Highlights
Pet care experience
Hello!
I've taken care of multiple of my own pets such as aquatic life, gerbils, dog, and guinea pigs. I have also taken care of friends pet cats and dogs in the past.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm open to any and all age and types of dogs. I love any pets from the ones who attack you with kisses to the ones who are anxious or nervous. Letting the pet open up on its own terms is the best way to form a bond.
Ratings and reviews
Worked out great Would have again. The furry friends had a great weekend
Mary was fabulous with our three dogs. She gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend and kept us updated with lots of pics. Toby even needed eye drops twice/day and she handled that perfectly. I know they can be a handful (and somewhat needy), but Mary was amazing, and we would definitely book with her again!
Overall, our dogs were well cared for, but I was disappointed that our large dog was allowed on the bed during his stay. We discussed during the meet-and-greet that he is not allowed on furniture because we’re trying to keep that boundary consistent. Since coming home, he’s been trying to jump on our bed, so we’re now having to retrain that behavior. I would have appreciated our house rules being followed as discussed.
Mary was great with the pets; played games, brought treats and gave them a lot of live!
We had a great experience with Mary caring for Bella and Klaus! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and I felt confident they were safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. The only small note is to double-check the most up-to-date care instructions before each stay, as there was a mix-up with feeding directions due to older info still being on the app versus updated notes on our fridge. She was very kind and apologetic when I brought it up, and I appreciate her responsiveness. Overall, we’d recommend her! :)
The kids love Mary! Reliable, compassionate, and goes above and beyond!
