Highlights
Pet care experience
TJ's PB dog treats are kinda tasty
I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. I love dogs and cats! I have grown up with pets and there were always at least two animals in my home. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dogs, including administering medicine. I am a sophomore at Mount Holyoke so I am available year-round, including holidays. I live right next to Amethyst Brook so dogs staying with me will get daily hikes through the woods, socialization with other dogs, and off-leash fun (if preferred)!
Cat care experience
Selkie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is very pet-friendly as all rooms of the house are safe for animals. We allow pets on furniture, have plenty of toys and treats, and have a large backyard with easy-access to walking paths for both on off leash exercise. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog is 1 year and a half Irish-wolfhound mix (although more like the size of a lab) and absolutely adores other dogs. She is very friendly and loves to play. My cat likes dogs as well, but mainly keeps to herself and has plenty of hiding spaces to escape high energy canine play. When I am pet sitting, 100% of my attention is on the animals and they are my #1 priority at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Selkie did a great job with our cat! She has a lovely way of connecting... on the animal's terms. Our cat warmed up very quickly. We look forward to future bookings. Thank you, Selkie!
Very communicative and affectionate to my sweet cats!
Selkie was great with our two, medium/large dogs! She arrived on-time, provided photo updates and was quick to respond. We look forward to booking Selkie again in the future.
Selkie sent lots of pictures, and Paloma clearly had a great time. Thank you!
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Selkie M. as a dog sitter. Having had the pleasure of working with her as our dog/house sitter, I can confidently say that she is a remarkable individual who would provide safe, loving care to any furry friends entrusted to her. Selkie possesses outstanding skills in animal care, demonstrating not only a deep understanding of dog behavior but also an innate ability to connect with animals on a personal level. During her time with us, she consistently showcased her dedication and compassion, caring for our dog, Louis, as if he were her own. He absolutely loved Selkie, and her attentiveness and positive demeanor ensured he felt safe and loved while I was away. She is not just a pet sitter; she is an exceptional caretaker and a true advocate for our four-legged companions.
Selkie is the loveliest, most responsible and caring pet sitter. She is a true animal lover and I never had to worry a moment with my dog in her care. She is responsive and will send photos and updates. Selkie stayed in my home with my dog and we returned to a neat and tidy house with a happy doggy every time. We are so sad to lose her to the east coast but our loss is someone else’s gain! Don’t hesitate!
