I'm AKC registered = peace of mind!
Pet care experience
I am not your average sitter, I am a registered AKC Judge with over 20 years of experience as a trainer, handler, groomer, sitter, and walker. If you are looking for someone who has a full understanding of dog behavior or just need someone who understands how to properly love and care for your fur friend, search no FURther cause I am your girl! I specialize in herding breeds but welcome pups of all shapes and sizes. I am use to very high energy and sensitive dogs, I own two wonderful but energetic Border Collies myself. I am also proficient in administering medical attention. My loved pup Java has Addison disease which requires regular attention including pills daily and a subcutaneous shot every month. More about my experience: I have been around dogs since I was born and was naturally adept when it came to dog behavior and training. I spent many years traveling across the country handling my own dogs and client dogs for AKC competitions and won many prestigious awards. My mother owns an indoor/outdoor kennel where I learned invaluable skills when caring for other peoples pets. I can administer oral and injected medications and am also skilled in first aid care (a kit is always inside with me!). I have worked with some of the more difficult and shy dogs and have always been successful at creating strong bonds. I am also good with other types of pets, I was raised with livestock and every other critter you can think of. If you want to know more, please feel free to ask me!
Reviews
Outstanding! Mary exceeded our expectations with her work ethic, responsibility and the great care she took of our old dog and two cats. Mary went the extra mile without our asking, cleaning her own bedding, leaving the house spotless, and staying in communication with great info and photos. What a find! She was worth more than we paid, for sure. Best. House/Dogsitter. Ever.
Mary is AMAZING. She has a way with dogs that you can't find with anyone else. And so knowledgeable, I've learned more from her than I could from any dog book. I can ask her about anything. Probably her best quality when it comes to being a dog caregiver is that she can connect with just about any dog and understand what exactly it is they need in just a short amount of time. Seriously love the way she takes care of my dog and other dogs. They're just so happy when they're with her! Would HIGHLY recommend!!!!
Mary grew up with dogs and loves them as much today as she did as a child. She has helped me run my dog training business since she could walk. She was the Australian Shepherd Assoc. #1 Jr. handler in the nation for 10 years in a row. She has won multiple awards in Herding, Obedience, Rally and Confirmation. I would trust her 110% with any of my dogs.
