Pet care experience

Animal Enthusiast With Endless Love

I've had a household full of pets for 12 years, and I can't go without! I bring my experience as a pet owner of dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles, as well as hundreds of hours of volunteer and employment experience in animal welfare. I know how to provide many different kinds of enrichment to suit your pet personally, I have basic training experience, and I'm able to provide walks to all sizes of dogs in any weather on any terrain. I can also administer medication, and provide select grooming services to most pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to care for your pets however you desire in your home. If I'm stopping by for a check-in and some feeding, I'll make sure that I spend time with your pet to make sure they're alright. If you have an enclosed backyard you would like me to make use of, I'm happy to take any dogs out for a play session! Whatever you are set up for at your home and are comfortable entrusting me with, I will strive to meet those requests the best I can.

Murray was the best sitter we’ve could’ve asked for while we were away. He communicate daily and included photos and information about our fur babies. In fact, our shih-poos are two that don’t warm up to people immediately, but it was literally no time at all before Murray was treated like he was one of the family. He definitely has a way with establishing trust, nurture and genuine care shared in every visit.

Murray was wonderful! Delightful to work with. Excellent with communicating. Very attentive to Nala’s needs, especially as they cared for her during very intense heat. I would give my highest recommendation over and over. I’m very grateful for the care Nala received.

Murray was wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everyone. We received updates and photos, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were safe and happy. It was clear they genuinely cared about the animals and paid attention to their individual needs. We came home to happy, healthy pets and everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!!

Murray is the best sitter you can find! He loves our babies as his own and gives them each the special attention and care they need. Murray has experience with all kinds of animals which helps prepare him for each pet’s unique needs. I especially love the enrichment time Murray provides to keep my dogs engaged and thriving while I’m away.

My dog is extremely particular about strangers and new people. She can be especially uneasy around men. But Murray won her over. He’s well versed in dog body language, positive reinforcement, and clearly knows how to build trust and confidence with a pet so they can work together. My dog adores Murray now and loves their long walks.

Moe is an amazing caregiver that I know I can trust with my babies and I can’t recommend highly enough! He has an incredible ability to connect with animals of all sizes and temperaments and treats each one with genuine care, patience, and attention. What really sets Moe apart is experience and intuition. He strives to understand your pet, their routine, and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
