Animals fill my heart

Mary Beth did a wonderful job with our senior dog. She gave home the personal time and attention he needs.

We were so happy with the care our cats, Cooper and Poppy, received! She was reliable, sent great updates and photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Mary watches my Billie every time I go out of town. She sends pictures, updates, and I always feel confident that Billie is getting love and attention. You can tell that she genuinely loves animals. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a teacher who is on summer break. I am free to fill in my days with helping out others and having extra animal loving!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to discuss needs with pet parents and adapt as requested. My baseline care is to lead with love, and listen to the animal to pick up on their cues. I understand when to give love, and when to take a step back and give space.

Pets

A typical day

I take my cues from the animals themselves and I enjoy playing fetch, tug of war, find the toy and other games of their choosing. One of my favorite games to play with my own dog is "find the squeaky donut". She likes to try and peek to see where I hide it, but she doesn't really need to since she always finds it. My cat likes to try and catch things so we play with any type of string or toy that I can move and he can chase.

I like to know what an animal's personality is like so we can start off on a positive note. I also would like to know if they have any special needs while feeding, walking or playing.
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.
