Summer Caretaker!
Pet care experience
I provide dog, cat, or other animal sitting in your own home or walking. I'm an experienced pet sitter and owner. I have plenty of awesome references and have been taking care of animals in a pet-sitting capacity for 10 years. I have volunteered with the Buddy Foundation in Arlington Heights, IL and the San Diego Humane Society. I can handle most any dogs and try to befriend even the most introverted of cats. I also will house sit while loving your fur-baby. Please let me know if I sound like the right pet sitter for your loved ones.
Reviews
Mary is fantastic! Truly enjoys taking our dog for a walk and gets in some distance in a half hour!
Mary took care of my blind, 13-year-old dog for a week while I was on vacation. I look forward to this trip every year but resigned myself to staying home this time. I felt that our dog required more care than I could reasonably expect anyone to do. We have to constantly monitor him to make sure he hasn’t got himself stuck in a corner. If we don’t watch the signals carefully, he will just pee wherever he is standing. We have to cover the floors in potty pads. I half-heartedly looked online and found a few dog-sitter websites but wasn’t impressed. Then I found Rover.com and read Mary’s profile. I contacted her through the site and booked her to sit. Everything went so smoothly. Mary is extremely conscientious and mature. She is very careful to obtain detailed instructions and follows them exactly. She took on the all the special tasks that had to be done cheerfully and efficiently. She also took care of some household chores that aren’t really part of her “official” duties. Best of all, it comforted me greatly to know that Mary loves animals as much as I do. I could tell in the photos she sent how much she cared about my dog. He looked so happy! I more than highly recommend this young woman to care for your cherished furry family members. She is a gem.
Mary was wonderful. I have two older dogs and didn't want to put them in doggy daycare during a two week vacation. She kept in touch with me everyday and it was clear from pictures she sent that the dogs were very comfortable with her. The dogs were able to spend the two weeks without dress for which I am very grateful.

I don’t have a yard but will make sure your pets get their walks safely if they are staying with me and my pup! If I’m at your house, I’ll follow whatever safety measures you have in place.

Information Mary F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the age, size, and number of dogs I'll be watching as well as a little about their personality with other dogs or children or pertinent walking information.
A typical day
I love taking walks and looking at the San Diego scenery and architecture. If you prefer your dog to stay in residential areas, we can walk around your neighborhood and go to parks. Otherwise, I'm happy to walk them near some commercial areas for lots of good smells and people to see! If I'm staying for a few days, I would love to take them to a park or hiking area if you are comfortable.
