Drop-In Visits • May 30, 2026

We couldn't be happier with the care our dogs received while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, Rover, Mary, was communicative, reliable, and clearly passionate about animals. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and it was obvious they received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Coming home to relaxed and content pets was the best indication of how wonderful their experience was. We highly recommend Rover and MARY to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. Thank you for going above and beyond—we will definitely book again!

Mary was so awesome. I got pictures everyday of my animals and I felt completely safe with her in my house. I will be using her services again.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets deserve more than just a quick check-in—they deserve real attention, care, and companionship. I provide in-home pet sitting so your pets can stay in their routine and feel completely at ease. From walks and hikes to feeding and quality time, I make sure they’re not just cared for, but genuinely enjoyed and loved while you're away. Dependable, attentive, and animal-loving—you can trust that your pets are in great hands.

Before sitting, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet so I can provide the best care possible. It’s helpful to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any quirks or behaviors. I also like to understand how they do with other animals, new people, and being left alone. Please share any medical needs, medications, or special instructions, as well as their favorite activities, toys, and comfort habits. The more I know upfront, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and healthy.
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.
