Mary Ferguson , Owner/Operator

Paw Approved is owned and operated by Mary Ferguson. Working in the medical field for many years with long days, untimely emergency calls, unpredictable schedules and travel, I often found myself searching for reliable, responsible and loving pet care for our own furry kids at home. I have a great love and appreciation for animals and a deep desire to make a difference in the pet care community. I decided to establish Paw Approved Professional Pet Services. I promise to provide the highest quality of care and attention to detail that your pet(s) and you deserve. My husband and I have 5 adorable furry children of our own, Talon, Kylie, Tux, Toffee and Mishka.
Beth, Pet Care Specialist 

Beth was born and raised in Towson, Maryland. She has always been interested in animals and has learned techniques in training, grooming and proper pet care at an early age. Beth went to school to study dance and early education, however she found her life calling as a Mom in 2001. Beth now lives in a busy home with her husband, two sons, 2 dogs and 2 cats. Both dogs, Seren and Charlotte are rescue dogs and Beth is very proud to have ties to many shelters in the area. In her spare time Beth enjoys volunteering at her son's school, dancing, karate, reading, cooking and gardening.

Danielle, Pet Care Specialist 

Hi my name is Danielle and my little princess is a pit bull by the name of Tiara. Tiara is a huge cuddle bug! I grew up in a household in Kodiak, Alaska full of pets large and small, from hamsters to horses. It brings me so much joy and happiness to care for animals and pets. I believe in giving them the best care possible and to be their voice and advocate. In my spare time I can be found painting, working on my art degree at the University of Maryland and being the Director of an art gallery.
Judy, Pet Care Specialist 

Hello fellow pet lovers, my name is Judy. As a proud mother of six children I have always enjoyed providing care for children and pets and I have LOTS of experience caring for both. Before joining Paw Approved I worked as a pre-school teacher, nursing assistant, and enjoyed caring for many of my friends and neighbors pets. Currently my family is very active in local community theatre, including my dog Pepper who also loves the stage and the spot light. Pepper recently played Toto in The Wizard of Oz. I come to Paw Approved with a great deal of experience handling many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have even assisted with several pet deliveries. I am happy to be able to provide loving care for your pet.

When her children were young, Patti had her own dog grooming business, a skill she learned when she worked at a boarding kennel. She has also spent time obedience training dogs for clients. Patti devotes time to church activities and enjoys sewing, furniture refurbishing and gardening.

Paw Approved Photographer
Jessah Serafini: I prefer a more candid approach, and love nothing more than catching a true moment rather than a posed one. I also have experience with posed photographs as well, having worked in a portrait studio! I believe both styles of photography have their merit, and I try to encompass both approaches. I have photographed families, babies, weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, and, of course, pets! http://jessahserafini.blogspot.com
