Pet care experience

Aren't dogs just delightful?

I have been off and on pet sitting for a long time. I primarily watch dogs but I have also watched ducks, goats, hamsters, cats and more! I love being outdoors and I will make sure the doggos get all the exercise they need. I have my own dog who comes with me. She does best with younger dogs with a preliminary meeting in a neutral location but I also take my gate and crate with me so dogs can have a break from one another.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I follow owner instructions of care and exercise. If your dog likes to run, we go running. If your dog is a couch potato, we go on short sniffaries. My dog hates taking medication so I am expert at making sure dogs get their pills even under resistance. Have been attacked by a duck daily for four weeks straight and still kept them all happy!

Very positive experience. We were even a last minute request and she was still able to find the time to help us. Mary was very considerate of our needs, maintained clear communication, and was patient while helping us work out how to use the Rover app. Our kitties were well tended to and everything went well with her as our sitter. 10/10, fully recommended to anyone needs their animals watched.

Mary did a great job caring for my two Golden Retrievers while I was on vacation for 12 days. I returned to happy, healthy dogs!! Mary was good about communicating each day on how things were going, and sent pics and videos of my girls! I would definitely hire her again 👍

Mary has watched my cat and my five ducks on two occasions now, and both times I came home to happy and healthy animals! I appreciated her openness to work with me to care for my unconventional pets & do some light farm work, she was very communicative (sending me photos and videos of my ducks the first time I was away from them to help me feel less anxious) and checked in with me about duck care when temps got low one week this winter. The animals were all thriving upon my return and that's the only recommendation I need. I'm really glad I connected with her and will hopefully continue to work with her for future pet care. Thanks Mary!

Need to know if your dog is unfriendly with other dogs or needs any special care. I also prefer to have the dogs (mine and yours) meet ahead of time because every dog is different and I won't take a job if they don't get along reasonably in a preliminary visit.
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.
