Teacher and dog lover
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm 32 years old and came to Athens to obtain a masters degree in 2018. I joined Rover because I LOVE animals and was hoping to make a little extra money to help pay the bills and feed my pup, Penny. I've had animals my whole life, except the 4 years in undergrad when I was stuck in a dorm. I wish Rover existed then! I adopted Penny the summer after I graduated and have loved being her mom ever since! Recently, my partner and I adopted a kitten who is now a rambunctious one year old. I've dog/cat- sat for friends just for the joy of it. I will happily love on your animals too, whether with walks, trips to the park, or playing at your house. Animals are drawn to me, probably because I am drawn to them! So much better than people! This summer, I’m working full time but want to offer services in case people are in need. I work 5 days a week (off Thursday/Sunday typically) from 8-4:30, but I’d be happy to try to care for your fur babies around these times. I was recently blessed with a new teaching job which begins in mid August. Looking ahead, I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to offer Rover services once I’m fully engaged in the school schedule. I’m open to talking about it though! Shoot me a message and we can talk about arrangements. Thanks for considering me!
Reviews
Mary was absolutely wonderful! I felt so nervous about leaving my pups, but as soon as I met her, my dogs immediately loved her. She absolutely spoiled them and took great care of them. She sent me pictures and updates frequently. Will definitely use again for check-ins while I am in town! Highly recommended!
Mary did a fantastic job caring for Remmy while I was gone for the weekend. Even though I contacted her last minute, she went above and beyond her care for my pup!! 10/10 — FANTASTIC dog sitter
Mary was so great with my 2 pups. She sends lots of photos and updates which was reassuring as my first time using the app. I also had an unexpected last minute schedule change so Mary modified my reservation on her end so I wouldn't be charged extra, which was super nice. I'd definitely use her again, I felt really comfortable that my dogs were in good hands.
Mary is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever used. It is very evident that Mary truly loves dogs and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Highly reccomended.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m not currently accepting boarding clients, but I’m happy to come stay at your residence. Whatever rules/standards you have, I will comply. Also, if your pet gets dirty on our adventures, I will be sure to clean them up. I will also take care of any accidents they might have while you are away.
Information Mary R. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to care for any animal if we are both comfortable with their needs and tendencies. Any information you can give about their personality is greatly appreciated.
A typical day
I am very active and love spending time outdoors. Fortunately, so do most dogs! Depending on what you’re comfortable with, we can explore the neighborhood or hop in the car to go to the bike path, local trails, or my favorite- swimming at Strouds!
