Mary S. Pet Care Provider in Phoenix, NY 13135

I've been an animal lover my entire life and they seem to like me too! I've had senior and hospice rescue dogs for the last several years and have lots of experience with special needs and medication administration, including injections and have years of pet care and sitting experience. I've been doing it since I was 16 years old when I started caring for family friend's 8 English Bulldogs and their kennel over the summers. That's 46 years of experience with everything from chickens and canaries, to fish and turtles, to cats, dogs and horses and even alpacas.
I will provide the same kind of loving care and attention to safety that I give to my own fur kids. They will get fresh water, a treat if allowed and desired, snuggles and play time in addition to any walks or feedings. Kitties get their litter scooped. Photo or text updates are always available upon request and a short written daily note is done for all clients.
I do require a get acquainted meeting prior to sitting for your pets so that I have all the necessary information and also to get to know them a little bit and give them a chance to sniff check me too. I also do require owners to provide a harness for any dogs that will be walked/exercised outside of a secured perimeter such as a fenced yard, to ensure maximum possible safety. I will not walk with prong collars or choke chains.
Paw-some references! I do offer discounts for repeat clients, long term bookings or multiple animals. I also offer referral credits. Short notice is sometimes okay as long as I do not have a prior commitment. Times are guaranteed within a two hour window. For example, if you book a morning walk, it might be between 8 and 10, depending on other bookings, distance, weather or traffic constraints. If you have a specific time that is necessary due to medications that are needed, it is discussed beforehand to make sure that the commitment can be reliably honored. Your fur kids are family, and deserve the very best. Rates listed might vary and be slightly less or slightly more, depending on distance and services included. They don't allow us to list a range, so ask. I listed higher than my minimum, just to try and head off misunderstandings.
