Information Mary Y. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all their routines, habits, likes and dislikes. I enjoy hosting well socialized pups and I also have a soft spot in my heart for the older and senior pups. I prefer not to do drop ins with aggressive dogs as I am not a trainer and feel someone better qualified in these types of dogs would be a better fit for you and your needs.

A typical day

I love getting to know each pup or kitties personality. I enjoy playing with the pups whether iits throwing a ball or tug of war and of course my lap is always available for those cuddly pups. I try to maintain the same schedule the pups have at home. I enjoy taking several pictures throughout the day and will send you updates to keep you informed on how your pup is enjoying their stay.

Pet care experience

I have been around animals my whole life. My Grandfather was a Veterinarian and I was fortunate enough to be educated by him on all types of animals. I have been a 5 Star Rover sitter since 2016. My home is located in a quiet Vestal neighborhood. I have three small pups from 6 to 15 years old. My little Camp Counselors love having new friends come to play. I do require a Meet & Greet for any first time client. I also offer Puppy ( Under 1 years old ) care for pups who have completed their puppy shots. To safe guard each pups health I ask new clients to supply a copy of your pups updated shots record. I look forward in meeting you and your pup and hope my home can be your pups safe, fun and comfortable home away from home.

Reina had a wonderful time with Mary! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs in her care. She took the time to introduce Reina to the other pups in a calm, thoughtful way, which made us feel so comfortable. On this rainy day, the dogs enjoyed a relaxing, low-key environment with plenty of cozy couch snuggles. It was exactly the kind of calm atmosphere that suits Reina's personality. As pet parents, it's not easy trusting someone else with your fur baby, but Mary gave us complete peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to have found someone who is so kind, compassionate, attentive, and trustworthy. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup!

Very happy with Mary's care of my dog. She is very responsive to messages. Loved she sent photos of my dogs regularly. Would recommend her.

This was the first time I had ever boarded my dog with anyone. I was so nervous about leaving her, but Mary cared for her and loved her as if she were her own. I cannot thank or praise Mary enough for the outstanding care she gave my dog. Dolly loved her "vacation" and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend Mary!

Mary is amazing! She is very accommodating and kind to my elderly beagle, who felt right at home at Mary's. Excellent communication and flexibility. My pooch will be spending time with Mary during future trips I need to make!

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.
