Safety, trust & environment

I'm there to follow your care instructions, down to the letter. I'll stick to your family's usual schedule to help keep your absence as stress-free as possible for your furry family member.

Information Murphy N. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs medication, just give me directions and consider it done. Have a favorite park to walk to or toys to play with? Basically... feel free to ramble on about your pet because I love hearing everyone's favorite furbaby stories! I will work with all breeds, especially pit bulls! Pibbles will probably always be my favorites (who am I kidding, all animals are my favorite, but pitties will always hold a special place in my heart).

A typical day

Just tell me what I can and should do! What is your pet's ideal day? I'll be there to make them feel like they are on vacation. I'm a tennis ball throwing and laser pointer champion, but I'm also perfectly content to chill on the couch and cuddle. Just let me know what your pet needs and I'm happy to help.

Pet care experience

I'm that forever animal lover who worked at a shelter right out of high school, so I have experience giving meds and working with anxious animals of all breeds and ages. I've kept everything from cats and dogs, reptiles, horses, and saltwater fish tanks. Right now, I'm lucky enough to share my home with a rescue Catahoula Cur and a Giant Day Gecko (she's literally the geico gecko!).

Experienced a few hiccups and hoped for more updates throughout, but overall did a good job taking care of Meli.

This is the second time we used Murphy. Murphy took great care of the dogs and the house. We were happy to have her back. Thanks Murphy!

Murphy was wonderful and took amazing care of our pup, birds and house. She was easy to communicate with and made a very relaxed vacation.
