"Due to my hectic work schedule I needed someone to take care of my special need pet when I was not able. They provided daily pet care, pet walks and lots of TLC, especially during her final days. Losing my pet was difficult; however with help from Paw Approved it made a difference. When I find my next pet, I want Paw Approved Pet Services to take care of them."

"My husband and I travel often and we had Paw Approved Pet Services come to our home to take care of our three dogs and two cats, Paw Approved was professional from the initial home interview to providing a follow-up call to see if we needed an added visit because of a weather delay with our flight. WOW! They do an excellent job pet sitting and pet walking our pets. I cannot say enough about Paw Approved and the excellent pet care and pet walking services they have provided. Thank you Paw Approved, you have won the hearts of our pets and return business from us."

"We interviewed several pet sitters when we moved to our new home and knew instantly that Paw Approved was the right choice. Mary and Beth were so professional and so kind to our high-strung dogs. Within the first week everybody was meeting them at the door. They just love Mary and Beth! Paw Approved has removed a lot of the worry associated with our unpredictable work schedules. Thank you so much!"

"Sir Garth is my diabetic Maine Coon who's been my buddy for 12 of his 14 years. He's a relatively large feline [by nature] with a rather regal attitude whom I affectionately call Mr. G or G-man. Recently my regular Pet Sitter became pregnant and had to abandon the service that she'd been providing for Mr. G for about 10 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have found Paw Approved Pet Services and its owner, Mary Ferguson. I spent weeks searching for someone with the training to administer twice-daily insulin and who was reliable and - if I really was lucky - was someone who would truly care about the G-man. I was blessed to discover, on Pet Sitters International website, that the only Pet Service in my zip code that met all those criteria was Mary and her colleagues at Paw Approved. The fees are identical to the ones I was paying. Sir Garth and I were not disappointed - in fact we were blown away with Mary's knowledge of animals, her attentiveness and her attention to detail. And Garth was as ecstatic as his regal attitude would allow - Mr. G offered his paw as his approval of his new friend."

"Mary Ferguson and her assistant, Beth, has been Pet sitting for us for over seven months. We recently welcomed a new puppy into our family and since that time we have been using Paw-Approved to stop in during the week day to take our dog for a walk and play with her. During this time, we have been extremely pleased with the service from Paw-Approved.
I have found Mary Ferguson to be exceptionally well informed when it comes to pet care and it is obvious she genuinely loves animals. We were one of Paw Approved first clients and I was very impressed with how thorough Mary was in getting her business formally running (from the brochures, web site, payment options, etc.).
Additionally, Mary has been able to help us out in a pinch when we required a last minute, unexpected visit. We are very pleased with her service and Mary and Beth are wonderful too!
I have only good things to say about Paw-Approved and would not hesitate to recommend Mary Ferguson's service."

"I have known Mary Ferguson for 38 years. She is an outgoing, respectful, understanding and caring person to man and animal since I've known her. She currently shares the care and well being of her 2 dogs and 3 cats, with Bryan her husband. Her pets/friends receive her love, care and watchful eye through the years she had owned them. All her animals are friendly and loving to even the most dog/cat fearful of strangers that enter her home.
Anyone who receives the services of Paw-Approved will be happy with the care of their pet. She will walk, play, talk to and feed your furry friend. Your home will be treated in a respectful manner by Mary; and you will be alerted to any issues noted with your pet, or their environment. Mary will keep a running journal of care and services your pet will receive, and you should never be afraid to ask any questions pertaining to their care.
I have also known Mary through the medical field, where our education and vocation lead us as young women. She can handle a crisis and can think clearly of interventions to resolve the issue at hand."
