Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet

I think knowing any and all medical conditions prior to dog sitting/walking would be ideal. Also, information pertaining to the pet's temperament would be ideal. Also, knowing any triggers that may upset your pet would be ideal.

A typical day

I have personal fenced in property to let dogs run free as well as being in close proximity to dog parks, parks, and greenways which are great in order to give pets exercise and to release energy.

Pet care experience

I've been around farm animals and pets (small and large) my entire life. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight pet sitting. I have experience with simple commands/training for puppies (sit, shake, etc). I also have been the caregiver for senior dogs with duties including but not limited to diaper changes, administering medications, etc. I currently have an open schedule. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding, as well as daily walks, playtime, feedings. I have a flexible schedule. My home has a very large fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run, play and get exercise. I have multiple clean large and small dog beds and blankets. I also have a dog crate and a portable doggy playpen. I also have pet stairs for senior dogs and cats.

Mary does a fantastic job every time she watches our cats. One of our crew, Sylvie, is a former feral who hides when strangers come over - even my parents don’t see more than the occasional glimpse of this cat. Over the course of several times sitting for us, Mary has worked to make Sylvie comfortable while giving her lots of space. On our most recent time away, Sylvie let Mary pet her 🥹 Mary takes care of our pets like they’re her own and we are so grateful for her.

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.
