Expert Fur Baby Caregiver

I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds and currently own 1 dog. Buck is a mixed hound breed with high energy that demands constant attention. All of our dogs have gone through obedience classes and I have experience on using training techniques. My favorite past time is walking our dog, pet sitting for family, friends or referrals. My dog handling and sitting experience ranges from young puppies up to senior age dogs and I'm also qualified to administer medicine. Most dogs are more comfortable in their own home while their family is away, which is less anxiety plus gives the owners peace of mind. I work full time during the day but would be available for overnight pet sitting or to do drop-ins to feed and walk your dog(s) before work, around lunch time or after work. More time would be spent with your dog(s) after 5pm, to feed, play, walk or provide overall care. It's been great to meet wonderful dog owners and their pets through Rover. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to meeting you and spoiling your fur babies! References available upon request - Mary

Safety, trust & environment

I only offer dog walking, dog drop-ins or dog sitting in the pet parents home. Pets are more comfortable in their own home and it could be disruptive or stressful for them to be away from their own home let alone their family being gone.

I have used a couple different people in the past, but I believe I have found the best yet. My cats loved them and they are happy and healthy when I came back. Thank you Mary and your Husband for taking great care of the fur babies. I’ll be using you in the future.

Dog Walking • Mar 30, 2020

Mary was exceptional with our dog! We've done 2 bookings with her now, and we would highly recommend her. Our dog doesn't always feel comfortable taking long walks with people she doesn't know, and she was comfortable walking with Mary from the start.

We loved Mary! She took amazing care of our two dogs, one senior and one puppy, and took care of our house as well! Will absolutely book with her again!

Mary did a wonderful job taking care of Enzo and Bailey. We got home to two very happy (and tired) dogs thanks to Mary taking them on long walks. My wife and I highly recommend Mary’s services if you’re looking for a wonderful pet sitter.

House Sitting • Oct 15, 2018

Couldn’t have been more pleased with Mary. She kept us well informed and sent many pics of our 3 dogs during our vacation. I was very nervous about using a service I had never used before and ended up being very pleased and confident in using rover.com. I am thrilled to be able to take a trip without agonizing about leaving our dogs. Especially since I have one who occasionally has seizures. Although I’m sure they have many great sitters, I would recommend asking for Mary!

Any questions or concerns will be discussed at the time of the meet/greet to discuss expectations, routines and overall care. Each family has specific concerns and the care would be customized based on the requests. I love all breeds of dogs!
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.
