Any home/pet owner should consider themselves very fortunate to have Mary - and her husband Ralph - care for their home and pets. Sensitive, loving, practical and resourceful are the four words I use to describe them and their attitude toward life. I have had Mary and Ralph stay in my 150+ year old home watching my dogs and ferret several times in the past while I was on extended business travel. Mary is a perfectionist when it comes to tidying up and Ralph can fix or improve almost anything that needs doing as he is a skilled carpenter. Your home and pets will be well tended if you should engage them.
