Former Veterinary Professional!

Pet care experience

***Pricing and scheduling can be negotiable, please reach out with questions*** My name is Mason, and I am a former veterinary professional. Over 10 years, I have cared for a variety of pets, including both domestic and exotic. For about 7 years, I have worked in a variety of animal care settings. Through this experience, I can set myself apart from other sitters in my knowledge regarding animal behavior and health. I am comfortable with most species, ages, abilities, sexes, etc. I am very comfortable with administering medicine, first aid/CPR, and providing context and information so that you can make an informed decision about emergency care.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mason. I have a very old, special needs Pomeranian who takes meds for blood pressure and seizures, has to be carried outside to go to the bathroom, and is blind. She is the sweetest girl but very skittish with new people. Mason does great with her! We also have a chihuahua who loves cuddling with Mason. Mason takes photos and does a write up for each visit. It is so helpful and wonderful. They are worth every penny and I cannot recommend them enough! Rosie and Shadow thank you Mason!

Mason is a great dog sitter. Our dog Ringo loves their time together. She is conscientious and reliable. She regularly posts pictures and updates. It makes it easier to leave town knowing that Mason is looking after our house and taking care of our dog. Thank you Mason.

I am happy to reasonably accommodate my pricing or services to tailor you and your pet's needs. Money is hard to come by, send me a message and we can try to work something out. Please recognize some of the things that factor into my rate and things I can provide to you and your pet: Travel, Enrichment, Experience, Grooming, Cleaning, Special Requests I ask that we also maintain some mutual trust and respect between each other. I recognize that I am taking care of your loved one and am willing to hold space for conflict, communication, and clarification. I ask that you extend the same grace to me in our interactions and that we move together in good faith.

Information Mason M. would like to know about your pet

I like to have some general information to ensure the safety of your pet, as well as myself. I gather most of this at the Meet and Greet, but please share anything that you find important, down to their favorite spots to be scratched. Here are some things to get you thinking: Disabilities + Health Concerns, Feeding and Medication Instructions, Veterinary Preferences, Resources Required for Care, Emergency Contact, House Rules + Expectations

A typical day

I like to meet pets where they are at! Some need some time to warm up to me and others are struggling to contain their excitement. I like to get creative in the ways I can enrich animals in my care from DIY enrichment toys and activities to walks to cuddles on the couch to setting up independent enrichment.

Rover is my primary form of income, which means that I am often juggling many clients throughout my day. I am paid a flat fee per night for housesitting, a price that includes walks, pottying, feeding, and enrichment throughout the day. I will spend time with your pets as they are my priority, and I will also hold space for other clients, my personal life, and emergencies. Of course, different pets need different things, and this is something that we would discuss further before booking!
