Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my entire life- I am very comfortable interacting with any type of breed. I have helped to raise seeing guide dogs since I was 8 years old. I have learned patience and compassion are the two most important things when interacting with any animal. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs- or just making sure water bowls are filled and food/medication is administered. I can check in on cats (and rabbits!) any time. Pets are such wonderful friends and companions, and I understand the special close-knit bond that exists between a family and their beloved friend. I will care for your pet as if they were my own.

We absolutely loved having MaryEllen walk Kira while we were out of town! She was super responsive and gave detailed updates (with lots of photos!) after each visit. And Kira told us to give MaryEllen two paws UP as well!! We'd definitely rebook with MaryEllen in the future.

Has taken such great care of our kitty! MaryEllen even added on a few extra days of visits when we started to suffer from long distance pet guilt! She’s easy to work with and communicates so well about how our cat is doing.

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.
