Information Mary Hastings P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any quirks and needs your dog has, also any tips and tricks that might work well for them. I do have a dog of my own who really loves to play so I prefer dogs who are friendly and love playing.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and explore our neighborhood! In the mornings and afternoons we get plenty of play time outside, during the middle of the day most dogs prefer to rest and play with toys inside. For potty breaks we go across the street to Lincoln Park where there’s also plenty of opportunities to socialize.

Mary did a great job watching my dog Larry. She was very responsive and responded to a last minute request which I very much appreciate. Highly recommend.

It seemed like Dakota did really well and enjoyed his time with Mary and her dog. Mary was accommodating to our scheduling needs and accommodated a meet and greet to make sure the pups would get along. Dakota seemed to enjoy her outdoor spaces. We would book Mary again

Mary Hastings was available last minute to board our dog on New Year's Eve for a medical appointment, and we couldn't be more thankful. Our pup loves hanging out with her and always comes back tired and sleepy.

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.
