Safety, trust & environment

I'll work hard to build a trusting relationship with them. It's more than just a walk or drop in to me. Its so important to me that they are comfortable with me and know they can trust me. I'll work hard, and go at their pace, to build a relationship.

Information Mary F. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know if there are any special needs or behavior issues. I also like to find out if the is anything that makes the dog anxious when on a walk.

A typical day

I like to find out what the dog thinks is fun and do that! First I'll find out if there is a route the owner, or dog, prefers.

Pet care experience

Dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, gerbils, hamsters, birds and fish! I've taken care of animals since I was a teenager. I've always been the go to person for family and friends when they need help taking care of the non humans in their family (I have to take care of the humans sometimes but I definitely prefer the animals!!) I'm comfortable with all types and sizes of animals. I've cared for senior pets and have given medications to dogs and cats.

Grateful to have Mary as our sitter. This was our first time leaving our cat home, and we didn’t know what to expect. During our meet and greet, I can already tell that our baby will be in good hands, which put our anxious minds at ease. Our cat loved her and was always happy to see her. Highly recommend.

Can’t say enough good things about Mary! Of course the animals loved her, got picture updates every time she visited! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Mary again in the future!

Mary has been great. Very thorough, always sends pictures, and does a great job. Know my cat is happy and taken care of when she is able to help if I'm away. Much appreciated. Highly recommend.

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.
