My Mom passed and left me her precious pups and with my other babies including two fish tanks it would be impossible to leave them even for one night. But I know everyone is loved with needs met and that my home is safe in the hands of these loving caregivers. I highly, highly recommend Mary Puppens Pet Sitting to take the worry of your pets away when you need help, they have even been super helpful when I have had to pull a double shift and just need someone to check on them and let them out on those days. Safe, knowledgeable and reliable.

UPDATE: Since this review has been posted, Deandre has contacted my family multiple times to try to…read morehave this review take down. I guess as a small business owner, you never want to hear that your customer relations and people skills are absolutely terrible. Stay away. Stay far away. If you want any kind of peace of mind while you're away, you will not find it here. Last month, our usual dog-sitter was booked for our vacation so we had to look elsewhere. We found Deandre on Rover, but booked her off of the app so we could make payments since she is quite expensive. I dropped off our three dogs there, and genuinely thought it was a nice area (big yard with space for the dogs), even though the owner seemed pretty scattered. There were other at least three other dogs in her care, including a puppy. She hadn't sent us a contract to sign yet, so upon arrival, I was handed a notebook with my dog's names scribbled in marker that she wanted me to sign. For a long trip, this was a fairly late notice decision on our part, so I didn't think much of it. We leave for our trip and hear very little from Deandre (no pictures or updates), and the next day, she calls my fiancée frantically and says that our (friendly service) dog had bitten another dog badly enough to be taken to the vet, and that our other dog had started a fight. Here's the thing: we were never explicitly aware that our dogs would be playing freely outside in the heat for hours (yep--she said she did that) with dogs they had never met. I saw several dogs there along with several cages, so I had assumed they would be kept separate for extended periods. Our dogs, even the well-behaved one, are total jerks, but they've never been aggressive, though we definitely entertained the possibility that they caused this trouble given the circumstance. With the information we have, we think our dogs have legitimately done something bad, so my fiancée starts asking for some more details, like if we needed to compensate the other dog owner, and the general state of our dogs. Deandre was woefully unable to communicate any context to the situation, and began talking in circles. The phone call ends, and my fiancée texts her some general and very reasonable questions about our dogs (we wanted pictures of them to make sure they were okay) and the situation in general. It's getting pretty late in the day at this point, and Deandre calls back and tries (briefly and poorly) to answer some of the questions. She then says that she doesn't want to keep going back and forth with us, and that we've texted her with too many questions. This is when she goes off the rails. She proceeds to be extremely rude to my partner, and goes on to tout her own capabilities as a caretaker, among many other uncalled for things. We were excessively kind with her and never attacked her ability; we literally just wanted her to update us on the outcome of a situation that our dogs had seemingly caused. This woman has zero communication skills. Our friends were with us while we were on the phone, and all of us were shocked at her behavior. The next day, we inform her that my dad would be coming to sign them out, and that our usual dog-sitter (who had an opening) would be coming to pick them up. We barely heard a word from her. After they were picked up, she didn't offer a refund of any kind for the remainder of their stay (almost a week). She only sent us our money back after we threatened to get an attorney involved. Even then, she shorted us $10 and kept one of the water bowls. If you want to hear the phone call where she loses her mind, let us know.
