“If you want complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands while you’re away, have Mary watch them! Pepper had the best time at her “homestay” running around the yard, going on walks, and snuggling on the couch. Mary is very experienced, flexible, understanding, communicative, and considerate of your usual routine. you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches - when I picked my pup up, she had even snuck in some unexpected treats and goodies! Cannot recommend her enough. I would love for Pepper to be cared for by Mary again in the future.”
