Safety, trust & environment

I have a 4 acre yard including a large fenced in area and also a smaller kennel area if needed for outside animals. Inside animals are welcome as I have an extra room with bedding, toys, leashes, and crates. If your animal does not use a crate for sleep that is fine also. They can sleep on their bed or pillow in the common area.

Information Mary S. would like to know about your pet

I am always open to special needs and instructions for each animal given care in my home. Whether diet, exercise, potty breaks, sleep time just let me know how you want your baby attended to. One thing I do ask is if you have an inside pet, please bathe them before dropping them off if they are staying multiple days or overnight.

A typical day

I enjoy being outside so your dog will definitely have plenty of play and exercise time. We live in a rural area so the dogs always enjoy exploring the sounds and smells of the country life.

Nash had a fabulous time with Mary, and I received lots of pictures of Nash enjoying being outside and comfy on his bed in her home. I know Nash had a blast and didn’t want to leave. 10/10 recommend :)

Mary (Alicia) was all I could have hoped for and more!! She was kind not only to my dogs, but to me as well. She felt more like a friend watching my babies than someone I just met. I would recommend her to any and all that are looking for a pet sitter!

She was very flexible in coming over to see Donna to let her out while we were at work. Donna very much appreciated getting lots of pets and some treats from Mary S., we would definitely have her come by again!

Mary is an amazing dogsitter! Took great care of our dog and even let him meet new animal friends like cows, horses, and an ostrich. He came home happy. Highly recommend!

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.
