Safety, trust & environment

I love to take dogs for walks. I take my dog for a walk every day to my apartment's dog run where we play for at least 30 minutes. If your dog is staying overnight with me, I can make sure to take your dog to the dog run when it's cooler, right before sunset. I can watch cats in my apartment, too.

Information Mary E. would like to know about your pet

My dog is high energy and is friendly to all. He will welcome your dog or cat with open paws. The more pets the merrier!

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs, if they enjoy that. Walks at your dog's pace are my specialty. If your dog wants to stop and sniff everything, then that's what we'll do. I like providing healthy treats occasionally and we can play tug of war, if your dog likes that. I know Remy (my dog) LOVES it.

Pet care experience

I've always felt more comfortable with animals rather than people. I've worked with horses off and on for years. I like dogs more than most people. I feel comfortable around dogs that many people are afraid of. I take a cautious approach to dogs and let them get comfortable with me before petting them. I enjoy letting cats be themselves and slowly come out of their shell. I'd like to think I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable around me.

MC was wonderful in taking care of our small dog Sophie. We could see that she really made it an enjoyable experience from the great pictures and videos she sent. We will definitely hire her again and know Sophie will be thrilled to see her!

Mary was absolutely amazing! From the moment we left, she made us feel completely at peace about being away for a full week. She cared for my fur baby with so much love and attention, sending thoughtful updates and sweet photos that showed how well he was doing. You can truly tell she has a heart for animals — patient, gentle, and so attentive to every detail. Coming home to happy, relaxed dog was the best feeling. We are incredibly grateful for her care and would trust her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets like her own!

This is my 1st time using Rove so I was nervous to leave my girl with a strangers, but after meeting Mary my fear quickly faded. Thank you Mary and Rove :)

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.
