Avid animal lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been in the Sparks/Reno area for almost 2 years & love caring for animals. I work from home a decent amount of days so able to care for other pets easily. I recently lost my soul dog, Midnight to cancer and to help myself heal I would love the opportunity to care for other pets. Below is my profile from when I originally started on Rover & wanted to keep it with just a minor update since I do not live in Minnesota anymore. :) ————— recently moved to the Twin Cities area and own/care for 2 dogs, Midnight a 6yr old black labchow and Charlie, a 5yr old red heeler/ridgeback mix. I grew up with dogs since a young age and have previously worked in a full-service dog kennel as well as cared for cats, ferrets and horses. My hands-on experience is general care/feeding, basic medication administration & first aid. I am always taking my dogs on walks, to new parks and other dog-friendly events so would love to extend those opportunities to others if wanted! We recently moved to Spring Lake Park and now can offer in-home boarding! We have a large fenced in backyard that our 2 dogs love to run around in all day. I treat mine as "fur-kids" and routinely referred to as a dog mom, so expect yours to be treated with just as much love and care!

Murphy was a very pleasant & nice person. We received pictures a couple times and brief updates. She told us that the dogs were walked everyday and that she was over to the house 3 times a day. All indicators say that was not true. I tried to contact her again and received no response.

Murphy was wonderful! She spent over a week dog sitting at our house. She was respectful, responsible and up front about her schedule as it related to our dog and the hours of care. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures of our dog while we were away. Murphy is calm and kind and our dog immediately took to her. Murphy also did a great job of administering daily eye drops for our 12.5 year old dog. Upon our return, our house was just as we left it and better! I would definitely contact Murphy again in the future.

Murphy has watched my pup a few times and she is excellent. She sends updates/pictures of my little girl. I will use her every time I need a sitter if available!

Murphy was great with our two dogs! She was upfront and honest about her schedule in relation to our needs and she made herself available in order to accommodate. She was timely and trustworthy; sending us ADORABLE pictures of the dogs and upon arriving home, our dogs were happy and comfortable, confirming that they were well taken care of while we were away.
