Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet

I ask all my owners to fill in a preference sheet about their dog before boarding, which helps me know beforehand their likes and dislikes. This also helps if there are any behaviour issues I need to be aware of, e.g., dislikes other dogs or has separation anxiety. Would be good to know where your pooch sleeps, and if they like cuddles and fussing over.

A typical day

Whether a low- or high-energy dog, I will endeavor to keep your furbaby stimulated and entertained. I love to get them curious by finding things like treats. Walks on the beach or to the nearby park will be available, and there is also a large garden for them to run around.

Reliable & experienced dog lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering routine medications, or simply providing plenty of love and attention, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. I've always had pets, plus I have worked for various animal rescue organisations, here in the UK, Singapore and China, and have lots of experience in caring for and owning a dog. I'm committed to maintaining your pet's routine and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. Your dog's safety, wellbeing, and happiness are always my top priorities and I have a large doubled fenced garden for your dog to run around in safely. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Mary and her family were absolutely great with Kylo. Nothing was a problem. Kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me some great pictures. Really put my mind at rest. They said they would have him back anytime which is a bonus. I will definitely be using Mary's services again. Thank you. Xx

Mary has a love of all animals especially cats and dogs.Her cat Cleo was adopted and Mary gave her a great life.She lived till she was nearly 20.Charlie the dog also was adopted in China.Was a sorry soul when first adopted and not looked after.Mary looked after him with love and he developed into such a character. Mary worked in China with Cats protection and if she could would have filled her home with animals in need.When she moved back to the UK she worked again with the Cats protection. Her devotion to animals and her nurturing them is extrordinary.

I've known Mary for the last 5 years and can honestly say that I rate her as one of the kindest and most caring people I know. She has such an affinity and an understanding with animals and seems to know exactly what they need. With a calm and reassuring nature, she creates an instant connection with animals and humans alike. Trustworthy and reliable, Mary is dedicated to the welfare of animals and always goes the extra mile to ensure their comfort, health and happiness.
