My work schedule is quite flexible, I work from home a lot and usually go to the office 2 days a week, but I always have the possibility to work from home or go to the office for only a couple of hours. Of course I will adapt my schedule depending on the needs of the dog if he/she is staying at my place. Then I walk a lot so walking the dog 3 or 4 times a day is not a problem at all.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious apartment with a lift. We have a private park in my building, usually dogs enjoy it a lot, it is safe and they can be off-leash. There are already a few dogs in my building that we might come across, so it's important that your dog is not reactive with other dogs. There are also a few dog parks nearby, and if they like long walk there are many nice places where to go in the city, like Het Park :) At home, dogs can sleep on my couch and there is a balcony where they also can enjoy a nap during sunny days.

Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your dog, it’s important for me to understand his needs, personality, and any behavioral issues he might have. Does he require any medication? Is he used living in an apartment in the city? Does he have any fears or triggers? How often should he be walked each day, and for how long can he comfortably be left alone? Has he ever shown destructive behavior? How does he react to other dogs we might encounter? Having all this information helps me ensure that his stay is as safe, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible :)
A typical day
I love going for walks, and I will take your dogs to places where they feel most comfortable, especially parks, where they can sniff around and explore. I’ll also play with them, whether it’s fetch with a ball, tug with ropes or other toys, and spend time cuddling if that’s something they enjoy.

Pet care experience
Bonjour ! My name is Mary, I'm 35, originally from France, and I’ve been living in Rotterdam centre for a few years now. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I grew up surrounded by them. I volunteered at animal shelters in Australia, and I currently also volunteer at the animal shelter of Rotterdam once a week. I currently don't have any pets and I really miss them. That’s why I’m offering my time to take care of your animal, whether it’s walking, playing, or having them at home for a daycare or longer. I live in a quiet apartment in the city centre with my partner, who also love dogs. We have a private park inside the building and also a few dog parks near by. There are already a few dogs in my building that we might come across, so it's important that your dog is not reactive with other dogs. I love to spend time with animals and give them a lot of affection, while meeting their needs. I am reliable, dedicated, and will care for your pet with love and attention! I also enjoy learning about positive dog training methods through videos and find it fascinating to better understand animal behaviour. I currently work in customer service, and my schedule is quite flexible (working from home a lot), which allows me to be quite available for dog-sitting. Don't hesitate to reach me out if you would like to discuss :) I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! 🐾
Reviews
She is just wonderful.
Mary and her boyfriend have been taking such good care of my dog Lola! They are really sweet to her, take her on nice adventures and walks, and make effort to understand her personality and needs. I also really appreciate that I'm getting pictures and story updates while I'm away. I've been using their services a few times already and Lola always loves staying with them! Would 1000% recommend :).
Mary is amazing! She’s very patient, friendly, and so loving with pets. Super easy to keep in contact with and very trustworthy. She became my favorite pet sitter (and I've tried many!), I recommend 100%! Thanks Mary!
We waren niet blij met deze ervaring. We hadden aangegeven dat mona een straathond is die veel begeleiding nodig heeft, bang is en blaft. Ze schreef dat ze ervaring had hiermee. Toen we haar brachten vroegen we haar niet in de buurt van ons huis te wandelen omdat het onze hond in verwarring brengt en haar even een paar uur bij haar thuis te laten wennen omdat we toch net met haar gelopen hadden. Binnen een halfuur zagen we de oppas met mona langs ons huis lopen. Ook kregen we gedurende de dag filmpjes van haar met de vraag bedoeld ze eten, plassen of spelen. We zijn de hele dag bezig geweest ermee en geen moment ontspant. Toen kregen we ‘s avonds het bericht dat ze was uitgevallen op straat tegen iemand. Dat dit gevaarlijk was. We hebben haar van te voren gezegd dat je mona bij je moet houden tijdens het wandelen en goed moet begeleiden omdat ze kan blaffen als ze bang is. Toen we haar haalden zei ze zelfs bang te zijn geweest dat ze zou gaan bijten op straat. Iets wat onze hond bij ons en andere Sitters nog nooit gedaan heeft. Ook kregen we later nog een bericht met tips en beweert zij dat wij een elektrische collar gebruiken iets wat wij nooit zouden doen bij onze hond. Wij hebben een vibrerende collar om te communiceren met mona als ze los loopt in het park. We hebben jaren met onze hond gewerkt en ook met veel professionele hulp de eerste jaren. We zijn blij hoe gelukkig mona is en dat ze nu weer bij een Sitter is waar ze heel blij en ontspannen is. Ik geloof echt dat Mary het goed bedoeld maar niet weet hoe ze met angstige of gespannen honden moet omgaan. Wij adviseren alleen mensen met een hond zonder geschiedenis bij deze Sitter te reserveren
