Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Before my dog of 16 years passed away, caring for her—walks, treats, snuggles, and later medication and extra attention—was a meaningful part of every day. Because of that, I’ve kept pet care as a regular part of my lifestyle. I’m available after 5 p.m. on weekdays and free on weekends, which makes it easy for me to dedicate time to walking, playing with, and caring for pets.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow any specific instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime—to ensure pets feel secure in their familiar space. I always take time to build trust, offer attention, and keep things tidy, so owners can come home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-cared-for home.

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog sitting for over eight years, caring for all kinds of breeds—many from foster or rescue homes. I’m patient, reliable, and love making pets feel safe and happy. I also have about two years of cat sitting experience, and I always treat every pet like my own.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mary Forbes as a caregiver on Rover. I have known Mary for many years and can personally attest to her exceptional responsibility and reliability. Mary is a person I trust implicitly with my our dog, and I know she will extend that same level of care and attention to any dog in her charge. Mary's calm demeanor and dependable nature makes her a stellar candidate for anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their pet. Sincerely, Robert Forbes
