Mary Ellen is a wonderful pet sitter!! I have a very anxious border collie and Mary Ellen was amazing with him. He is always excited to see Mary Ellen. Would highly recommend her.

Mary Ellen is such a loving pet sitter. She has such a heart for both cats and dogs. She is kind-hearted to animals and is well versed in dispensing medication including IVs since she was a nurse as well for many, many years. You would be lucky to have Mary Ellen care for your animals in your home or hers.

I am a single pet parent of a special-needs silky terrier poodle mix, and she is very helpful with him when I am away because of her professional job as a nurse. I know he is getting the best care possible when I travel. I have used her twice already because I travel with my job at times and I know my little guy is in good hands.
