Pet care experience

Roll out the red carpet for paws!

As someone who grew up always having dogs, I came to appreciate their companionship and playfulness and how they are family. My friends' dogs are often intuitively drawn to me.

Maurice took such great care of my dog for the weekend! He was very attentive to her needs and made sure she got plenty of exercise and play! She came back relaxed and happy! Highly recommend and will book again.

Maurice was great with my old dog. Very communicative and caring over a holiday weekend and shared a bunch of updates. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

Maurice has helped me with my two senior cats, and they are both big fans of his. He grows cat grass for the hermit cat who loves greens; and he sneaks him his favorite, roasted asparagus. My hermit cat stayed a week at Maurice’s while I was out of town, and Maurice impressively followed lots of detailed care instructions. My other cat is friendly and adventurous. Maurice has walked him outside on a leash and harness, and has been the recipient of many cat snuggles and sand paper tongue kisses. My friendly cat is a little extra friendly towards Maurice, and always rushes to greet him when he sees him.

Schedule

I do not work on the weekends and only see one client via telehealth on Wednesday, so I have lots of flexibility and time for walks.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether you are a local needing a date night or a visitor exploring our mountains and breweries, I’m here to ensure your pup has a vacation just as exciting as yours. My goal is to be the 'fun uncle' who spoils them with affection, safe adventures, and all the belly rubs they can handle. From high-energy hikers to professional couch potatoes, I tailor my care to match your pet's unique vibe. You can enjoy the Blue Ridge worry-free, knowing your best friend is getting five-star treatment (and probably a few extra treats). Let's connect and get your tail-wagger booked for their own little getaway.

A typical day

I live less than 2 miles from the Warren Wilson College trails, so walks in the forest feel like they are just outside my doorstep.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that you would like support for. As a licensed clinical social worker, I know the importance of paying attention to subtleties, such as licking their nose as a sign of stress.
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.
