Dog Sitter for Your Companion ♡
My name is Mary Rose and I find being friendly, caring, compassionate, and attentive around dogs to be effortless. I cared for my own wonderful tri-paw West Highland terrier through his life, managing a strict three-meal per day schedule and medications (he was a very sensitive boy!) and it was all a joy to do. I have particular experience working with older dogs and dogs with disabilities. The Rover community in the Burlington area is amazing to work with and I've loved every dog I've cared for here. Because I work remotely from home, I have flexibility to spend lots of time with your pup. I look forward to meeting some new dogs and getting to know their unique personalities!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Before caring for your dog, I would like to hear everything you do for your dog so that they miss nothing but YOU while you are away. Preparing a space to be free of hazards, ensuring we have plenty of food, water, and toys, and getting to know how your pet typically interacts with a space are a given for me. Every dog and family is unique, and I plan to honor your needs in full! I am experienced in caring for older dogs who need extra help getting around or taking medications and happy to follow that routine for you.
Ratings and reviews
Mary was excellent with our pup and house - even with a past minute booking. Would recommend to anyone.

Mary took such great care of Nutmeg and our home. She gave daily updates and left a detailed note for us sharing how things went. Our home was super tidy and Nutmeg was happy and well cared for. It was easy to have fun on our trip knowing things were in capable hands back home.

Wally seems like a very happy boy with Mary in our absence. This was the second time Mary has kept an eye on things for us and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Mary did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Barkley. I think Barkley had as much fun hanging out with Mary as she did hanging out with him. Mary was thoughtful and compassionate in caring for Barkley, she made sure to walk him and took him on a few excursions. I highly recommend Mary if you are looking for a great sitter!
Mary Rose took great care of my dog while I was gone for a week. She was reliable, communicative and made my dog feel at ease. She left my place just as I had left it and even left a hand written note. Would definitely recommend!

Mary is fantastic! She is the best dog sitter, our dog seemed very happy under her care. Would highly recommend!

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and am available for lots of different setups. Working remotely means I can keep an eye on your pet close by. I get my work done and love having a little napping dog next to me on meetings! I have free time for longer walks, availability to go for quick trips outside, and to sit with your pet to make sure they are happy as can be!
