My experience

I’ve always grown up with dogs in my life; Newfoundlands, retrievers, and a Belgian sheep dog. I adore my two rescue cats, Wally and Joey. I feel honoured to be entrusted with caring for and getting to know the incredible personalities of

Mary looked after Margaret’s pets & home

I’m conflicted in this review because I want Mary’s services all to myself. She lived at our home for three weeks and left it cleaner than when we left, she left food for us for our return, and sent us photos of our cats and updates every day. This includes a shy tempermental cat who she was able to befriend with skill and love. I've told her that she is the best guest we’ve ever had in our home, and I meant it — and I’m 72 so that’s a lot of guests! I’m happy to provide further information on request. Mary walks on water!
