Experienced & trustworthy pet sitter, Your peace of mind is my priority

About this sitter

I have been on Trusted Housesitters for 2 years and have over 30 five star reviews. I can forward my info to you from there if you want. I genuinely love caring for animals and have spent years owning and looking after a variety of pets. They tend to warm up to me quickly—back when I worked as a real estate photographer, it wasn’t uncommon for pets to follow me from room to room while I worked!

Along with pet care, I bring a strong sense of responsibility when it comes to your home. Having owned several homes myself, I’m comfortable handling basic upkeep and understand the importance of keeping a space clean, organized, and well cared for. I also enjoy gardening and am happy to tend to plants as needed.

As a photographer, I love capturing candid moments of the pets I care for and sharing those photos with their owners—it’s a fun way to help you feel connected while you’re away. I’m a non-smoker, very neat and tidy, and I’ll treat both your pets and your home with the utmost care and respect.

Thank you,
Mary Rodvold

Why they want to house sit

I love animals and taking care of them. I enjoy staying in someone's home because it makes me feel more at home when I am so far away. I enjoy traveling throughout Europe and getting a feel for real life in a neighborhood rather than a touristy area.

What can they bring to the assignment

Lots of experience and I always take care of a home as if it were my own. I have owned a few homes in my time and are familiar with the inner workings of a home in case something needs to be taken care of while you are away. I also enjoy gardening. I have cared for animals with special needs and diets.
