About Mary B.

Safety, trust & environment
Pets are a part of our family. They will get to cuddle on the couch with us, and go to the park for our walks. Anytime we go outside, they will be on a leash since we do not have a fenced in yard. We do have an electric fence if your dog is familiar with one! We have chickens, so they can enjoy all the smells! Your rules are my rules, and you can rest assured that your pet will be treated like family, and I will follow all of your instructions.
Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet
I have two elementary aged children that have grown up with dogs and know how to treat them. They will be interacting with your pet, and they must be child friendly in order for me to take care of them. I need to know how your dog behaves on a leash, and around other animals so that I can be prepared for when we go on a walk.
A typical day
There is a park less than five minutes from my house where we go to take walks. I love to play fetch and play tug of war, as well as give lots of pets!

Pet care experience
Hi! I have many years of experience with dogs and taking care of pets when clients are out of town, at work or recovering from surgery. Although this is a part time job for me, I take this very seriously and hope to be able to do this fulltime one day as I enjoy it so much. My family and I have a dog, who is friendly with everyone and is trained and socialized. She is fully vaccinated and is on flea, tick and heart worm preventative. With my previous dog that passed away at age 16, I had to give her oral medications and an IV under the skin while she was going through kidney failure. I have two kids that can also help keep your pets loved on and exercised while your pet is staying with me. I live less than five minutes from a park. If I am doing a drop in, or a walk, my kids will usually be with me. I will only accept one pet at a time for boarding or daycare so that your pup is safe and gets lots of attention, unless there are two in a family to ensure the safety of your pet. Any new clients will need to schedule a meet and greet to ensure that all involved will be comfortable with the services to be provided before the dates of service will be confirmed. I serve on a first come first served basis, and dates are only guaranteed once booked and paid for through the rover app. I look forward to working with you!
Reviews
Great communication and went above and beyond to do a great job!
Watched my cats for a week. Above and beyond. Even cleaned up puke and did the related laundry. The only reason I'm comfortable traveling.
Mary has been an exceptional pet sitter for our dogs and cats. She’s incredibly kind and patient, always communicative, and consistently shares photo updates. Her attention to detail and flexibility with scheduling have truly impressed us. We couldn’t ask for anyone better—highly recommend her and deeply appreciate her dedication to caring for animals.
My cats are my kids. The only things that matter in the world. My cats are both ferals that came inside, they're not the most cuddly or the most social. Mary likes my cats, my cats like Mary. Mary feeds them on time, spends time with them, gives them treats, and gives me peace of mind when I can't be there for my kids. If I can't watch my cats I'm happiest if Mary can.
