Cats and Dogs Make My Day!

After using Rover myself, I am excited to work for Rover part-time. I have over nine years experience caring for dogs, including dogs with special needs. I spent five years caring for my Boxer, Bronx Brutus who had degenerative myleopathy (canine ALS) and a wheelchair! So medications, mobility issues and cats and dogs with special needs do not spook me. I am a responsible young professional, based in South Philly, who will care for your cat or dog as if he or she is my own. I have an adorable, dog-friendly, slightly feral, up-to-date on all things Pit Mix named Manny. I know how stressful it can be to leave your cat or dog alone with someone other than your family checking in, but I bet after one service, working with me will feel like family.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions to the last detail. I send comprehensive visit summaries as well. I let cats approach me first to build trust and rapport. I let dogs sniff my hand before engaging. I am happy to do meet and greets to put your mind at ease.

Mary Anna came through in a very last minute (hours really) call for cat care. I am forever grateful for her response and loving attention she gave to my two kitty babies last weekend. She is an exceptional pet care provider and just an all around wonderful person.

Mary Anna is the best of the best! She is so patient with my very sassy cat and sends updates that make me laugh out loud. I highly recommend booking her to watch your pets!

Mary Anna eased my mind while traveling! It was my first time leaving my fur baby behind for an extended period of time. Her reports were very thorough and I looked forward to her daily check-ins. I will definitely re-book Mary Anna for my future needs. Thank you again!

Mary Anna is a wonderful and caring kitty care giver. She always writes extensive visit reports and provides great photos. I feel completely relaxed about leaving when I know she’s coming.

We’ve had the pleasure of booking with Mary Anna multiple times now, and she continues to exceed our expectations. She is always incredibly communicative and flexible, especially when our cat's needs change. We completely trust her, and she has become our go-to sitter! Our cat warmed up to her quickly and now happily seeks out her attention (especially for pets and belly rubs!). We feel so lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her enough.

Schedule

Typically I can do early mornings any day, and evenings as well as any time on weekends as long as I am in town. I will ask for flexibility if my schedule does not match the schedule we book. I try hard keep my schedule up to date as best as I can and communicate upfront if my schedule differs from what you request in your initial query. (Example, you request me for 9:30am but I need to come earlier. If that works for your pet, that is what we do!) I do have a roster of repeat clients, so forgive me if I decline your request due to being overbooked!

Let me know if your kitty is shy. I will be extra careful not to spook them. Let me know if your dog had any quirks or things I should look out for during visits or walks. My dog is a sidewalk snacker...and cries on his walks even though he is not hurt or upset. So details like that set me and your pet up for success.
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.
