Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any quirks! Like my lil one likes to smoother our face as a way to say I missed you! Our big one barks to tattle on her sister! If you dog requires special food or medicine or just needs a special quiet place to chill.

A typical day

I have doggie puzzles and snuffle mats for a hide and seek treats(food) games. We do stuffed Kongs for busy work. We run around backyard working in fetch and basic commands come, sit, drop it. Look, stay and a release command(ok)

When we pull into the driveway my dog starts crying with excitement to see Mary and his other doggy friends. I couldn’t ask for a better indication that he is happy when he is there…what a reassurance for me!! Highly recommend!!!

Mary is our go to for boarding our large Great Pyrenees. She provides an understanding space for them (our younger one has a traumatic past) and always provides updates, photos and vids. I know my pups love running around in her securely fenced yard and playing with her dogs and others she boards. We know they are always well loved and cared for while in her home.

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.
