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 and a new addition to the family Mary has resigned from school and focuses on her family and pet sitting service. Below are pictures of the family pets. A picture of the girls: (Amy, Peanut, & Sissy)
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 is the newest addition to the family. She's a Miniature Pincher (Min-Pin). She was a real challenge to potty train. She keeps Peanut on her toes playing. Sissie was born in October, 1999. This is a picture showing how much Peanut and Sissie love each other. They are 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. We also have 2 other pets not shown here. Roscoe is the latest addition to our family. He was given up by a previous owner who bought this wonderful little toy poodle and after a few months realized she made a mistake but wanted a good home for him. Roscoe fits right in here. Sydney is our oldest cat in the house. He's about 18 years old now. |

...This is my baby - companion, best friend, buddy, unconditional love
giver, no human could ever replace (humans hold onto resentments too
much). We have a bond no one could relate to except us (and pet lovers
like yourself). This is my true friend, Peanut Marie Purcell-Evans.
Rescued from Animal Services in Pinellas County on April 11, 1996 at six weeks
old and has been the TOP dog in the Purcell-Evans family ever since. How could
you not love a face like this?
