Mary Ellen was excellent. I was completely disheveled when leaving for my trip. Not a problem, Mary Ellen had no issues. My two older fur balls were well taken care of and were very happy despite my failings to get everything done before I left. We are all happy that we found Mary Ellen.

Mary Ellen has been taking care of my 2 doxens for almost 2 months now. She is the sweetest lady I have ever met. When she came over to meet the dogs they were already in love with her within minutes. When I say Mary Ellen's name they start barking with excitement, wag their tails and jump around! It makes me feel completely at peace having Mary Ellen because I know my dogs are well taken care of and given love and attention. She watches them 3 days a week. She calls or writes notes to keep me informed of everything and always willing to help. My youngest pup Leo started barking and having some other behavior issues and Mary Ellen solved them very quickly. The tips she gave me were extremely valuable. I would recommend Mary Ellen without a second thought because not only is she so kind and helpful but she absolutely loves animals and you can tell the second she starts to interact with them.

Mary Ellen is an excellent care giver! She provided care for my two older "girls" who are very picky and did an excellent job connecting with them, caring for them and offering her knowledge and advice! I highly recommend her to anyone! She truly cares! Thank you Mary Ellen!

Mary Anne showed up while I was gone and she fed and watered my cat. No problems. Interactions with her were pleasant and she always called me back quickly. Recommend!!
