Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to accommodate to your animals needs. If they need to be leash walked at your home, or need someone to watch them in the yard I can do that. I am also experienced with many medications and know how to administer them. Your pets needs are my top priority.

Information Mary D. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if the animal has any reactivity, special medications, conditions, and anything I need to watch for. This is to ensure your pet and I have the best experience.

A typical day

Activities depend on the dog but I will definitely make sure they get plenty of exercise! And lots of attention of course. Activities could include fetch, long walks, or indoor play time!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, I am also experienced with farm animals (including large animals) and some exotics (specifically birds and rodents). I am currently working at an animal hospital and am applying for vet school soon. I am also a member of the American Kennel Club and have experience with animal behavior. I would love to take care of your pet!

Mary is phenomenal! She communicates well and is so attentive with our fur babies. We are so happy with the care our cats receive. Her updates and notes with photos were great. Mary is reliable, thoughtful, and is clearly great with animals. It really gives us peace of mind to have Mary watch our cats while we're away. We’ll definitely be booking again and recommending to everyone we know!

We needed a sitter at the last minute for our cats and chickens, and Mary took on the task, which we were very grateful for! The updates and pictures she sent with each visit gave us peace of mind that all was well with everyone. This was our first time booking with Mary - we would not hesitate to book with her again!! She did a wonderful job!

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.
