Safety, trust & environment

Please me know if your pet has any special needs or behavioral considerations. I am happy to accommodate to the best of my ability. I do not have a breed, size, or personality preference.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks, and try to prioritize off-leash time when and where appropriate. I am a hiker and runner, and happy to run/hike with your dog! When we're not on the move, fetch, frisbee, tug-of-war, and cuddles are all favorites. For kitties I am all about building trust, playing, physical affection, and providing company.

Starting to get jealous. Our dog walks better with Mary than us. 🤣

This is the third or fourth time we’ve booked Mary Rose and she’s been wonderful each time. She’s very responsive, accommodating, sends great pictures, and treats our cat really well. We’re never worried when we leave him with her and appreciate everything she does to keep our little guy safe and happy. 11/10 recommend her!

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.
