Availability

I am currently on a career break and therefore can provide nearly 24/7 companionship for your dogs! The only times I would be away would be to run small errands. However, as I'm in the spirit of slowly traveling the world, my calendar will reflect limited availability throughout the year.

I like to let our dog visitors live out their lives as if they were in their own homes. As a sitter, I will always adhere to your pet instructions and am attentive to your pet's behavior and needs. In the case of an unexpected incident, I make sure to keep owners well-informed on the health and well-being of their pet. You can expect at least one daily update with plenty of photos!

Information Mary M. would like to know about your pet

I can only accept friendly and potty-trained dogs. Please let me know of any specific care instructions for your pet. I have plenty of dog beds, toys, doggy bags, and bowls, so would only need your dog's food, special treats if they have some dietary restriction to some snacks that I may have at home, any medicine/tools to facilitate care, and anything else you think your dog may miss during their staycation. Thank you!

A typical day

Theodore Roosevelt Park next to the Natural History Museum is our go-to. It is very safe, has lots of good sniffing, and is just a block away from our home. They also have a dog park in the neighborhood, but I will not bring your dogs there unless you would like me to and I feel that there is low risk for your pup. At home, your dogs will have a number of beds and toys to pick and choose from.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a long-time animal lover with a sweet little dog named Lucy. We welcome any friendly and potty-trained dogs! I've been an on-and-off dog sitter on Rover for about 4 years during my time in Chicago and am excited to get back into pet care for my UWS community. I only accept one client at a time, so rest assured your dog has my undivided attention. Our favorite walking spots are Theodore Roosevelt Park and Central Park :) I have some experience in administering prescribed medicine for pets and assisting elderly/special needs pets, so please let me know how I can best take care of your dog. If you have any concerns about the compatibility of your dog to me and my dog Lucy, I'd love to arrange a meet-up to see if we would be a good fit. Please feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns!

Oscar had a great stay. Mary was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring with him. Oscar came home happy and comfortable, and I really appreciated the amount of time and individualized attention she gave him.

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.
