I am happiest around dogs!

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years of experience experience with dogs of all kinds as well as many other animals. My family raised American Staffordshire terriers for many years and trained them for dog pulling competitions, I was raised with great respect for dogs. As such I am very good with large breeds and also powerful dogs. I learned to groom dogs from my mother and delt with many different breeds because of this. I worked in law enforcement for 3 years and was able to meet and work with some amazing dogs in that time. I am willing and able to do whatever necessary for specific clients needs to ensure their dogs happiness and well-being while they are in my professional care and home.

Misti has lovingly cared for our chiweenie for over 4 years. She absolutely loves animals & it shines through in every aspect of her caregiving. I would highly recommend Misti for daily, weekly and extended caregiving.

We had a great experience with Misti as our sitter! We’ve never used Rover before so we were a bit nervous but with the love that Misti shared caring for our fur babies, left us feeling relieved and satisfied knowing that they were both in good hands. We received video and picture while we were gone, and that made us both super happy. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Misti. Abby and Mia already miss you.

I had a wonderful experience with Misti when she took care of our dogs so naturally, I rebooked her to care for my cat for about 2 weeks. Everything seemed fine, she offered to drop by for any packages that were being delivered for us. I was unable to come home on the day I planned so Misti dropped in for us one last time, I offered to pay her but she declined. When I got home, my cats litter box was insanely full (both urine and multiple stools), both of his water bowls were bone dry, and the toilet was bone dry (foot prints on the seat indicating he drank from it), the little trash can I left with new bags next to it was full of fecal matter (it didn’t look like a bag had been replaced at all). So I gave Misti the opportunity to explain to me what happened by telling her I was disappointed in the level of care.. her response was less than professional. Her last visit was Tuesday, I arrived home Wednesday morning. Her comment was that my cat was that messy every time she came and I had booked her every other day so what else was she supposed to do.. I have left my cat alone for 3 days and have never returned with it that unkempt. Two things could have happened differently here: 1) Misti could have told me in a calm matter that she would recommenced more frequent visits if I was unhappy and apologized. Or 2) while we were gone she could have sent an update to say he was running out of water every time and probably needed more visits where I could have declined and accepted that when I returned home. Either way, I gave her the chance to reconcile and instead she responded in a very unprofessional manner. I’m taken aback because I thought Misti would be a great Petsitter for us. Sad!
