Pet care experience

Your caring, dependable dog buddy

I've had dogs, cats, birds and taken care of dogs most of my life since I was a child. I've done some pet-sitting for friends before I've done it here. Right now, I miss having my own dog and this is the next best thing. Dogs respond to my voice very well. Even stranger's dogs seem to greet me like an old friend.

Mary took good care of my dog during a week of rain and thunderstorms. She was attentive to his needs and continued with walks despite poor weather. She is a good communicator.

We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.

Mary is a very conscientious sitter and provided good care of my dogs and home. She made two trips prior to sitting to get to know my dogs specific needs for their first extended overnight stay. Mary communicated questions or concerns with me and clearly was interested in their well being. Leaving detailed instructions and routines is important to her good care.

Mary took great care of my home and 16 year old cat while I was out of town. This was my first time using Rover and I was very impressed by Mary's prompt reply to my request and she completely put me ease during the meet and greet. My cat was very well taken care of and the house was just as it was when I had left it. I highly recommend Mary and I would absolutely hire her again in the future!

The information is important to know about a dog ahead of time. For instance, do they have any impairments with sight or walking? Do they have hip issues (hip dysplasia) or incontinence? I like to know how to assist them so they don't feel disadvantaged.
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.
