If you are looking for the best person to care for your pet - look no further than Mary. Mary has just looked after our very senior dog, getting used to her 'ways' without any problem. Poppy had a paw problem during this time and the care Mary gave her was amazing - including much patience and perseverance giving her antibiotics. All this during the very hot weather which is not easy for anyone let alone a dog! We were kept up to date very regularly with messages and photos and it was very reassuring to know how happy she was. I would not hesitate to ask Mary again if we need care for Poppy and would recommend her to all.

Mary took great care of Patch, being especially attentive of his welfare in the hot weather. We knew Patch was in safe hands. We would like to book her again in future and would definitely recommend her to others

Mary is wonderful and I am so pleased to have met her. I went away with complete confidence that my boys would be well cared for which was a huge relief. I will definitely book Mary again.

Mary did a great dog house sitting my dog for 5 days. The house was left cleaner than I left it and my dog was super happy :) I received regular updates which I really appreciated whilst I was away. Highly recommend Mary.

I can’t speak highly enough about Mary. She is a lovely responsible and caring person and you can definitively trust her with your fur babies. She will be my go to person from now on.
