Mary did a great job with both pups, even my anxious one! She was able to help us out on relatively short notice and even squeeze in a meet and greet before the sitting to acquaint herself with the pups!

Mary was great, she met with the dogs and they loved her. Unfortunately she did not do the sitting, due to scheduling issues….but in the future I would definitely ask her to watch mt 3 pups!
