Pet care experience

Please read the entire profile. I did grow up with a Dalmatian dog. My dad was a firefighter, and came home with Pepper Christmas morning. My sister had a mini goldendoodle. I would stop daily after work around 3:45pm to play and take walks. I took a separation package from my employer 5/1/25 and now would like to offer walks, daycare, drop in visits and boarding . With boarding, For larger dogs, they WILL be crated at night. Your dog will be crated when I play pickleball in the mornings. I do have a crate(s). Please note if sending a request there may be a delay in responding due to pickleball between 9:30 - 12:30 approximate times. I currently have two dog walking appointments from 11:45am -1:45pm Monday-Thursday.

Amazing help with our baby girl Luna. Luna is very touchy and not a fan of strangers, but I know she enjoys her time with Mary very much! Thank you for being a huge help for our family! Luna ♥️s you!

Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!

Mary is a very loving caregiver for dogs and was my dog's (Bria) favorite human! She was the only person we trusted to leave Bria with and Bria loved to spend time with her. As Bria aged, Mary was attentive to her changing needs and kept me abreast of changes in her eating and activity level. I would recommend Mary.

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.
