Safety, trust & environment

I live by a park and have ample space in my home to provide a nurturing, expansive home away from home for your pets. I will send you real time photos and videos to show you just how happy and well your loved fur baby is doing while you’re away.

Information Mary D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your dog has any special needs, allergies, takes any medications, mood or trauma concerns (ie anxiety, does not like sudden movement), triggers (ie certain words/ sounds/ movements/ behavior that create discomfort), and how they react to being around other dogs and people.

A typical day

I love being able to provide mental and physical stimulation and engagement with pets on their level of comfort. From playing games with them (with and without their toys) to offering lots of snuggles and walks, I often take dogs to parks to enjoy all the beautiful smells and sounds outside.

Pro Caregiver to Love on Your Pup

Pet care experience

For two decades, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. From neighbors and family members to friends and their referrals, I’ve been a reliable, attentive caretaker to meet a variety of pet care needs: dog walking, feeding, bathing , calming anxiety, and companionship. Personally I’ve also been a loving dog mom to a black lab and shih tzu. It’s not just a job - it’s a joy!

Mary hung out with our anxious girl while we were out for most of the day. She’s always very communicative and our dog loves her! It’s so not great having to worry, and knowing our pup is in good hands!

Doxy knows Mary from overnight stays so I knew she’d be pleased to see her for a quick check-in! Mary was communicative and sent videos so we knew our pup was doing ok. Always appreciate Mary’s care! Thank you!

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.
