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. The type of care I can provide is pet-sitting. It is important to me that your dog feel as comfortable as possible in your absence, and I feel that keeping them in a place with which they are familiar is key. This also allows you as the owner to come straight home after your travels as opposed to making additional stops before heading home. I have reliable transportation and the care and well-being of your dog will be my top priority! I look forward to speaking with you!

Mary did a great job caring for our dog for the weekend. Our dog appeared to be very comfortable under her care. She was punctual and followed our directions thoroughly. Mary is also very responsive during her stay and let us know how our dog was doing on a daily basis. Thank you Mary!
