Highlights
Pet care experience
We love dogs!!
My name is Mary and I have worked with all sorts of animals, especially dogs, for 30 years. We own our home and have a good sized yard for our dogs and guest dogs. I do work full time as a zookeeper, have odd days off. This allows someone to be home often with our dogs and guests. The whole family helps and we really enjoy spending time with the dogs. I have experience with special diets and medicating, whether orally or injections if necessary. Please contact me with any questions or if you would like to meet us!

My Doodle loves staying at Mary’s!
Mary has been such a pleasure—not only to my pet, but to me as well! Communication is so important to me, and she does an amazing job of keeping me updated throughout his entire stay. She always sends pictures, which I absolutely love and appreciate. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. Mary has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I highly recommend her! 💕🐾
Mary sent lots of pictures and the dogs were healthy and happy after their stay. We are going to have our dogs stay there again.
Mary is a wonderful person who takes such good care of our dog. We rely on her years of experience taking care of animals of all sizes. She has a backyard dog Disneyland.
Communicative throughout. My dog enjoyed herself and I was very satisfied with the care given!
Fantastic! My dog had a wonderful time, and it was so great to get photos every day or two.

Why I love dog sitting I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs. I also served in the U.S. Army where I took care of the Military Working Dogs. I have also worked at animal shelters and boarding kennels.

A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We walk in our neighborhood most of the time. If a guest dog is very good on leash, and ok with owner, we may go to a large park to walk, or on the bosque trail. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Most guest dogs sleep in our main level where our older Labrador sleeps. She has a crate with big bed, we keep it open for her. We have couches and different sizes of dog beds. The owners are welcome to bring beds, etc. Time I'll spend with your dog I do work full time, but my family also assists with guest dogs. I do get up early to have time with my dogs and guest dogs. My evenings are spent with all the dogs. If course I have days off, so I am able to spend more time on those days.

- I like all breeds, big and small. I would like to know if a dog is or ever had been aggressive towards people or other dogs. Also if they are escape artists, fence jumpers, etc.
