Availability
Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available 7 days a week for dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, which means I can follow your pet’s routine exactly — whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and fully dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for your space. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and reduce stress. During walks and visits, I make sure all doors and gates are securely closed and never leave your pet unattended outside. I keep open communication with you throughout my visits, providing updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and well-being, along with respect for your home, are my top priorities.
Information Connor M. would like to know about your pet
Before watching any pet, it's important to know key details to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. I always ask about their daily routine, favorite toys or activities, any medical needs, allergies, or behavioral quirks. It's also helpful to know how they usually react to strangers, other animals, or being alone. Understanding their feeding schedule, potty habits, and any commands they know makes it easier to keep things consistent and stress-free while you're away.
A typical day
When I’m caring for dogs, my goal is to keep them happy, active, and relaxed. A typical day includes plenty of walks tailored to their energy level, whether that’s a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a brisk game of fetch in the park. I make sure to give lots of affection and attention, and if the dog enjoys learning, I’ll spend time teaching fun tricks or practicing commands. I always pay close attention to each dog’s mood and needs to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience every time.

Dogs Are Family—Decades of Care
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Connor! What sets me apart is that I’ve been surrounded by expert-level dog care my entire life. My mom was a vet tech for over 10 years, and for the past 20, she’s been a professional dog walker, boarder, and trainer. Growing up in that environment, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s walking, boarding, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs like they’re part of the family.

Reviews
Fed dogs and let them outside for short potty breaks while we were away, one 10 minute walk during our 3 day trip, no pics/updates.
Conner stayed at my house for 5 days 4 nights. We had agreed that he would walk my dog 2x a day. As far as I can tell he never walked my dog. In addition I asked him to send me updates about my dog and he only sent me one, him and the dog laying on the bed. When I returned home my neighbors came over to tell me a few things. There were additional cars at my house so they knew there were other people visiting. The trash cans weren't brought in for 2 days when I had asked him to bring them in on the day they were put out - the day I left. He was also going to bring in the mail which he didn't do everyday. I could live with the house issues, although I'm not pleased that he brought other people into my house, but it's the issue with the dog that is the most upsetting. I reached out to Connor twice since I've been back for him to respond to these issues and he hasn't. I've also reached out to Rover with this information so they can take steps to prevent this in the future. I've had very good luck with Rover in the past but this is making me think I need to find another agency or person to stay with my dog.
Connor is a total love bug and my pets immediately warmed to him. His ability to take all my pets on, including my Australian bearded dragon, and keep them happy, made me feel confident that I would love for him to return. He stayed at my house and left it immaculate. Highly recommend this gem of a pet sitter to anyone.
Connor did an outstanding job with my puppy JJ! He’s a handful at this age. Connor took it all in stride. My boy really liked him too! When he was leaving JJ was conflicted over who to stay with. Each day when Connor came JJ was excited to see him. Speaks volumes of how well he treated my boy. Thanks Connor!!!
