Ready to give some love to any pup!

I have taken care of all kinds of animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I am also trained with basic veterinary skills from Penn Foster in caring for dogs.

Missy and her pup Layla are great! Missy is super flexible with drop off/pick up, sent a bunch of photos and took great care of my pup. She's a great sitter!! I would book again for sure.

Missy took great care of my dog Stella while I was out of town! Stella loved playing with Missy’s dog Layla while she was there too. I would highly recommend Missy!

Missy was great! She was very communicative and responded quickly and she kept me updated by sending pics and videos, which I love! She was also super flexible when I wasn’t able to pick up on time due to traffic coming from the airport. Mishka had a blast with her and her puppy Layla ❤️

Are you looking for somebody who has a genuine soft spot for animals and a compassionate heart for the canine world? That would be Missy. As a dog mom of a tripod pup, Missy’s gentle kindness shines through as she navigates the responsibilities and care of her own precious gift named Layla. When Missy works with other pups and animals, she has an intuitive touch that is soft and controlled with firmness if needed. She has an understanding of how dogs think and what they may need and/or want. Working with animals is such a deep passion that she is seriously considering getting a certificate as vet-tech as she navigates through her life’s journey in the field of nutrition, health and performance. I highly recommend Missy for the care of other’s wonderful pup kids. She would be a. valuable asset for Rover.com! Ms. Jennifer D.

Before my dog passed she had her own spots all over my apartment. I had a big basket of toys and let her pull all of the toys out to play everyday for me to put them away at night. Three walks a day and make sure to not go outside in temperatures above 85 for her paws. Keep her to a regular feeding schedule and of course peanut butter treats!

My own dog was tripod and had a very sensitive stomach. I am used to taking care of any special needs your puppy might have to make sure they are living their happiest lives. Please let me know if they are on any special medication or have daily needs specific to them.

A typical day

I am an avid runner. Also many different dog parks to play with other dogs. Typically walked my own dog all around our neighborhood and make sure I have treats in my pocket ready.

I currently work as a dancer and fitness instructor. Which doesn't call for long hours and me being at home most of the day. I am looking to keep on my feet instead of being on a screen during my off hours and I know dogs will keep me active.
