Mary's Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I absolutely love dogs! I lost my precious multipoo of 12 years about 8 years ago and I still miss her. I would love to shower your dog with the love I had for my little Rosie. I have been dog sitting for 8 years and I absolutely love it! I personally don't like to see dogs boarded. I believe it's best for the dog to stay in the comfort of their own home. You don't have to worry about them getting hurt by other dogs, being stuck in a cage the majority of the time you're gone, or having them feel like you've abandoned them. I've seen first hand how boarding can be traumatizing for rescue dogs. Each of the dogs I take care of are very special to me! Whether you need me to come stay at your house while you're gone, or stop in for a visit, I'd love to take care of your fur baby. Thank you!

Mary and her mother were absolutely fantastic! They warmly welcomed their itty bitty guest and took care of him with great love and attention. They carefully reviewed all the instructions we provided and were easily reachable, which made us feel more relaxed and less worried.

Thank you Mary and Connie for caring for our sweet Zoey! We appreciated the pictures and great communication before and during our vacation! Our flight was delayed for hours but thankfully we were able to pick up Zoey early the next morning before Mary’s next client arrived! We did have to pay an extra night charge.

Mary & Connie were absolutely great ! They were so kind and attentive to our dog Louie and his special needs. They took him for walks and made sure he was well cared for. He can be a bit high maintenance since he is 14 years old. Mary and Connie took great care of our home as well and kept in touch with us on how things were going. They have lots of experience and certainly a trustworthy team. So glad to have met Mary and Connie.

Mary did such a wonderful job watching our little anxious pup. We were in a crazy situation and needed to book someone while we were on vacation(crazy story, not worth getting into) Mary stepped even in this unusual and difficult situation. Our pup, Jace, was very scared and definitely hid most of the time he was being watched, but Mary stuck with it and at least was presence there for Jace. I appreciated what she did so much!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, special food, if they have a favorite toy or blanket, and if they sleep with you or in a crate. Let me know if they have a schedule they typically follow and if you have a fensed in yard or not. Thanks! :)

A typical day

Every dog is different and has their own needs. I love to play with them + their favorite toy, if they have any puzzles or snuffle mats, special treats, or like to play outside. It's really up to you and what your dog prefers. I'm also a great snuggle buddy if they love cuddling.
