Mary's Profile
Mary is a Certified Veterinary Technician and started Ask Mary Pet Sitting in January, 1995. Mary is a graduate of SPJC now known as SPC with an Associates Degree in Veterinary Technology. She has 100 hours towards her Bachelors Degree with the University of South Florida. Her love for animals prompted her to offer people an alternative to kenneling their pets after working at veterinarian facilities as well as an emergency animal hospital. "Many animals do fine in a kennel situation, however, there are many more that do not. Having an alternative to a kennel is an option many people were unaware of." Mary does her best to educate people regarding an alternative to the kennel. "Pets usually are much happier and less stressed when allowed to remain in their own environment." After a serious back injury Mary has resigned from school and focuses on her pet family and pet sitting service. Below are pictures of the family pets. A picture of the girls: (Amy, Peanut, & Sissy)
Peanut is the last remaining pet and she gets to go just about every place I can take her. Mary's Family PetsLacy..... In memory of Lacy. Lacy helped Mary get through Vet Tech school as her practice patient. Lacy is still loved and missed. Mary believes Lacy lives through another member of the family, Peanut. Peanut has acquired Lacy's disposition of growling when she doesn't want to do something she's told to do (much like many humans). Peanut and Lacy had the pleasure of living together for nine months before Lacy was put to rest. Mary believes Lacy taught Peanut how to carry out some of Lacy's behaviors. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. PEANUT (dachshund mix)
AMY Sissie...
Sissie was the newest addition to the family. She's a Miniature Pincher (Min-Pin). She was a real challenge to potty train. She kept Peanut on her toes playing. Sissie was born in October, 1999. This is a picture showing how much Peanut and Sissie loved each other. They were inseparable.
![]() This was the 90 gallon reef tank Mary previously owned. It's hard to see the true beauty in a photo. A reef tank can keep you very peaceful watching the corals move with the water, the fish swimming, and the behavior of invertebrates. Taking classes at USF for Coral Reefs and Marine Biology helped Mary create a living reef in a tank. Clients that have aquariums feel very comfortable leaving their tanks in Mary's care while on vacation.
