Mo can care for
Availability
My schedule is flexible for meet and greets, and I leave notification sounds on between 9AM-9PM. There's always a chance I'll respond outside of those hours and meet and greets can be scheduled regardless of that time frame, I'll work with you. I'm an artist; I chip away at commissions while sitting. I'm pretty much going to be in your home the entire booking. I may occasionally run an errand or care for my scale babies (they don't need anywhere near as much attention as fur babies, don't worry). I always notify my clients so they know when I leave/return.

Safety, trust & environment
My approach focuses on utilizing ethology to keep your best friend comfortable and build trust. As long as you provide me with a walk-through and detailed instructions on important specifications, I can get the job done. (ie, Luna needs x dose of epileptic medication at y time with swiss cheese, Bear resource guards food and his bed so don't do z while he's in his crate, etc.) I will also provide photos and updates, log feeding, and should something important come up or I need clarification, I will reach out. Trust is the foundation of all relationships, human and animal. I believe building trust with clients is as important as it is in working with their pets.
Information Mo J. would like to know about your pet
If your friend has medical conditions, medications, behavioral quirks, or some other unique challenge, please let me know. I'll always want to know what your companion likes and dislikes. Inform me if there are behaviors you are working on with them so I will also be consistent in their training and not interrupt progress (such as jumping up on people, scratching furniture, etc).
A typical day
Every animal has their own idea of fun, and I will pay attention to what your friend likes. Could be time out in the yard to play fetch and get some zoomies out, some friendly tug-of-war in the living room to build those muscles, or maybe they're content with a quiet cuddle buddy and a couple walks. I adapt to keep them adequately stimulated and happy!

I don't just love pets, I know 'em!
Pet care experience
After about a decade of animal care experience and working at kennels, I can take care of anyone's non-human family! I've had handling experience with pets of many temperaments and personalities, and I've worked with many furry friends requiring specialized care due to illness and age. I'm always studying up as we learn more about the incredible creatures we share this world with because I'm serious about giving animals the best care we can provide via understanding their behavior, biological needs, and individual personalities so even animals with unique challenges will get the top-shelf quality care they deserve. I also enjoy getting some exercise, I'd love a new walking buddy if your baby needs to move those legs!
Reviews
Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Mo is fantastic and did a wonderful job taking care of Gulliver!
Mo provides 5-star service — to my dog, and to me. Communicated well, sent photos frequently. I knew my dog was happy and felt safe when I got photos of him belly-up and relaxed. Mo house-sat for five days and it was clean and well cared for. I highly recommend Mo, and will be using his services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️
Mo was really great with my dog, Bandit. Bandit is a Pomeranian with a lot of “agency” and Mo was a great person to have here for a dog that can be difficult at times. I know Bandit loved Mo as when I changed the sheets on his bed, Bandit immediately jumped on the sheets as he missed Mo!
