Pet care experience

Lover of all animals!

After a brief hiatus due to life and losses, I’m back and ready to snuggle your fur (and non fur) babies! I have two dogs of my own that are still my babies, despite them being 10 and 14. We’re lucky to have them in our lives!! I have two human kids, ages 18 & 11. This past spring, we adopted a curly hair tarantula. I’m happy to care for any and all animals. I’ve cared for everything you could imagine from common pets to lizards, caterpillars, and the occasional orphaned wildlife. I’m wiling to learn any skills for any animal you have. I’m comfortable giving meds, including subQ fluids, if ever necessary. You can be assured that your pets will be cared for and loved as if they were my own. We will help each other get exercise and energy out, then snuggle and bond. They’re sure to be happy (and hopefully tired) upon your arrival home. We’ll become great friends, no doubt!

Safety, trust & environment

I am vigilant about leashes and watching for any possible escapees anytime doors are opened. Slow walks, jogs, playing fetch, or just being bums and snuggling. I'm happy to do whatever makes your fur babes happy. I always try to keep their schedules and environment similar to what they are used to. My goal is to have them as happy and comfortable with me as they are with you.

Missy is great with Bella. She treats her like one of her own.

Missy was great! Thunderstorms rolled in and she made sure Bella had her calming treats ahead of time so she was calm❤️. Bella got lots of love while we were gone.

I can’t say enough good things about Missy and how well she took care of our sweet frenchie girls. She really went above and beyond and was really so caring with them. I was worried about leaving them for the first time with someone who wasn’t family but I ended up not worrying at all. She came a few times (before our trip) to meet them so they were comfortable with her. She kept in touch with photos and comments on how they were doing and that was really reassuring. She very much cares about animals and it really shows. I just can’t say enough good things. I highly recommend her for anyone.

Missy was amazing with our pup. She was attentive and affectionate, even made her homemade toys.

Missy was wonderful with my shy boy! She was great at communication and worked hard to make sure he was not sad while I was away. He actually looked a little disappointed that it was me when I returned he had such a good time with her! :)

I'm a mom with two school age kids and also attend college. Stopping to see animals during my day is a joy. Overnight stays at your home work great. Some pets like to help me with my homework. I also rehab wildlife so I rarely have a day that I'm not caring for more than just our two dogs.

How well they do with new people. What I should watch for. Are there certain things that trigger nervous behavior? Anything that will calm them and warm them up to me. Best way to approach them. Favorite toy. Commands they know (down/off, crate/bed, etc. dogs have different commands so that is helpful). Any toys they may be possessive of and should leave alone.
