Safety, trust & environment

I personally have a fenced in yard for dogs to play in, and a dog and cat of my own who love other animals! My cat can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. We have a few options for walking near my home, from sidewalk neighborhood walks, to trails and parks nearby. However, I am a big believer that pets will usually feel most comfortable in their own homes! I am willing and able to travel to meet your animal's needs. I can visit up to three times daily for walks, playing, feedings, and medication administration. Regardless of service, I request a little information from you: your pets personality details, feeding times, bathroom habits and needs, physical activity requirements, and vet information (which we will hopefully not need!).

Information Mary A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, bathroom habits, feeding times and amounts, veterinary care numbers, or anything else you'd like me to know!

A typical day

Personally, I have a dog with high energy. We do three separate walks a day, one "sniffy" walk to stimulate his mind, one "fast walk" to get energy out, and one long walk at a medium pace for further enjoyment. My dog has a lot of toys at the house that he'd love to share, and will happily play chase or wrestle (gently) with other dogs.

Mary was great! Reliable and prompt. Took our dog for brisk 30 min walks on really cold & windy days. Gave specific reports after each walk and plenty of notice of any schedule changes. Plan to keep her as a contact for future needs!

I had such great peace of mind having Mary come to take care of my cats. She sent me photos at each visit and gave great descriptions of what the cats were up to 😊

Mary is seriously the best! Communicative, consistent, accountable, responsible. She’s amazing with my Shepard mix who has a long list of quirks. I never have to wonder if my dog is being well taken care of, I trust her constantly. Thank you for everything, Mary!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
