1. Mary C.
“We were apprehensive about leaving our lovely little dachshund with a stranger however we met the very friendly Mary in a local park before committing. She immediately put us at absolutely ease both during this meetup and throughout Ketchup's one night sleepover. We were kept up to date with photos and videos from their walks and he was both very happy and very tired when we picked him up the next day. I felt very comfortable and happy with our choice. Mary's communications were clear and excellent throughout. I think we've found a new place for our boy to stay when we need a night away! Thank you Mary!”

She took the time to meet and greet and really get our boy settled into their home. Deepthi also sent lovely photos which really kept us up to date with all things.
