I'll love your dog like you do!

Pet care experience

A dog owner myself, I know how precious your babies are and will care for them as I'd want someone to care for mine in my absence. I love all breeds! And have a special fondness for the misunderstood ones like pit bulls, dobermans and the like. I fostered "bully breeds" for 5 years and adored every one! This also gave me experience in training dogs as I prepared them for adoption. I won't just show up to let your dog outside and feed her/him. I'll help them pass the time while they wait for your return! We'll play if they want to play, snuggle if they want some love, and walk if they need fresh air. My goal is to make your babies as content as possible in your absence and ease their potential anxiety however I can!

I'd call her the dog whisperer if the name hadn't already been patented and trademarked. Watching Mj with my dog, I can say she easily steps into alpha, which is the best thing for a pack animal. I saw Mj train a pit bull to shake paw, lay down, and woof on command in 20 minutes at an adoption event. All this with a dog the handlers had already tried and failed at. The pups KNOW!!

MJ has been watching my pets for 7 years now and I wouldn't think of using anyone else! She was referred to me through the cleaning service I've used for 13 years and I'm SO thankful they recommended her because she has been a savior more times than I can count! I travel quite frequently for business. Sometimes a 1 to 2 weeks at a time! But even on short notice, when I've had to make a day trip somewhere, she makes time to drop by and check on my babies so they don't even realize I'm gone. The hardest thing for me was getting used to having someone in my home without me there. But because she came so highly recommended by my cleaning service, who I trust, I gave her a try. She was very considerate of my hesitation and didn't make me feel bad for it! She's worked with me long enough to have helped me through losing one dog. Mica was 16 years when she passed and had been with me through college so I was very VERY broken. MJ felt the loss with me as she too had gotten attached to Mica. It was she who recommended getting a companion for Bo, my other baby, who was also feeling the loss of Mica and had fallen into a state of depression. I hadn't thought of the effect on him, but she helped me find a new baby and wow! what a difference in Bo. He was back to his old self and playing and jumping around! I don't have a Rover account as I don't need to browse for pet or house sitters but I'd be selfish to try to keep MJ to myself! lol. She is a great and trustworthy person that would provide wonderful care for your fur babies! You'll be glad to have her!

MJ house/pet sit for me for 3 years before we moved from College Station. I used her on the recommendation of a cleaning service I used, not through Rover. Each stay was at least a week and we used her several times a year. She was very professional, respectful, and non-assuming. She would always send me updates with videos and pictures. Our pets are like children to us, so I appreciated this very much! On one occasion, one of my dogs got very ill and started having seizures. MJ took her to our vet right away and then called me to let me know what was going on, what the vet was doing and what he recommended. As I hadn't anticipated this happening, I didn't leave any way for her to pay for the visit or the meds. But, to my relief she had already made arrangements to pay for everything out of her own pocket, so my girl could get the treatment she needed. When we returned, I reimbursed her with much earned interest because to me this went above and beyond! While some owners may have preferred to be called prior to their pet being taken to the vet in such a case, I greatly appreciated the initiative MJ took and the care she continued to give my babies. And above all, all 3 of my dogs and both of my cats loved her! That said it all for me! It has been hard to find someone like her to take care of my 'kids' since we moved.
