❤️PUPS 2ND FAMILY HOME, 24HR CARE❤️

🐾 About Our Dog-Sitting Home We’d love to welcome your pup into our cozy, calm home! Here’s what you can expect: 🔷 We care for dogs under 35 lbs 🔷 Pups should be fully house-trained (we’re not set up for pee pads) 🔷 At night, pups sleep in their own beds right next to ours 🌟 What Makes Our Home Special 🔶 One-on-One Care: usually one guest pup at a time. 🔶 Home all day: Your pup always has company 🔶 Large, fenced-in yard for safe play and fresh air 🔶 Couch and blanket cuddles are always welcome 🔶 Lots of updates, photos & videos so you feel connected 🔶 A calm, relaxing environment your dog can settle into 🔶 NO CHILDREN UNDER: 12 yrs. old 🔶 Our pup is 15 lbs, 11 years old, playful, and gentle with all dogs ------------------------------- ❤️ Looking for a loving, caring home for your pup? Our family’s dog-sitting service is here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. We know your pup is part of the family, and we’re committed to making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. We also provide photo and video updates with every visit. During their stay, your dog will enjoy: ● Lots of one-on-one attention and affection throughout the day ● Frequent outdoor breaks in our large, fully fenced yard ● Cozy beds and soft blankets for naps, cuddles, and nighttime comfort ● Pups are welcome on furniture for snuggles or relaxing ● Meals and routines kept on schedule, just like at home ● Daily photo and video updates so you can see how they are ● Individual Attention: We typically welcome one dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of love and focus. On occasion, if your dog enjoys the company of other very friendly pups, we may host more than one; however, we always check with you first to ensure you’re comfortable and have information about the other pup in our home. ❤️We also offer a complimentary meet & greet, allowing us to get to know you and your dog, answer any questions, and ensure it’s the perfect fit before your trip. 🐾 With plenty of love, care, and attention, your pup will be like part of our family. Reach out anytime to chat or book their next stay. We can’t wait to meet them! ------------------------------- SOME ADDITIONAL INFO ABOUT US: 🟢 My husband and I started fostering dogs while living in San Diego, when he was serving in the Navy. That experience gave us not only a deep love for dogs of all kinds, but also the joy of creating a safe and nurturing space for them while their families were away. 🟢 For the past 8+ years, we have continued our passion for caring for dogs by providing dog-sitting services through Rover. We have established roots in the community of Huntsville/Madison and intend to remain here for the foreseeable future. 🟢 If you’d like to know more or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love the chance to get to know you and to be a caring “second family” for your beloved pet. ------------------------------------------------------ ❓❓ FAQs: ❓❓ ● How many dogs do you watch at a time? We typically provide individual care and only take in one dog at a time, unless it's a repeat client we're familiar with and you've approved the arrangement.

The best rover experience we’ve had so far. Mary was very communicative, gave plenty of updates with pictures and videos. We weren’t worried at all that our pup was in good hands!

Our little fur baby is 13 years old and had great time. She was in great spirits in all the videos and photos as well as when we picked her up. Also Mary took lots and lots of photos and videos which is always appreciated. We will use Mary again in the future for sure.

I have so much to say but I will keep short. Auntie Mary is the best sitter , from meet and greet , to communication, to me dropping off Gigi was amazing. She took care of my baby and she had greatime. She was well loved by the kiddos, hubby and Mary and i have pictures to prove. Auntie Mary, thank you so so much for all you do for your furbabies.. see you soon mamii.

Pets

A typical day

❤️ In our home, we provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry family member while you’re away. As a work-from-home mom, I’m here throughout the day to give your pup plenty of care and attention. Your dog will enjoy our large fenced-in backyard for playtime, cozy indoor spaces to roam and relax, and lots of cuddle time on the couch with our family. We also limit the number of dogs we host, so your pup always receives the personalized attention they deserve. We know how much your dog means to you, and we’ll treat them as one of our own. Our goal is to make their stay happy, stress-free, and full of love, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. _________________________________________________________
