I was a Great Dane in a past life.

Pet care experience

I wish I could pet every pupper I meet! I know they can sense how much I love them, which makes it easy to form a quick bond. Even people who say, "Don't worry, she doesn't like anyone," are surprised at how quickly their little lass or lad and I become friends. That connection makes walking, playing, or sitting together a real joy. I am also strong for my size and very patient so I tend to have success walking even the most distractible dogs. When I stay at your place, I clean up after myself and try to keep everything as I found it. I live in a one bedroom apartment with a courtyard just outside where all the neighborhood dogs play, so it's great for lots of outdoor and social time! You can count on my keeping your pup's routine as close to your own care as possible and you'll get lots of photo and video updates because let's face it, the cuteness doesn't stop because you're out of town! I know you and your pup will miss each other, I just hope I can keep the whole family happy in the meantime. I can't wait to meet yours!

Moxy is an excellent pet and house sitter! She is extremely communicative, prompt and professional and was able to handle our anxious pup’s quirks. We are very glad to have found her and would book with her again in a heartbeat.

Third time having Moxie and Shannon watch my brood and l am as impressed and grateful for their care as l have been the last two times. Moxy and Shannon are obviously true animal lovers and they absolutely dote on my animals. They are great at sending pictures and videos throughout their visit so l can see what my dog and cats are up to. Will definitely use again in the future. Thank you again Moxy and Shannon.

Moxy and Shannon are the BEST! I was a first time Rover user and a bit nervous to leave my dog with someone new - especially because he has some significant anxiety and nervousness problems. He very quickly warmed up to Moxy and Shannon during our meet & greet and I could tell he was in incredibly loving and capable hands during his long 10 day stay! Moxy was very communicative and provided great updates and photos. Would not hesitate to work with them again!

Moxy is absolutely fantastic! She was great at staying in contact with me and shared so many pictures of my pets which helped immensely with my anxiety for leaving them at home with a sitter. I could tell they were very happy and well cared for, and when I came back they were both so calm and relaxed. She also left my apartment cleaner than I left it and I am SO impressed by her attention to detail. Thank you Moxy! Great experience and will definitely book her again in the future.

I live just off the courtyard for my apartment complex where all the neighborhood dogs come to play so there's plenty of opportunity for outdoor time and socializing if it fits with your pup's style.

My petting/scratching skills are unmatched, I love snuggling all night, and I have an excessive amount of patience so I can play fetch all day!

I work from home full-time so if your pup is staying with me, we'll have lots of cuddle, walk, and scritchy-scratch breaks. If I'm staying at your place during the week, I do have the option to bring my laptop and work from there, but on busy or spreadsheet-heavy days, I do like to be at my usual double-monitor set-up at home. I can plan on midday visits if that's the case and your pup needs them.
