Safety, trust & environment

I will watch your animals in your home to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible while you are out of town. I also like to spend the majority of a meet and greet interacting with your animals so that they get as comfortable as possible with me before you head out of town.

Information Mary P. would like to know about your pet

I need to know the disposition of your animal, if it has trouble with other animals (especially if it is a dog), if there is any aggressive behavior whatsoever from your animal towards humans or other animals or certain noises, if your dog has ever and/or currently attempts to bite/attack other people or animals. I also need to know the food schedule and amount as well as any medications the animal may take. I want to make sure that your baby stays safe and well taken care of.

A typical day

A typical day for me includes long walks (I like going for at least 1-2 mile walks when possible and if the dog is able to do that). I love playing fetch with dogs. Cats I will usually lounge around with until they feel comfortable to come sit with me and pet them.

Mary has watched our cats before and kept then happy over a few day drop in visits.

Mary was great with our two dogs. We had a last minute dog sitter cancellation, and she came to our rescue. One of our dogs is a recent rescue adoption, so she (the dog) has some quirks that we are working out. Mary was very patient with them, and our dogs really loved having her around.

Mary was very efficient in completing everything we asked her to do, and she took long walks with our high-energy dog, which was essential in keeping her stress low while we were away. She paid close attention to both our cat’s and dog’s behavior and was able to tell when they started warming up to her. Thank you, Mary!

Mary stayed at our house while we were away for the holidays. She was communicative and seemed to really enjoy hanging with our pup Georgia!

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.
