Pet care experience

"It's all about the Dog"

Now accepting new clients for boarding only. It’s important to me that dogs in my care are taken care of emotionally, physically and mentally. Dogs who are in my care will be treated like a member of my family. We take two walks per day weather permitting, light grooming, daily massages and emotional support while they are away from their family. I have over 35 year's of dog care experience. I have studied animal massage and behavior. I am knowledgeable of pet medications. I can administer oral medications but not injections. I specialize in Golden Retrievers. But I love all breeds! I’m currently able to accept a few new clients.

We are so grateful to Mary for the way she takes care of our boy! He has a wonderful time and comes home to us tired and happy. Thank you Mary!

Mary was absolutely wonderful! She was really good about updating us and making sure that our dog was comfortable and well taken care of while we were away. Our pup got lots of walks and snuggles! I could not recommend her more and will definitely be using her in the future!

Mary is great! The updates and videos and pictures she sent during my dog's stay with her put my mind at ease, and my dog had a great time and stayed active with Mary. 5/5, highly recommended!

Pets

A typical day

We play puzzle games, play in the water in my large backyard, and take a new route each time we go for a walk. New smells are very important to stimulate a dog.

It is very important to let me know of any special needs your dog requires so I can make their time with Benjamin and I very comfortable.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
