I’m a 100% positive he would have been it the best care with her. I’m hoping in the future if I need a dog sitter. Mary will be my go to person, she’s that amazing. Thank you Mary!

Mary was great! Very accommodating with schedule. Kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was in good shape and happy when we picked him up!

Mary treated my 2 dogs like they were her own. I was very pleased with the professionalism and respect Mary had throughout. I would recommend Mary to anyone who doesn't want to worry if their pet is being treated right.

I am currently working full-time, but hoping to turn this into my full time business. So most of my bookings will probably be on the weekends for now. But it will fit in because it's part of my life and what I want to do.
