Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Mary, as a child I trained and showed my collie in 4-H and AKC shows, and I’ve never been without a dog since. I’ve cared for older dogs with physical limitations and they are the ones that really capture my heart. Feel free to ask me anything. My two Cardigan corgis and very active, love to chase and play, but they are gentle with the older dogs. However, unfortunately, they do not play well with very small dogs like chihuahuas and Jack Russell terriers, so younger dogs over 30 pounds are better suited here. Except elderly small dogs, who are fine. Also, I put mats out for dogs that don’t do well on slippery floors, and there are no stairs except the ones to get in the front door; the back door opens right into the yard!
Reviews
Mary is a very positive person with both people and dogs. She was very prompt in responding when I checked in while away. She was very good to my little Havanese. Would definitely recommend her.
Mary was wonderful and clearly loves dogs! Riley came home happy and energized after a week with Mary and her corgis 🐾. There’s a fenced-in yard in back that they have free access to. Mary was great at communicating, and even washed his dog blanket before I picked him up. 😊
Sapele was happy and well-cared for with Mary and her two pups. It's clear from the photos and videos that my girl loved the big yard, and romping around with the resident dogs. When picking up and dropping off Sapele, I saw Mary setting clear boundaries and teaching good behaviors with all of the dogs, and carefully reading their interactions and body language. Sapele was in capable hands and I am very grateful!!
Mary is wonderful for my dog. She is very responsive and flexible for scheduling. Definitely will visit back next time!

I’m home all day and able to let the dogs in and out all the time. I will follow your schedule for feeding, crating and exercise. My dogs are my constant companions and having guest dogs keeps life interesting. If your dog is older or has special needs, let’s talk. Also I can offer long term care if you need that.
