Lover of all animals!

Pet care experience

In November, we had an unexpected and devastating loss of our beloved pit mix, Isis. She was diagnosed with lung cancer out of the blue and we lost her three days later. The hurt has kept me from pet sitting for a long time but I am back and ready to snuggle pups! **Edited to specify I will happily care for any and all animals. Cat sitting is now an option through Rover but you don’t need to worry about any pets you have. I’ve cared for everything you could imagine from dogs, cats and guinea pigs to lizards, fish and caterpillars. I’m happy to learn care skills for any animal you have. I love all dogs. Any size, age, anything. I have a calm demeanor and find that helpful when walking or housesitting a new and unsure dog, I have three dogs of my own that are my family. There is no love like the love of a dog. We are lucky to have them in our lives!! I also have two human children, Simon, 12, and London, 5. I would prefer dogs that are kid friendly but would love either. All I ask if that you let me know beforehand so I don't have my kids with me. I can't imagine a day without one of my own three dogs and please be assured that your dog will be cared for and loved as if he were my own. We will help each other with exercise and energy and then snuggle and bond. They will be happy and tired dogs upon your arrival home. We will become great friends, no doubt. I'd love to be around as many different breeds as possible. They're all wonderful to me!

For the second time, Missy has watched my dog for the weekend and I felt so at ease! She is so attentive and caring. I would recommend her to anyone I know!

Missy was simply the best. I had a couple unexpected changes come up, and she was so accommodating and helpful! I felt so confident leaving my pup with Missy. She was communicative, friendly, and so knowledgeable about dogs! I would hundred percent recommend and will definitely be using missy in the future. Thank you so much!!!!!!

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.

Information Missy W. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I would love to take brisk walks, slow walks or even jogs depending on the dogs activities. If there's a dog park or fenced in home yard, fetch or frisbee could last for hours. I usually keep at least one tennis ball in my Jeep at all times. You never know when you’ll see a dog needing to play. Belly rubs and snuggles of course.

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.
