Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life from high energy boarder collies to lazy corgis. So, newborn puppies to dogs recovering from surgery I can care for them all.

Mary Lou took great care of our pup when we traveled out of state for a wedding! She is experienced, friendly, and communicative.

As always, Marry Lou took excellent care of my senior pup. She is flexible, reliable, and kind!

Mary Lou was great with my little guy! She takes into account age, special circumstances, and usual routine to try to take the best care of the dog she has with her. My senior dog has settled into a routine for her daycare and even cries to get out of the car when we pull up in her driveway!

We have been very happy with Mary Lou and her care of our dog. Pepper just loves her and Mary Lou has been kind to all of us. Pepper loves being there and we feel grateful to have found a good place for Pepper to run, play, and socialize with other dogs.
