Dedicated & compassionate care

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a huge animal lover & have owned cats, ferrets, a mouse, guinea pigs, a cockatiel & dogs over the years. I especially have a lot of experience w snow dogs & recognize the need for adequate exercise for the safety of the house and all objects dwellings inside it 🤪 I have done many drop ins & walks for pets of friend's & family. I will provide dedicated & compassionate care for any furry friend. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. For walks, I offer an hour hike on our beautiful, local trails for your pup to get a good work out while enjoying the scents & sights of the woods. I have experience w big dogs as well reactive dogs. For reactive dogs, I offer walks in secluded areas where there’s less of a chance for unwanted encounters.

Mary is great! She worked with us to do a meet and greet prior and also accommodated our schedule when our plans changed for the day that we booked. Her response time is quick and updates (including lots of pictures!) gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be using her services again 😄

Mary really made an effort to connect with Bubba so that he wasn’t so lonely while I was gone. She sent me lots of wonderful photos and kept me up-to-date on everything that was going on. I will definitely be using her services again.

Mary did a great job with my cat Bubba. She visited during the preferred time slot, completed all of the care-taking tasks and provided me an update each day. I would definitely have her take care of Bubba again.

Mary is amazing! We have had her check in in our cats a few times now and she always keeps us up to date on their status, even when they may not come out and say hi. Absolutely recommend having her check in on your pets!

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.
