About Mary

Experience: 5 yrs

I have cared for my own pets for the past 25 years. I have had 4 dogs, 4 cats, hamsters, lizards & guinea pigs. I have also raised 3 children. I have been a stay at home mom for 20 years. I care for my pets like I care for my children. They are the love of my life. I am physically engaged with my pets as my dogs were all Australian Shepherds and required a lot of physical activity and mental stimulation. I walk them, play in yard, visit stores, groom, bathe, train and am knowledgeable in agility. I structure my pets' time by interacting with them for interval periods of time throughout the day. I use the crate for down time throughout the day as well. I give individual care and attention to all of my pets. The cats get brushing, playing and stroking time and brief outdoor time as they are indoor cats. I am very clean and therefore keep all hair vacuumed and litter scooped and tidy. I have also cared for pets of friends on a regular basis (dogs, fish, birds, etc.). I most recently cared for 6 finches who were delightful. At this time in my life with my children becoming young adults, I have decided to work as a pet caregiver. I have found great joy in caring for animals. I love all animals, particularly dogs. I would like the opportunity to give your pet a home away from home while you are away from your home. Depending on your needs, I would like to make myself available to come to your home or take your pet into my home for an extended stay. I would like to offer what the big kennels can't offer which is one on one attention throughout the day and night with outdoor play and indoor cuddling. I would like my home to become your pets favorite place to be other than their own home. Please consider me when you are planning for your pets care!

Mary watched our 2 large and energetic dogs while we were on vacation for 5 days. She kept me updated on how they were doing and the dogs loved having her as their pet sitter. Mary is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!
