Safety, trust & environment

I never take dogs off the leash when going outside. I want to mitigate any risk possible. I also try to avoid places with lots of other dogs so the dog will not get stressed or easily agitated. Unless you want me to have them socialize of course! I can easily crate dogs or keep them in one room if needed.

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog does not like other dogs. I will avoid dogs on my walks. Let me know if they have any special areas they like to go to or play in! I also ask my clients to please lock up any firearms in the house for the safety of your pet and I. If a firearm is not locked up, a pet can easily knock it off the counter and accidentally fire. Thank you!

A typical day

I love to actively play with dogs! I play fetch, tug-a-war, and any other games you like to play with them. I will give them all the belly rubs and head scratches. If I am watching cats, I will play with all the toys they like!

Caring and responsible pet lover

Pet care experience

I have been walking dogs for over a year now and I have had dogs and cats of my own ever since I was a little kid. I have been on Rover dog sitting for over 2 years and absolutely love caring for your pets! Previously, I walked dogs in Philadelphia for a dog shelter. I foster cats frequently and feed the neighborhood strays. I am available to check in on cats too! I work from home so I am able to give your pets extra love if I am house sitting.🐱 🐶 I am available for house sitting for dogs and cats and walks. I am looking forward to meeting your furry friend!! A little bit about me: I am a recent graduate of Temple University with a Bachelors in Global Studies. When I am not caring for pets I like to crochet and bake :).

Mary did a great job with our two dogs and our cat! She provided frequent updates and also pictures of our animals while we were away! I’m glad we booked Mary to stay with them while we were away and not have them boarded. They were very happy when we got back home and we could tell that they had a great time. We would absolutely book Mary to stay with our pets again and will reach out for future vacations. Thank you so much for taking great care of them!

Mary took great care of our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. We will definitely book with Mary again.

Mary did an exceptional job caring for my pittie, Luna. She sent lots of updates and pictures. She is communicative and reliable - we will rebook!

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.
