My pup, Karai, fell in love with Mary Ann and her pup. Mary Ann was accommodating and was available for an early drop off while I went out on the water for the day. She kept me updated with photos. I would gladly have Karai stay with Mary Ann again,

This was the first time leaving my dog at anyone other than a family member's house, so I was a bit skeptical and uneasy. Mary Ann's apartment is in a large apartment complex, which didn't appear to have much for grass or trees immediately surrounding where she lives. Upon her answering the door, we were greeted by her very happy, friendly, well-mannered dog. Seeing her dog's behavior made me feel a little bit better about leaving mine. Mary Ann's profile says she accepts dogs of all sizes, but based on the brief encounter that I had with her holding back my dog, a large Labrador retriever, she and her living arrangement seems best for smaller dogs. My dog stayed with her during the daytime for two days, and left both days happy and excited to go back the second day. Communication with Mary Ann was very brief with little conversation, but I can only assume my dog played inside with her dog a good portion of the day based off from my dog's behavior. Overall I would rate the experience as average. I would have liked to have had a bit more communication and perhaps a look at her apartment to see where my dog was going to be. She appears to treat dogs well and be a good person, but again, the lack of communication can make you feel like your dog is with a complete stranger.
