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!

We couldn’t praise Mary high enough. My boys have looked after during their stay in the best possible way receiving love and attention second to none. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Mary and her husband looking after our boys. Faultless. Thanks very much.

Mary and family provided Nora with a very happy holiday, sending regular updates showing Nora had settled in very quickly. I would highly recommend Mary's pet services and would be definitely booking Nora in for an another stay.

Kylo settled straight back in with Mary. I got lots of pics and updates so wasn't worried about him at all. Mary and her family are great with him. They will see him again soon. X

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.

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

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.

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.
