I work from home and set my own hours so can usually adjust my schedule to squeeze in a few walks with some fabulous fur friends - nothing makes me happier than leaving work meetings to get offline with a furry friend.

Safety, trust & environment

Tell me what is important to you - what is their regular daily routine? Sleep schedule, timing of breaks and/or walks - and also any special rituals around feeding, bedtime or leaving them behind. Should I fear for my shoes? Make sure to close the toilet lid? More detail is better for me so I can make sure they aren't thrown off their schedule and missing their humans any more than they already do. Willing to flex to keep to your pup's schedule as much as I can.

Information Mary K R. would like to know about your pet

What is your stance on treats? (asking for a friend) Should I be on the look out for squirrels or birds to braced for a lunge in that direction? When another dog is in sight should we avoid contact? Are there any rules or training goals I can help reinforce?

A typical day

Getting out for walks and exploring the neighborhood is my jam, but rarely will I back down from a few rounds of fetch or tug-of-war. I'm not all fun and games though - I'm absolutely in for chilling out on the couch for snuggles. (or on the floor if the couch is off limits)

Mary was great! She did 3 drop in visits a day for a week when I was traveling. She always sent updates with pictures. I felt very comfortable that my dog was getting everything she needed. When I got home, my dog was happy and healthy. The house was just the way I left it. I highly recommend Mary! I’ll hire her again when I travel.

Mary was great, she wanted to know the way I work with my dog so Mary could continue that training. She was gentle and reinforced the skills I’m teaching my dog. I’ll work with the her again for sure!

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.
