Pet care experience

Let me take care of your baby

I have owned and cared for pets all my life. Animals love me and respond to my care and touch. I love my fur babies more than anything in the world so I can relate to how important your pet is to you. I am good with all animals of all ages and can give medication if needed. You never know what you’ll get with a cat, which makes them so fun and interesting. Our two cats bring me lots of laughter and joy. Our new pup Otter is full of energy and love. I love to go for walks with dogs or just play with them at your home. I’m a very responsible former elementary teacher which makes me very reliable, caring, and efficient. It will be a pleasure to meet you and to care for your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I can take care of your cat in your home. I can also do drop in visits with your dog and walk in your neighborhood or put them in my vehicle to take them to the park , beach or trail if you prefer. I also have Rover take care of my pets so I know how important it is to be able to trust someone in your home. I require a meet and greet with you and your pets before a booking to make sure we all feel comfortable with each other.

House Sitting • May 31, 2025

This was our first time using Rover, and first time leaving our two dogs with anyone other than family. Mary was at our house for a meet and greet with the pups well in advance of our 5-day, 4-night trip, and it was an obvious great connection from the first minute. She came back several days before our departure for a run-through of the house and dogs routine, which was very much appreciated. Mary was communicative (many photos and texts while we were away), professional and personable - just what we were hoping for when contacting Rover. We would not hesitate to have Mary at our home and taking great care of our two dogs in the future, and are already planning the next trip!

Mary was fantastic with my dogs and very responsive. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would personally ask her to watch my dogs again in the future.

Mary has stayed in our home and taken care of Millie twice now and we couldn’t be more happy with her care of both!

Every pet has a unique personality. Please let me know their preferences and or quirks and I will adapt and adjust to them. My goal is to safely take care of and or exercise your special friend.
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.
