Social worker turned dog-sitter

Pet care experience

Throughout my life, I’ve always surrounded myself with animals. Ive owned horses, dogs, and cats and also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who have endured trauma. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven’t befriended and continue to work closely with rescues and assist people in rehoming their pets. I just left my job as a social worker and am currently pursuing my MSW. I am looking for a part time gig to help get me through school, so my schedule is pretty open. :)

Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.

Hayley grew up around animals and has a special connection with them! She rescued a dog from the south and had to undo everything he knew and turn him around from being untrainable to trainable. She also had to address his behavior and work on a better temperament! Her dog moogie did a complete turnaround and is a lovely dog. In conclusion she is very energetic and would treat your dog with the utmost kindness!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a rescue dog who does not get along with other doggos (disappointing but we respect his boundaries). Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to house your doggo at my home but open to house sitting and for advance notice clients, I can have my father watch my dog for a week or so.

Information Hayley M. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference of dog or cat - open to any animal and don’t discriminate towards pets who are higher needs. I prefer a schedule or routine ahead of time so I can keep your pet at ease in their normal daily structure.

A typical day

I enjoy hiking with my doggo and going for long walks on the waterfront. I have a reactive rescue dog so I’m normally hyper vigilant when walking dogs. I’ve also enjoyed taking my friends dogs to the dog park and just basking in the sunshine outdoors.
