Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

Information Mary R. would like to know about your pet

Before our first visit, I’d love to know about your pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, medications, triggers, and any special instructions. The more I know beforehand, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for your pet.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor each visit to their needs and personality. That may include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, potty breaks, meals, medication administration, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is to keep your pet active, comfortable, and engaged while maintaining their normal routine.

Trusted Pet Care Since 2017 🐶🐾🐱

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs.

Mary was great with our babies!! She even endured a little mess and did not hesitate to reach out and make sure everything was good! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to have someone watch their fur babies.

I was watching my sisters dog while she was out of town and found Mary to come walk him while I was at work for the weekend. She was very responsive and I know Theo enjoyed seeing and meeting a new friend! She sent pictures of him everytime and I know he loved getting to walk with her! We appreciate Mary and her helpfulness and if I need another play date for Theo then Mary will certainly be my go to!
