A typical day

Walks in nature, of course. I live in the mountains, so that's a given. I'll likely bring my dogs along as well, so they can all walk and play together. I may also take them to the dog park if you’re okay with that, depending on the weather.

Pet care experience

I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well.

Mary was wonderful to Cloud! I’m so grateful she took care of her really well. She had a great time!

Very sweet and caring. She allowed us to pick up the dog during the day to walk around the dog.

Mary Kay is an absolute gem! Gentle and loving spirit, you will have no qualms about leaving your loved one with her. Very responsive and accommodating to requests. Pictures a plenty with feedback on meals, walks and general behavior. I recommend Mary Kay to anyone and everyone, especially those who are hesitant about leaving their pooch for the first time!

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.
