Availability

Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉

New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

I have found that most animals respond to love and care. Some of my kittens were feral when they were picked up from the shelter. However, they were all successfully adopted.

A typical day

Tell me about your fur baby and I will do my very best to accommodate and care for your animal while you are away from him/her.

A home away, when you are away

Pet care experience

New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household.

Mary was fantastic with our dog Teddy! He's a little high maintenance and she was able to handle him with no issues, and we will definitely be booking again

Great person! Very friendly, punctual, professional with lots of experience with taking care of dogs. I strongly recommend her as a dog sitter.

Mary was so helpful when we needed last minute care of our 4-month-old puppy. She handled all his extra needs expertly!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
