Flexible Teacher Summer Schedule!

Pet care experience

Starting at age 12, I was the go-to neighborhood kid for all things pet-sitting! I used to even tell people that my dream job was to become a Professional Dog Walker - long before Rover ever existed! My family has had dogs my entire life, and I’ve had my own rescue dog, Ozzie, for 5 years now. Ozzie is getting into his golden years which has affected his anxiety levels a bit, so I’m familiar with caring for senior and nervous pups. Additionally, I’m also familiar with cats, having two of my own, Suki and Wednesday. Whether they want to hang out like Suki or avoid humans at all costs like Wednesday, I’d love to hang out with you furry feline friends as well!

Missy was wonderful with our two senior cats. She left detailed notes about each visit and took extra time to give them attention during the drop ins. She was reliable and showed up around the same time each day. She was tidy and offered to help with a couple things around the house too. Will definitely book again!

Missy is so accommodating and did great with my cat! She did an excellent job and gave great updates. Super friendly, very good at figuring out just what you need for your pets.

Missy did a great job taking care of my kitties for a few days! She really tried to get my semiferal cat to eat even though I knew she would hide and be on a hunger strike!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all pets as if they are my own! I know that every pet has their own unique set of needs, so I listen to the pet owners when it comes to their furry friends. I always get to know how often pets should be let out, fed, played with, etc. Does your dog like to play fetch in the yard or cuddle up on the couch? Does your kitten want to chase the laser pointer or sneak in cabinets? I can’t wait to find out!

Information Missy S. would like to know about your pet

All pets are unique, so in order to best take care of them, I would like to know those unique needs! Is your pet social with other humans, pets, and creatures? Do they like treats or are they on a special diet? Are there any tricks or toys they enjoy? What’s the best way to bond with your pet? I can’t wait to find out more!

A typical day

I love a good walk, but I know pets need more than just that! Whether it’s running around in the backyard playing fetch or trying to get the kibble out of a doggy-puzzle, your animals will be getting their physical and mental workouts! The Springs is home to some beautiful walks, and with the pet owners OK, I love taking walks to explore the local areas.
