We had such a wonderful experience with Mary! She stayed with Teddy for three nights while we were away and was so kind, attentive, and generous with him. She took him on daily walks and sent us updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Mary also went above and beyond with our home. She washed the sheets from the bed she used, watered our front porch plant, brought in our mail, and even folded towels we had left in the dryer! We came home to a happy Teddy and a beautifully cared for home. We feel so lucky to have found Mary and absolutely cannot wait to have her back to stay with Teddy again. Thank you so much, Mary! ❤️

Mary did a great job watching my pup while I was away for six days. She gave him lots of attention and short walks (he’s a frenchie so can’t walk too far in the summer). She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out, so my mind was at ease while being far away. My place also immaculate upon my return. Overall, I was very pleased and would definitely book Mary again.

Mary took care of my baby Holly for an extended period, and Holly absolutely loved Mary. Mary not only kept Holly safe and healthy, but she also took Holly on great walks, sniffing wild areas and getting lots of fresh air. Mary always treated every dog with love, letting them up on the couch (or bed) with her so they always felt included. Mary kept in touch and was great about giving me updates on Holly's time with her. Dogs would be lucky to have Mary as their caregiver! And, owners will have complete peace of mind while they are away from their pets. Mary also did housesitting for me and was meticulous about the house and garden. I always loved knowing the house, and the dogs, were safe with Mary while I was out of town.

I would love to know their daily routine so that I can mirror those activities and keep their schedule to guarantee an easy transition while you’re away.
