Animal lover experienced in rescue!

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner since birth; and a love for animals has always been in me. I am the proud owner of rescued chihuahuas, rabbits, and cats. I foster rescue dogs and volunteer in rescue. My experience in rescue has added to my compassion for all animals. The knowledge and resources I have gained by being in the rescue world has enabled me to become a better pet owner and animal advocate. These qualities will help me to provide the absolute best care for your pet. I work full time as a teacher, leaving my summers, school breaks, and weekends available with extra time to help out as a pet sitter. As a single mother with a medically complicated kid, the money we make working together taking care of your dogs helps us pay medical bills. This also provides and opportunity for my teenage son to get some work experience in the field he loves and enjoys. My animal-friendly and compassionate sixteen-year-old son and I are more than happy to come to your home for playtime, walks, potty relief, feeding, cuddles, and etc. when you cannot be there for your four paw loved one(s).

This is the second time Missy watched our kitties. I loved the daily updates. She was always on time and took great photos. She was good at understanding our two cats have different personalities. The grumpy cat liked to be left alone and Missy respected it. The playful kitty enjoyed having someone come by and give affection and play while we were out of town. 10/10 service.

Missy was such a good sitter. She checked in once a day to feed my two cats and make sure they had plenty of water. I really enjoyed reading the rover card reports from her. It sounds like our cats were a little apprehensive at first, but at least one warmed up to her during our vacation. We loved seeing all the pictures from her while we were gone. It gave us a real peace of mind to have someone super nice and comfortable with cats taking care of the girls. I looked forward to each day's check in and photos. When we take another vacation, I look forward to Missy watching our kitties again.

Missy is a very caring nurturing and loving person. She is great with the dogs and completely trustworthy. Anyone using her services would be truly lucky and their pet would be in very capable and loving hands. I have entrusted her many times with my for baby and never had to worry.
