Availability

As long as I have enough notice, I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I work from home 100% of the time, so I can generally make most visits work. I typically prefer at least a week’s notice if at all possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t just drop in to let dogs go potty. I am dedicated to full engagement during my visit. I want to make sure dogs are comfortable with me in their own environment! I treat dogs as if they’re my own, like I would want someone to care for my dogs. That’s very important to me.

Information Misty C. would like to know about your pet

I find it helpful to know key words that dogs are used to hearing for commands so they respond to me as they would to you. It's also important to understand their personality and routine when at home.

A typical day

I typically use dog toys and treats for physical and mental stimulation. I enjoy playing frisbee, ball, or just running around with them while they explore.

Pet care experience

*Insured Sitter & Walker* My husband and I reside in Quincy with our 3 daughters. I have had pets my whole life, but have had 20+ years of experience caring for pets. For 10 years I co-owned and operated a kennel for hunting dogs, where we bred, trained, and hunted them. I also have had experience working at a humane society for several years. I have an English Labrador Retriever, named Onyx. I 1000% love caring for dogs. I am used to all different breeds of dogs as I've had many breeds growing up over the years, including a senior dog we adopted. My friends and family have told me that I'm fantastic with dogs which is what has inspired me to pursue this opportunity. I understand basic first aid for dogs and can provide care to puppers that have special needs. The earlier you can book me, the better! Having two pets myself, I understand the importance of being prompt to check-in on your pets and making sure they have everything they need. I am very respectful of other people's homes and always try to leave things better than the way I found them. I possess an "others-serving" attitude and make sure that what I do for others is what I would expect them to do if they were caring for my pups.

Misty takes such good care of our animals and is willing to adjust to their needs. She even took our puppy to her house when the weather was horrible!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
