Safety, trust & environment

Owners typically give me the run down of the house (doors, locks, yard, etc.) and typical behaviors, schedules of their pet(s). I make sure to follow the detailed instructions that are left for me. A print out or email that I can reference is very helpful.

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. Do they have meds, how do they react to other dogs or people nearby, any triggers? What's their favorite treat, toy, game? I want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while their owner(s) are away!

A typical day

I'm great at spoiling your pup and giving them lots of attention. We will play games with their favorite toys, and go for plenty of walks or runs. I like to explore the neighborhood and nearby parks/woods. Lots of pets and cuddles, too (if they allow)! I play it safe and keep them away from other animals.

Mary G.'s Neighborhood

Dog lover, runner, musician!

Pet care experience

I’m a professional musician - performer, educator, and recent UM alumna. My schedule can be quite flexible. I love dogs but unfortunately can’t have my own just yet. My sister likes to call me the “animal whisperer.” I’m not sure about that, but I spoil her dogs - multiple walks a day and lots of attention. They love me! I enjoy being outside and I’m a runner, even in the winter! I work from home a lot of the time, so dog walking and sitting works very well with my lifestyle and schedule, and I find it to be a stress reliever. I can’t wait to meet your dog!

We’re so grateful Mary could come and take care of Selina again! She is fantastic with Selina and always leaves our home tidy and clean. We can’t wait until the next time we book with Mary!

Mary is an excellent sitter for my high maintenance pooch! She is communicative and very present with Angel, taking her on long walks and being flexible with what she needs in the moment. Mary leaves my place as she found it and is always very courteous and conscientious. She is one of the best dog sitters out there and I trust her in my home and with my doggo :)

Mary did great watching our two dogs and two cats for a few nights. Appreciated that she was able to let them out several times a day and spend some time with them while we were gone.

Mary is our go-to sitter! We haven’t seen Selina look so comfortable and happy with anyone else. Mary always leaves the home tidy and clean. She’s the best!

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.
