Safety, trust & environment

I will be sure to communicate with you to ensure your expectations for drop in visits or house sitting are fully met. I’m here for any special care requests. I’ll check in after each drop-in session with plenty of photos of your pet and a rundown on the visit. I typically provide two updates mid-morning and evening each day while house sitting. I always include detailed information about your pet’s activity and behavior, along with lots of photos and videos documenting the day. However, I am happy to provide updates at your preferred frequency. I am always available and responsive during visits should you have any questions or requests.

Information Hayley M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behavior I should keep an eye out for. I’m happy to meet with you and your pet prior to the visit to ensure a positive experience.

A typical day

I strive to stimulate pets both mentally and physically. That may be a treat mat, an energetic play session, or varied walking routes to encounter new sights and smells. The type of play should be suited to your pet’s needs and comfort level. Let me know if your pet has a favorite toy or activity.

Communication is key!

Pet care experience

I’m a licensed attorney and an animal lover at heart. I grew up surrounded by animals, in a home with a dog and four cats. I frequently care for my neighbor and friends’ pets when they are out of town, and have two cats of my own. I also have 3 years of volunteer experience at a no-kill animal shelter, and am comfortable giving medications and handling any special health or behavioral needs. I have experience caring for dogs that require frequent potty breaks due to age or medical condition; as well as those with Arthritis, recovering injuries, or other mobility concerns. Similarly, I have cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical vulnerabilities (seizures, kidney disease, cancer, incontinence issues). I have also worked with former ferals, and am happy to care for those who may be especially shy or anxious around unfamiliar faces and disrupted routines. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust look after your pet. I value reliability and communication, and strive to provide the upmost care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

Hayley was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have been more happy with her caring for my dogs ! This was the first time that I had anyone stay in my home and care for my dogs. Mia and Dot were in great hands while I was gone and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Hayley !!

Hayley is fantastic! She provided personalized care to each of my pups during her drop ins, and gave them both the attention and affection that they needed. She was communicative and flexible when my schedule needed modifications. I will definitely be booking with Hayley again in the future!

Hayley was great with my 3 dogs! She sent photos and communicated daily, which is great for peace of mind while im traveling. She watered my veggie garden as well, which was much appreciated! And I came back to a clean house! I will definitely be using her again in the future and recommend her to others!

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.
