The furry ones love Mary Ann
The furry ones love Mary Ann; they are very comfortable around her. We get daily picture updates, and the place always looks incredible.

So lucky to have found her
It was my first experience with sitters and I can’t believe I will ever get any one as marvellous as Mary Ann She made me worry free from the beginning so I could enjoy our trip knowing that my darling doggies would be properly looked after So lucky to have found her

Mary Ann was an incredible house and dog sitter
Mary Ann was an incredible house and dog sitter for a full month at our place. She took wonderful care of our dog Miele — noticing and reporting back on small health details that only a professional would catch. She also kept detailed notes of everything that happened, which she shared with us upon our return, giving us real peace of mind. Despite our very short window to meet beforehand, Mary Ann was punctual and flexible, making things smooth from the start. During her stay she also went out of her way to help us find something at the house and promptly sent us important information when we needed it. We came back to a spotless home, thriving plants, and a happy, healthy Miele. We’d love to have her back anytime and would recommend Mary Ann wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Mary Ann was absolutely lovely
Mary Ann was absolutely lovely! From the very first phone call we knew our home and animals were in good hands. We would love to have her back, as our dog and chickens won’t stop asking for her :-) She also left our home in PRISTINE condition which was such a nice treat after a long travel day. Thank you for everything Mary Ann!

Mary Ann is the best
Mary Ann is the best. She took great care of our dogs both of whom really like her. The house was spotless and she had even washed the sheets from our bed. With her professional background we have total confidence with her pet care. She did everything possible to make our return easy including meeting us at the ferry. We have asked her to house sit for us before and we will do so again.

Absolutely ideal experience
Absolutely ideal experience - great communication, happy, well-entertained and snuggled pup, and OMG spotless house upon return. Could not recommend any more enthusiastically.

A wonderful sitter
Mary Ann was an awesome sitter - easy to coordinate drop-off/pick-up plans and excellent communication before, during and after the sit. We arrived home to a very clean and tidy house, with laundered linens and bed made! We received regular updates and photos. Mary Ann even worked with our pooch to make walks more enjoyable for her and had many great ideas for us. A wonderful sitter overall, you’d be fortunate to book Mary Ann!

She did a wonderful job
I just had a wonderful pet set by Mary Ann, she arrived promptly on time ready to take care of my two cats, and a dog was very helpful and caring. She took advantage of all the local sightseeing. I think she enjoyed her stay as well. I highly recommend her. She did a wonderful job.

Mary Ann is a gem
Mary Ann is a gem! She went above and beyond. My dog was sad to see her go and the cats unhappy to not be getting as much attention. Mary Ann also watered and cared for my outdoor garden and veggie seedlings. Tasks I was so grateful for. The house was cleaned including areas I had forgotten to get to before I left. I can't recommend Mary Ann enough.

Mary Ann is welcome at my home anytime
This is my second time having Mary Ann sit! She’s communicative and showed my kitty Flora so much love and attention. Mary Ann is welcome at my home anytime.

A perfect sitter
Mary was a lovely catsitter and houseguest - I’d recommend her unequivocally to all. She sent me adorable daily updates on my cat’s antics, as requested, and was fully self-sufficient. I always do my best to leave a tidy apartment for sitters but I genuinely believe Mary left it even cleaner. She’s really a perfect sitter - you’d be lucky to host her!

Mary Ann was fantastic
Mary Ann was fantastic! She is coming back in a few weeks to look after Flora again. She is thoughtful, reliable, very communicative and Flora was super happy when I got home. Mary Ann is welcome back any time!

Went above and beyond
Mary Ann took care of our home and two cats for just over two weeks and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We could tell from the start that she is a professional as she took note of all our direction and quickly learned their habits, like/dislikes etc. The cats clearly loved her as they are still looking for her. Our place was immaculate when we got back. She went well above and beyond our expectations. Thanks so much Mary Ann!!

Don't hesitate
Don't hesitate if you are lucky enough to be offered house and pet sitting by Mary Ann. She is organized, self sufficient, practical and caring. I can't recommend her highly enough. Our elderly dog and home were both beautifully looked after. She left our home immaculate. Liking her as a person was the cherry on top.

We could not have had a better sitter
We could not have had a better sitter. Mary Ann was trained and worked as a vet and she showed it in her care of our dogs. She was superbly organized, cared for them and walked them regularly. She obviously cared. When the power went out in a storm she had them with her in front of the fire. When we returned they were both clearly attached to her. We would ask her to come again if she was available when we need a sitter.

We look forward having Mary Ann back again
When we met, Mary Ann had a list of questions for us, which I thought was a great idea. Our home was spic and span and our Princess looked happy and well cared for on our return. We received bi weekly updates with photos.. We look forward having Mary Ann look after our fur baby again.

Mary Ann is an excellent housesitter
Mary Ann is an excellent housesitter. She took amazing care of our fur babies, even training one of our cats to become comfortable in the cat carrier (something we were never able to do ourselves). Mary Ann is very organized and has her own checklist to ensure she has all the necessary information handy. She kept our place very clean and was meticulous with her communication and updates, which we greatly appreciated. We can recommend Mary Ann to everyone and would feel fortunate if we are able to get her again as our housesitter!

Highly recommend this confident and caring hoise sitter
Mary Ann put me at ease immediately with her delayed, fact finding mission! I liked her attention to detail and clear kind care she took of my cats. Mary Ann played with them, kept them well looked after and kept them good company. I had lots of updates and not concerns. I would highly recommend Mary Ann and would let her look after my animals and house again in a heart beat.
Leah, Thailand, March 2024
Mary Ann was great
Mary Ann was great! She was very detailed in getting all the information necessary to take care of my cat and home. Communication before the sit was clear and she was willing to come in early so I could show her around before I left. She sent me updates during my trip and I felt completely comfortable with my cat's care. I'd love to have her back again!

A wonderful sitter
Mary-Ann was a wonderful sitter, very communicative and extremely self-sufficient. She really took the time to play with my kitties and give them attention, and she left my place completely spotless! She was very thoughtful about doing laundry for me too. I wouldn't hesitate to have Mary-Ann sit for me again.
