Pet care experience

Doggy paradise and non stop cuddles

I'm a friendly, outgoing person with lots of love to give! I have always loved dogs and have had a range of lovely doggies in my family home since I was 1. They have included an elderly spaniel with mobility issues, a blind springer spaniel that needs constant help and heaps of love and most recently a crazy spoodle puppy who demands attention and constant walks! I love caring for all of them and enjoy the different care needs they all bring. I miss having them around now so rest assured I have plenty of love to give your special friends. I enjoy walking, having recently completed the Three Peaks Challenge, so any length of walk is doable for me!

Willow enjoyed her time with Mary-Lou who was very punctual and friendly. We appreciated that she wanted to meet us beforehand and gave us peace of mind while we left Willow in her care. She walked her and played with her and tired her out for us! We would not hesitate to use Mary-Lou again and fully recommend her. Thank you.

Mary-Lou was brilliant with our 2 rescue girls, I’ve never left them before but I was totally at ease. We could tell she had an affinity with dogs and understood their issues. Came back to a clean and tidy house which was not in the job description! I would definitely recommend her and hopefully she will be available for us next year. Thank you so much x

The best experience! Mary-Lou kept us updated each day and it was so reassuring knowing that Penny was being looked after like a home away from home! Thank you so much. Definitely will be our first go to for Penny!! Xx
