Experienced, Reliable Pet Lover
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Moira, and with me, you can be assured that your dog is in excellent hands,meaning keeping them safe and active, and of course receiving tons of love and affection! I have six years of experience pet sitting for family and friends, and I currently work at a dog daycare part time. I have been working here for two years, and in that time have gained so much information and knowledge about the canine mind and behavior. I have lots of experience with kennel work (feeding, oral and topical medications, older dogs, bathing, etc) as well as experience supervising 50+ dogs of all sizes and ages at once on a busy day. Working with dogs/animals is truly my passion, and has been pretty much since I was a baby. I can care for any size or age. I can also care for cats or other small animals as well (I currently own a 3-year-old cat named Bella) and I have even cared for two pot belly pigs. I completely understand how difficult it can be to leave your baby behind while you are busy at work. I will leave you feeling satisfied knowing your dog is having an awesome time by keeping you updated on how they are doing, if they pooped or peed, how long of a walk we took, as well as frequent pictures! I look forward to meeting you and your fur-child soon and thank you for considering me! Here are just a few things to keep in mind if you chose me to care for your pet: Boarding in my home: -I am only able to accept small to medium sized dogs in my home. I live in a bungalow style home, which may not be the ideal space for some bigger dogs. I do have a unfenced, medium sized yard, great trails near by for long walks, a lake house in the summer with a dock, and a fantastic dog park near by. I also own a cat who gets along very well with small to medium dogs, but anything larger than that unfortunately may not work out. Dog Walking/Drop-Ins: -I can almost always accept last minute walks. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me! -I am available for dog walking/drop-ins in the towns of Waterbury, Watertown, Middlebury, Hamden, Cheshire, Southington, Wallingford, Naugatuck, and Prospect. If you do not live in one of these towns, just message me and we can possibly work something out. Pet sitting (in your home): -I am able to provide this service in the same towns as above. My work schedule changes every week, but I only work part time. Due to this, during the week I am able to give potty breaks/feedings/other necessities every 3-5 hours. On the weekends, I am usually off so I am pretty much always available.

Moira has a real love for animals. Her kindness and compassion toward all pets is truly evident. I would recommend Moira for all your pet care needs.
Moira has a true love for animals and has lots of experience with dogs and other pets! Shes super reliable and trustworthy. Shes the best!!!
I trust Moira with my dog 100%. She is very attentive to detail and it shows in her work! I've never met someone who loves dogs more than her. I recommended her 100%. You will not be disappointed! She is super caring and reliable.
Moira is the best sitter ever! She loves your dog like it's her own, and works hard to accommodate your needs. She would be a great candidate for the job.

Information Moira D. would like to know about your pet
-Daily feeding and exercise schedule for your pup so I can stick to what they are used to so they feel comfortable -Your pup's temperament with others dogs (is he/she aggressive? food aggressive?) -Any special needs, conditions, or medications your pup has -I ask for no aggressive dogs, and if your dog is aggressive solely towards other dogs please let me know so I can accommodate his/her needs. For boarding clients, all I ask is that a meet and great takes place before the actual date I begin. This is just to make sure we go through everything together to ensure I can provide the best care, and to make sure your dog and I can bond and trust each other.
A typical day
There is so much to explore! I absolutely love going on long walks. Whether it be in my town, your town, local parks or bike paths, there will always be something to do. I also love going for car rides, surprising your dog with yummy/healthy treats, teaching your dog a new trick, or just simply doing something to keep your dog stimulated and engaged. I believe keeping active is so important to make sure your dog is happy, and it'll also make you happy knowing you will come home to a tired pup who is ready to snuggle! In the summer I have a lake house I go to often located in Middlebury for us to enjoy and explore! There are trails near by here, as well as lots of tennis balls and frisbees ;)
