About MaryAnn & Franklin S.

Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to stay connected with your pet while you’re away. That’s why I provide daily updates with plenty of photos, so you can see how your furry friend is doing and feel peace of mind every day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for your furry family member, I always have plenty of bowls for food and water, 💩 bags and puppy pads, an extra leash or harness if needed, owner approved treats, tennis balls and toys, blankets and plenty of love to share. During each drop in visit, I’ll carefully follow your specific care instructions while also taking the time to give your pet the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve. My home is thoughtfully set up with safety measures to support a calm, secure environment for pets and my family. I allow pets to free roam on our couch and in every room of my family’s home except for our personal bedrooms. To ensure the best care and everyone's safety, I do utilize crates and baby gates/play yards as needed when first introducing pets as well as for sleeping overnight. This to ensure both your dogs’, my pets’ and family’s safety. I care for a small, consistent group of friendly regulars in a calm, social home. To preserve their comfort and safety as well as my own pets and family’s, I only accept crate trained dogs who do well with structure and am unable to accommodate high anxiety/reactive/aggressive pets or pets that require constant care. Please provide your pet’s food, and a litter box and litter for cats. If you prefer, I can provide a litter box for an additional $10 per stay. I can provide a crate (XL) for dog owners if they are not able to. If your pet has a favorite comfort item like a bed or toy, feel free to bring it along. Familiar scents and items can help them feel right at home. 🙂

Information MaryAnn & Franklin S. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, please share your pet’s personality, any special care or medical needs, their training level, and what supplies you will be bringing versus what you need me to provide during their stay. Clear communication helps ensure a smooth, safe, and comfortable experience for your furry friend.
A typical day
My home offers ample space, including a large, securely fenced backyard where pets can safely play and explore. A typical day includes walks around the neighborhood or trips to the nearby park, giving your pet plenty of exercise and fresh air. Your furry friend can also enjoy playtime in our large, securely fenced backyard that is perfect for tossing toys and running freely, and is utilized for frequent bathroom breaks. Bathroom breaks are every 1-2 hours during the day. Pets enjoy safe, supervised free roam time indoors, with owner approved treats and lots of love throughout the day. All pets are fed according to their owner’s specific instructions to keep their routine consistent and stress free. Cats in my care are always free to roam safely indoors (never outside) and have constant access to fresh water, clean litter (boxes are scooped daily) and cozy spots. For shy or nervous cats, there are plenty of quiet, secure nooks where they can feel comfortable as they adjust to their new surroundings.

Reviews
Was the best experience we could have asked for(our first time using this kind of service). Did have a few bumps in the beginning with drop off(on our end) MarryAnn was quick to help us out. Canello so had a blast with this stay. We also got all the photos and updates.
Thank you for taking great care of Wheeler!
MaryAnn is amazing! She made sure I had constant updates on my pup to ease my anxiety about leaving her with someone new for the first time. She sent great pictures and helped Phoenix feel right at home, I will definitely be rebooking if we need you again! Thank you again!!
Always does a great job & responds quickly!
