My first time with Mary Jo was a good experience. She accommodated the time since I needed her earlier. She was very polite. She walked my girl several times which is what she loves. She also kept me updated throughout the day. Thank you Mary Jo.

Mary Jo took good care of my Nova. She gave us updates and cute pictures. Plus she took Nova for nice long walks which my dog just loves. It was a good night for my golden doodle.

Nova seemed to have fun with Mary Jo. She provided my with frequent updates and pictures. Nova seemed to get comfortable with Mary Jo very quickly. I felt my little puppy was in good hands with her and plan on using her in the future again!

Mary was an amazing sitter for Henry! She was super communicative throughout the entire stay—sending updates and photos regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took Henry on multiple walks each day and made sure he was well cared for and happy. I could tell he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving sitter!
