Dogs and cats, all shapes and sizes

Pet care experience

I’ve raised and trained my own dogs for 20 years, and have provided training or care for pets belonging to neighbors, family and friends. I have great ease particularly with large dogs - for examples, I’ve led an excitable Great Dane through puppy training as well as simultaneously walked two full-sized St. Bernard dogs that were over twice my size. I’ve also worked with small dogs and senior dogs. I provided senior care for a family member’s senior beagle/terrier, which involved administering shots, providing gentle exercise, and preparing special meals of rice and pumpkin. I’m comfortable providing medicine or shots to pets.

Molly was amazing! She is very detail oriented and did an amazing job at keeping me updated throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter!

Molly was great with my cat. She loves Molly. Second time with her I will definitely contact her again.

This was our experience with Molly this past week. She was scheduled for 10 thirty minute drop-in visits with our two senior dogs. She made all the visits BUT never stayed more than 20 min. Most were 10 min or less with even a few under 5 min. She was also late or early which left our pets alone for over 12 hours and not proper time to be outside or eat. She was reporting that she was there the full 30 minutes. Had it not been for our Ring doorbell, we would not have known. When confronted, she admitted she had overbooked herself and offered a partial refund to attempt to make things right. We will not be using her in the future.

Molly was so good with my cat and it is super friendly. She visited at the established time and followed the instructions. I recommend Molly.

Safety, trust & environment

Your feelings of trust and safety when I am providing care to your furry family members is of utmost priority. Since I primarily offer dog walking, I will typically meet you/your pet at your home and follow your preferences in regard to routine for your pet. If you are looking for dog sitting or dog socialization, I have a large, shady fenced-in yard at home and a very sweet Labrador retriever dog who loves making new friends.

Information Molly T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I enjoy practicing dog training and am happy to continue any training programs you are using with your dog while they’re in my care.

A typical day

I have a large backyard, perfect for games of fetch. I enjoy taking the dogs to explore the smells of the neighborhood, which is very walkable with wide sidewalks. Nearby is the bike trail, where I enjoy taking my dog for runs.

I love winding down from my day as a teacher with a nice, long walk with a furry friend. During the school year, my teaching day ends at 3:30, after which I am available for pet care.
