Pet care experience

Treating your fur baby like family

I've loved dogs since I was a teenager, dog-sitting for friends in the military community. After active duty I got my own dog immediately — it had to be a Vizsla! Now I have a chihuahua and appreciate the uniquness of each breed. I hold a Master's degree in Integrative Health Sciences and bring that same attentiveness and care to every animal in my home. I treat each dog as the unique individual they are, learning their personality, preferences, and quirks. Your fur baby won't just be watched — they'll be genuinely cared for.

This was my first booking with Rover and fortunately I made a good selection with Mary. Mary maintained consistent communication with me during my trip and provided my pup with good walks and remained engaged in dealing with her feeding issues. She also was accommodating with my instructions and genuinely seems to really care about the dogs in her home, including mine. I highly recommend Mary and will book with her again in the future.

Mary is always the best! We have been booing with her consistently for about 2 years and we really appreciate all she does!

Mary has taken wonderful care of my dog twice now. My dog had come back extremely happy and in great spirits. Mary’s awesome!

Mary was fantastic with our boy. We loved getting photos and updates during his stay. She took him for walks and to the dog park. He was very happy when we picked him up and we would recommend Mary to anyone!

Mary was incredible with our dog teddy! She took time to send daily updates and pictures. We had to pick him up a little later than our scheduled time and she was so flexible. Will 100% book with her again

A typical day

I love to walk and experience the world with dogs. It is fun to exercise together and meet new people and dogs along the way! I also enjoy playing tug of war or fetch. I also love cuddling and petting dogs, which is relaxing for both parties!

I always like to know how the owner would like me to interact with their dog—for example, knowing if the dog is treat-oriented and the overall temperament is great. My first dog did not get along with other dogs, so I had to be extremely cautious on walks. It is helpful to know how your dog interacts with others. I can take larger dogs if they are a good fit for my chihuahua mix and any other Rover dogs that might overlap.
