Mary took great care of Bucky. We got regular pictures and updates. We knew he was in good hands and happy. I would highly recommend Mary.

Mary is absolutely the best! She is so kind in all her interactions and is amazing with pets. Mary took incredible care of our dog while we were away at a wedding. He felt so at ease with her, I would rebook with Mary any time!

Mary has looked after my cat and elderly dog several times, and for extended stays. This most recent booking was more worrisome for me because my dog was suffering from back pain and was on medication. As always, Mary communicated daily with me, sending pictures and updates. My dog was fine and probably did even better being in the company of Phoebe, than being just with me. I cannot express how valuable the care and service is that Mary provides. My anxiety about leaving my pets is greatly lessened knowing they will be in Mary's capable hands. Thank you so ver much!

Mary was amazing looking after our 12 week old puppy Dolly. It was immediately obvious the connection she has with dogs as she scooped up dolly and I watched her tail wagging with joy being in Mary’s arms. It was a lovely surprise to receive photos of Dolly too. Thank you Mary - I highly recommend.
