Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & experienced dog lover
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, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I have a large, double-fenced garden for your dog to run around in safely. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Ratings and reviews
Thanks, Mary and family! Auggie loved his stay with Mary and her whole family, and they treated him like their own. Mary shared a regular stream of pictures and videos showing him thriving both inside and out. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again with his care or to recommend to others.
Were absolutely fantastic with my dog Paddy and would 100% without any doubt let paddy stay again couldn’t have asked for any better. Pictures and videos everyday, walks down the beach playing around, I highly recommend
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.

Schedule
I am retired and will be there for your dog each day for cuddles, walks and lots of TLC. When your dog comes to stay, they will be part of our family and loved and cared for as if they are our own. I will keep to your walking schedule and make sure your dog has plenty to keep them entertained. I always have one dog at a time and never have dogs from different owners in my home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a large, double-fenced garden, so there's lots of space to run around. Your furbaby will have a space on the sofa and the bed and will be looked after as if they were my own. I have 30+ years of experience, having owned my own dogs and worked with animal rescue organisations.
A typical day
I will endeavor to keep your furbaby stimulated and entertained while the stay with me. 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.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeMary can host up to 1 pet per night
- 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., not good with other dogs on walks or has separation anxiety. Having prior knowledge of your dogs' temperament, behaviour, and likes will help me prepare for their stay, inorder for them to have a wonderful time and you can have peace of mind while you are away.
