"Gives too many treats"-My dogs vet

As someone who has an unhealthy obsession with her own dog, I understand how important it is to know your dog is being taken care of while you're gone. I have spent a ton of time scouring Rover and going to meet and greets trying to find the right person for my needs and finally decided that I'd help do my part to make the search easier for others in my shoes by opening my home in West End to pups while their parents are away! Being raised with dogs, bunnies, birds, and even a chinchilla, animals have always played an important role in my life. I started my own neighborhood dog walking/boarding business when I was 11 (charging a whopping $1/walk - sorry to say my rates have increased 😉) and then became an official Furry Godmother after college to earn some extra cash to help me pay off student loans. *Guaranteed to spam you with tons of photos of your dog while you're away or your money back. 📸 I'm currently working full-time from my home in West End so I have a very flexible schedule. Typically it includes a quick walk in the morning and over lunch with a longer walk or trip to the dog park after work, but my schedule can always be adapted to meet the needs of your pup. I have a fenced-in porch that my dog loves to sunbathe on and I'm sure yours will too! My dog is free-roaming (RIP to my new couch), but is crated at night. She's super easygoing and loves other dogs. Happy to crate yours, let them roam free, or a mixture of both. Whatever you and your dog need to feel comfortable in my home can be done.

Mary is super communicative and sends many pictures to keep you updated. I know my pup was in great hands and he loved staying with her and Olive!

Mary was so sweet, responsive and provided frequent updates. She made booking, pick up and drop off so easy! She treated my pup as it was her own and so appreciate that.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 21, 2023

5 stars isn't enough! Mary is a special soul - this is evident the moment you meet her. Mary was beyond communicative and kind, and took amazing care of our little Frankie. The photos and updates were thorough, timely, and provided us with confidence that he was being cared for in an extraordinary way. Mary's dog Olive is a doll ... and the two of them are gems. We are so happy to know these two and can't wait for the opportunity to connect again.

I like to know if animals have any anxiety (and how to calm them), any quirks, any aggression (towards people or other animals), how they like to eat, what they eat, what toys they enjoy, and where they sleep. Give me all the deets.
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.
