Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that each pet is comfortable with my presence in their home and try to maintain their routine exactly how they're used to it to reduce any anxiety. I let them warm up to me however they adjust best.

Information Mary D. would like to know about your pet

If there's any extra information you can provide please let me know! If you need me to update you on any behaviors (or pictures!) I will always be able to do that as well.

A typical day

I love to let them take their time enjoying smells on walks and maybe new routes. If we're at home I like playing with them with their favorite toy or doing treat puzzles and tricks.

Pets

Walking dogs for the love of it :)

Pet care experience

I'm a long time animal lover and animal shelter volunteer/coordinator. I started dog walking/sitting two years ago and have made wonderful connections and gained invaluable experience with a variety of breeds. My 15 year old cat was my best friend and so I know how important it is to keep other people's furry best friends safe and stress free.

The sweetest sitter ever! My sometimes very sassy cat loved her immediately and felt super safe with her around. Thank you! :)

Mary is awesome! My new kitten and adult cat have not met yet and are currently separated. Mary took the time to visit and play with each of them separately. I feel so much better knowing they’re in good hands while I’m at work. Will definitely be rebooking!

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.
