Pet care experience

Cherish.Love.Respect fur family

I have nine years of professional dog sitting care experience. But I have been dog sitting family and friends dogs for much longer. Through the years I have cared for dogs of all ages. I began my dog sitting career caring for two elderly pups with anxiety and trauma backgrounds, so medication and diapers were a regular part of their care. Since then I have cared for high energy puppies, middle age pups with health concerns, and young at heart elderly dogs with regular medication. I have another career that allows me to work from home so I can stay with your sweet dog throughout the day. I also do doggy daycare in your home, spending quality time with your dog if you are needing to be gone long hours. Unfortunately I do not care for cats, dogs with aggressive tendencies, or dog-sit in my own home. Also I do not take dogs to dog parks unless there is a long built relationship and trust. I require a meet and greet at the home before time of service to make sure that everyone/dog feels safe and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not provide pet care in my home. So while dog sitting in your home I provide the same care you would provide if you were home with your fur family member. One of the things I appreciate about dog sitting, is it allows dogs to stay in their own safe environment and routine, keeping them healthy and happy. For doggy daycare, I provide time of play, walks if needed, and hopefully lots of snuggles.

I can't say enough about the care and love my dog Dasher receives with Missy. I feel assured that Dasher is left in good hands. She is very friendly and a great communicator and kept me updated on everything. Dasher cannot wait for her next visit!
