This was our second time booking with Mary and Marlo - we absolutely adore them! Our guy Bentley was well taken care of and the pictures, videos and status updates kept us at ease throughout our trip. They are attentive, communicative and SO friendly. Thank you, Mary and Marlo for all that you do!

Mary was great with Coco, and great with communication, throughout. She would always send multiple pictures of Coco, on walks, eating, playing and napping. 🙂 She updated me on anything that affected Coco. I would definitely ask Mary to take care of Coco again, knowing she was in good hands. :)

Mary was an incredible sitter. She shared daily updates, photos and videos so I was assured that my dog, Lyle, was not only being cared for, but being spoiled! Lyle got multiple daily walks, special treats, toys, and ample snuggles. I cannot recommend Mary and her husband enough! Can’t wait to rebook with them next time we need care for our sweet boy!

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.
